Plan ahead for Corporate Wellness Week: 1–5 July 2025
Wellness isn’t just a personal goal. It’s a workplace priority. A healthy team is a productive, motivated, and more connected team. And with Corporate Wellness Week taking place from 1 to 5 July 2025, now is the perfect time for businesses to plan how they’ll prioritise employee health and wellbeing.
You don’t need a huge budget or complex programme to make a meaningful difference. Small, intentional changes can go a long way in building a workplace culture that values balance, mental health, and physical wellbeing.
Here are five easy ideas to help your company get started and create a workplace that supports your people.
1. Start with Mental Health Moments
Mental health is foundational to overall wellness, yet it’s often overlooked in busy work environments. During Corporate Wellness Week, create simple ways for your team to take a mindful pause.
Ideas to try:
- Guided meditation or breathing session (in-person or virtual)
- Quiet wellness zones or breakaway spaces
- Encourage a “no-meeting hour” daily to reduce screen fatigue
You can also share mental health resources or invite a speaker for a lunchtime talk on stress, burnout, or work-life boundaries. The message should be clear: it’s okay to pause, reset, and take care of your mind.
2. Encourage Movement (Even the Small Kind)
Sitting all day takes a toll on physical health, circulation, and energy levels. Use Corporate Wellness Week as a launchpad for more movement-friendly routines.
Try this:
- Host a team steps challenge with small prizes or incentives
- Offer walking meetings or “movement breaks” between tasks
- Provide a short daily desk-stretch routine or mobility video
The key is to normalise short bursts of physical activity throughout the workday not just a gym membership or a once-off event.
3. Nourish from the Inside Out
Food fuels focus, energy, and mood. Help your team make more mindful food choices by offering accessible, healthy options throughout the week.
Some easy ways to do this:
- Provide healthy snacks like fruit, nuts, and yoghurt
- Swap fizzy drinks for infused water stations
- Host a lunch-and-learn on nutrition or mindful eating
You could also partner with a local health-conscious café for employee discounts or set up a DIY smoothie station one morning. Simple, supportive choices show your team you care.
4. Personalised Health Checks or Screenings
Prevention is powerful and often overlooked. Offering quick, accessible health screenings during the week is one of the most impactful ways to support employee wellness.
Medshield, for example, supports wellness through activations like Abby Health machines that complete key health checks in under 3 minutes.
Options to consider:
- Blood pressure and glucose testing
- BMI and cholesterol screenings
- Eye checks or posture assessments
Even better, offer these on-site or nearby to make participation easy and stress-free. It’s about taking the step toward better health, one small check at a time.
5. Keep It Going
Wellness Week should be a starting point not a tick box. End the week by asking employees what they enjoyed most, what helped them feel better, and what they’d like to see more of.
Consider:
- Anonymous feedback surveys
- Suggestion boxes for future wellness ideas
- A monthly wellness theme or continued calendar of events
Whether it’s “Wellness Wednesdays” or a flexible hour to support mental health days, small and consistent steps create a workplace where wellbeing isn’t seasonal, it’s part of the culture.
Creating a Culture of Care
Investing in your team’s wellbeing is more than a one-week commitment it’s a long-term strategy for happier, healthier, more engaged people. And it doesn’t have to be complicated.
By planning early and choosing simple, intentional ideas, your business can make Corporate Wellness Week 2025 the start of something truly valuable.
Because healthy companies are built on healthy people.
