WELLNESS AT WORK

Self-Care as a Pillar of Wellness

Self-care includes all aspects of a person's life and cannot be separated between home and work. It is a foundational pillar of health and wellness.

​

Wellness at work can help employees to be healthier, more balanced, more resourced and to reduce burnout.

Supporting workplace wellness, including self-care activities, demonstrates a commitment to employee wellbeing and company values that go beyond the bottom line.

WELLNESS AT WORK

A 30 Day Self-Care Challenge

As the world transitions out of the pandemic, the need for self-care is as important as ever. Many individuals continue to face stress and anxiety, and ongoing challenges to mental, emotional and physical health.
 

By implementing practices and routines that support health and wellbeing, an individual can be better resourced to navigate stress and uncertainty. This 30 Day Self-Care Challenge provides an accountability and educational framework for implementing new healthy self-care practices into one's life.

Self-care practices are foundational to resilience and continued growth.

This is an opportunity for employers to support staff and demonstrate that they care. And it may be particularly beneficial for individuals who are stuck in their less-than- healthy routines - helping them to shift and mobilize into new healthy habits, attitudes and behaviours.

Commitment:

• commit to self-care and creating new habits for 30 days

• 1 - 3 self-care commitments to be completed every day

Education:

Accountability:

• record successes into an accountability platform daily

Teambuilding (optional):
