Your Wellness. Your Way. Build a Healthier Workplace Together.
Wellness looks different for everyone, and finding what works for you can make a difference both inside and outside the workplace. The Health Action Council Spring Employer Step It Up Challenge invites your team to explore new ways to support their well-being, build healthy habits, and discover what helps them feel their best. This no-cost, four-week challenge, sponsored by CBIZ, makes prioritizing wellness a shared experience that brings colleagues together.
Each week introduces a new opportunity to explore a different area of wellness, from personal growth and self-care to healthy choices, meaningful connections, and everyday habits.
Powered by our wellness platform partner, YuMuuv, the challenge makes it easy to stay motivated and celebrate progress along the way. Participants can sync or manually enter steps, cheer on teammates, and track individual and team progress on leaderboards. By encouraging employees to prioritize their own wellness while supporting one another, the challenge helps build stronger connections, boost workplace engagement, and create a healthier workplace culture.
Register a team made up of at least three participants that include employees, colleagues, customers, family, and friends.
