Workplace Wellness Challenge at the NWHU​

October is Healthy Workplace Month and the Northwestern Health Unit is inviting you to participate in their 6th Annual Workplace Wellness Challenge! The goal of the Workplace Wellness Challenge is to encourage workplaces to support employee health and well-being. Research has shown that poor health and lifestyles choices can lead to increased stress, decreased morale and decreased effectiveness in the workplace. Christine McLeod, Health Promoter, says “the challenge is a way to get us all thinking about our physical and mental health at work. A friendly competition between colleagues and workplaces can motivate us to get more active, eat more fruits and vegetables and pay attention to things like how many hours of sleep we get each night. These healthy lifestyle practices will help to make our time at work more positive.” Workplaces are encouraged to take part in the challenge by designating a team captain and recruiting employees to participate; registration is open until September 28, 2018. Regional and local prizes will be awarded to workplaces that rank the highest based on average points earned per participant. For more information and to register for the Workplace Wellness Challenge, contact your local Public Health Unit or visit www.nwhu.on.ca.
