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. 
• Improved workplace satisfaction — When employees are engaged, they’re more likely to feel that their team values their contributions. Wellness Coach is the only digital health platform with a 51% engagement rate, making it a phenomenal way to keep teams satisfied. 
• Fun opportunities to connect with others — With built-in leaderboards that show results in real time, you can enjoy some friendly competition with your friends, family, and colleagues. Plus, the visual display gives everyone the extra motivation they need to finish strong.
