Spring: The perfect "Reset" to activate your team
If January 1st marks the phase of intention, spring is the catalyst for real action in the corporate wellness strategy. With the arrival of good weather, longer days, and the farewell to the polar cold, a strategic window opens for companies: launching a corporate sports challenge.
Why now and not another time? Here are the 4reasons why spring is the strategic ally of your wellness plan.
1. The awakening of energy (and Vitamin D)
After a winter of scarce light and sedentary living, the increase in hours of sun exposure triggers the production of serotonin and Vitamin D. Your employees are naturally more predisposed to go out, move, and socialize.
The benefit: There is less resistance to change. It is much easier to convince someone to add steps when the sun is shining than when it is raining at 5 in the afternoon.
2. The "Wellness Operation" (without pressure)
Unlike the stress that summer sometimes generates, spring invites gradual preparation. Our focus on inclusivity (steps, yoga, crossfit, etc.) ensures that the majority of the staff, regardless of their physical condition, feels part of the plan.
The benefit: The team adopts healthy habits organically, improving their physical and emotional well-being before the holidays, and maximizing participation in the challenge.
3. Combating spring asthenia
Many employees suffer from that typical fatigue of the change of season. Moderate physical exercise is, paradoxically, the best remedy against tiredness.
The benefit: Promoting actions such as “Commuting to work by bike” or “Sunset walks” is an effective tool that directly impacts the reduction of presenteeism and the improvement of concentration and productivity in the office.
4. Teambuilding outside the four walls
Spring allows the app's digital challenges to be transferred to the physical world. Teams can organize meetups for running, hiking routes, or yoga sessions in the park.
Activy Tip: Take advantage of the social functions of our app so that employees can share photos of their spring routes. There is no better glue for a team than a common goal under the sun!
