Benefits of Group Wellness Challenges
Many people are still feeling the effects of pandemic-related stress, but wellness challenges provide a fun way to connect with others and receive encouragement that supports overall health and happiness. However, wellness challenges offer more benefits than just minimizing stress:
- Focuses on self-care — Wellness challenges help to support a healthy work-life balance for employees and their family members. This type of benefit goes beyond healthcare to deliver a truly meaningful impact.
- Accountability for achieving goals — By competing with friends, family, and co-workers, people are more likely to achieve their wellness goals. Research published in PLOS ONE actually shows that people are more likely to achieve New Year’s goals when they receive social support.
