1. Get Everyone Excited About Resolutions
People are likely to stick to resolutions when they write them down and share them with others for accountability. A supportive team cheering you on can make all the difference in achieving change.
Host a quick “goal-setting session” to start the year. Give everyone a few minutes to jot down health or wellness goals they want to focus on. Provide templates for setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals to make resolutions realistic and actionable. To keep it light and fun, you can even come up with shared goals like drinking more water or taking midday stretch breaks. It's a simple way to set the tone for a healthier, more connected year.
2. Make Preventative Care Easy
Taking care of minor issues before they become serious saves time, money and stress. Plus, it shows your team you care about their well-being.
Bring in a local clinic for flu shots, send out reminders about scheduling checkups or create a “health checklist” of recommended annual checkups, dental visits and vision tests.
3. Start a Team Wellness Challenge
Who doesn’t love a little friendly competition? Wellness challenges are a great way to build healthy habits together.
Create a simple challenge that works for your team. Maybe it’s logging steps, drinking enough water or practicing mindfulness every day. Use apps like Strava, Fitbit or even just Google Sheets to track progress. Offer a prize—like a gift card or an extra day off—for top participants.
4. Create a Wellness Resource Hub
Getting started can be the hardest part. Supporting them with a guide or the right tools can encourage them to take action.
Compile resources like mental health hotlines, meditation apps, meal-prep guides or fitness discounts, and share them in a central spot, like your workplace group chats or email newsletters.
5. Offer Comprehensive Health Coverage
Provide your team with year-round access to the care they need. When your team knows they’re covered, they can focus on their health with confidence. It’s peace of mind for them—and for you.
Make sure your health benefits include preventative care, mental health resources and wellness programs. Highlight these benefits in a kickoff meeting or email to keep everyone informed.
