Spring Forward with Healthy Habits!
The Health Action Council Spring Employer Step It Up Challenge, sponsored by CBIZ, is a no-cost, four-week step program that encourages and promotes overall health in the workplace. This spring, participants will enjoy fun spring activities and share healthy recipes, while boosting camaraderie and productivity.
Our wellness platform partner, YuMuuv, provides support for mental and physical wellbeing. The platform allows participants to sync steps from their fitness device, manually enter steps, cheer on fellow steppers in the challenge chat, and view team and individual leaderboards.
Do you love to cook or are looking for more ways to eat healthy? Improve overall wellbeing with healthy recipe ideas and compete in pop-up mini challenges to win valuable prizes such as gift cards, gift sets, and swag! You won’t want to miss out!
