In 2021, World Health Day is calling for action to eliminate health inequalities around the world<\/strong>. It might seem like a daunting task for companies keen to engage their employees on this important day. However, World Health Day is all about promoting health and that includes healthy lifestyles, habits, recipes, workouts and also profounding our knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re about to show you some fun ideas for highlighting World Health Day in the office – and celebrating even if your employees are currently working from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Ask employees to share their favorite healthy meals and recipes for World Health Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A healthy, balanced diet is the key to being healthful. Are there some real foodies among your coworkers? Or maybe someone particularly interesting in cooking or baking? Ask them to share their favorite recipes and meals with your team! Apart from boosting employee engagement<\/strong>, you will also boost employee morale<\/strong>. You can then share the recipes or pictures on your work group chat or share them on social media channels to show the humane side of your company and give visibility to your employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above you can see how our teammates participated in the activity prepared by our marketing team. We all shared our favorite #WFHBreakfast – apart from getting some real inspiration for our breakfast we also got to find out who eats cookies for breakfast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Get everyone to share their favorite workouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A healthy diet is the most important aspect of staying healthy but it\u2019s also important to stay fit! If lunch breaks in your company consist of some people exchanging their recent deadlift or chest press PRs, they will surely participate in this activity. Ask your employees to share their favorite workouts or exercises – it\u2019s time to show off those PRs in real life! Motivate other team members by sharing motivational pictures of metamorphoses, hard workouts, or relaxing exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe one of your employees is a yogi or Zumba instructor? They might be keen to prepare a special class just for your team (even on Zoom)! But if no one\u2019s keen or qualified to organize a guided class, hire a professional! You won\u2019t pay much for one hour of boot camp but the memories will be meaningful as there\u2019s no better team-building technique than sweating together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use the Fitness Wheel to get everyone moving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you know that the majority of your team members won\u2019t be up for a full-on workout, encourage them to move for at least 30 seconds! We adapted our traditional prize wheel to a\u2026 fitness wheel that our customers love! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Try our Fitness Wheel promotion<\/a> to know how to engage your employees this World Health Day. You can encourage them to share videos of their mini workouts for a chance to get a free fresh bagel delivered to their desk! <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This proposition works like any other prize wheel. Participants register and spin the wheel to find out what exercise they must do. You can adapt the wheel to home and gym workouts, as well as yoga poses! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Educate on healthy measures with the Memory game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the sudden outbreak of the pandemic last year, everyone was focused on following the measures recommended by the WHO. We created this World Health Day Memory game<\/a> to help online users memorize all the steps they should follow.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use exactly the same application for promoting power foods or the most nutritious fruit and veggies – it\u2019s completely up to you which theme you go for. You will motivate your employees even more if you offer a prize to the fastest player or enter all participants into a random prize draw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Check your colleagues\u2019 knowledge of healthy habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, we are all quite informed on healthy habits. We know that ditching cigarettes and alcohol are as important as eating 5 pieces of fruit and veggies every day. But maybe it\u2019s time to see who is the best informed colleague out of your team?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organize a Timed Quiz<\/a> where your coworkers answer a series of questions about a healthy lifestyle. The fun thing about this application is that you can make your employees play until the moment they answer all the questions correctly! What a great way to educate your team! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Don\u2019t forget about the basic World Health Day ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your team working from the office? Make sure that apart from organizing fun activities you also organize some traditional activities, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
