15 Corporate Wellbeing Event Ideas to boost employee morale and productivity
In today’s fast-paced corporate world, prioritising employee wellbeing is more than just a trend—it’s a strategic necessity. A healthy, happy team is a more engaged, productive, and resilient team.
Looking to plan an event that will truly make a difference? Here are 15 corporate wellbeing event ideas to inspire you, featuring some of the unique offerings from the experts at Wellbeing Walks.
- The Classic Wellbeing Walk
A simple but powerful idea. Encourage your team to take a break and step outside. Wellbeing Walks offers tailored one day guided walks that get teams out of the office and into nature. These aren’t just strolls; they’re an opportunity for teams to connect, clear their heads, and get some fresh air.
- Hiking, Adventure Days, Charity Challenges
Go beyond a simple walk and add an element of adventure. Wellbeing Walks specialise in creating bespoke experiences that combine a guided walk with a fun activity. Imagine a team day that includes Walking and Wild Swimming or a Brewery Tour or Yoga & Sound Baths. Or let us take your team on a more challenging hike like the Edale Skyline or the Yorkshire Three Peaks and get sponsored to raise money for your favourite charity.
- Mindfulness and Meditation Sessions
Bring a sense of calm to the workplace. Mindfulness and meditation sessions can be incorporated into your day to help employees reduce stress and improve focus. These can be short, guided sessions or a longer, more immersive workshop.
- “Walk and Talk” Meetings
Break free from the boardroom. A “walk and talk” meeting is a great way to foster creativity and collaboration. It’s a simple change that can lead to more dynamic and productive discussions, and it’s a perfect way to incorporate movement into the workday.
- On-Site Fitness Classes
Bring the gym to the office. Offering on-site fitness classes like yoga, pilates, or a general fitness session makes it easy for employees to stay active without leaving the building. It’s a great way to help people meet their weekly activity goals.
- “Healthy Lunch” Workshops
Food is a huge part of our wellbeing. A “Lunch and Learn” workshop with a nutritionist can teach employees about healthy eating habits, while a hands-on cooking class can be a fun, team-building activity that leaves everyone with a new recipe to try at home
- Volunteer Days
Give back to the community. Organising a company-wide volunteer day can boost morale, strengthen team bonds, and provide a sense of purpose. Whether it’s helping at a local charity or doing a clean-up project, it’s a win-win for everyone involved.
- “Bring Your Pet to Work” Day
A simple but effective way to boost mood and reduce stress. Allowing employees to bring their pets to the office can create a positive and lively atmosphere, offering a great way for people to de-stress with their furry friends. If this doesn’t work in the office environment, then why not let Wellbeing Walks take your team out for the day with their dogs – Bring your dog to work day.
- Financial Wellbeing Seminars
Financial stress is a major contributor to poor mental health. Providing seminars on topics like budgeting, saving, and retirement planning can empower employees and reduce a significant source of stress in their lives.
- Wellness Mountain Retreats
Try an overnight or weekend event for example we run unforgettable weekends, ascending the breathtaking mountains like Snowdon and Scafell Pike. Our Retreats can include:
- 🌄Guided Ascent of the Mountain: Experience the raw beauty and challenging terrain of iconic routes with our experienced and knowledgeable guides and qualified Mountain Leaders.
🛏️ One or Two nights accommodation in a cosy bunkhouse or self catering cottage, right in the heart of nature.
🥗 Wholesome, healthy meals prepared using local produce where possible, catering for all dietary requirements. For weekend retreats – enjoy hearty cooked breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday mornings and satisfying dinners on the Friday and Saturday evenings.
🧘Breathwork & Mindfulness Coaching: Enhance your connection with nature whilst on the mountain with talks from our expert Mountain Leader. Learn techniques to manage physical exertion, reduce stress, and fully appreciate the present moment.
- Walking and Wild Swimming
For a truly refreshing and adventurous team outing, consider a walking and wild swimming event. This option features a scenic guided walk, followed by a wild swim with beautiful views. It’s an energising way to connect with nature and provides a memorable experience for the team.
- Hiking, Yoga, and Sound Baths
This event is designed for both physical challenge and deep relaxation. It combines a scenic hike with mindfulness activities like yoga and sound baths. It’s a comprehensive approach to wellbeing that allows your team to be active and then completely unwind.
- Walking and Brewery Tour
Blend physical activity with a social reward. This event includes a guided walk through a scenic area, culminating in a stop at a local craft brewery. It’s a great way to encourage teamwork while also providing a fun, shared experience with food and drink.
- Foraging Walks
We take you outside into the country to enjoy the scenery, but if you look closely there are so many hidden gems like edible plants growing right underfoot. At Wellbeing Walks we’re thrilled to announce a brand new experience – guided walks with a focus on foraging!
Partnering with an expert forager, we’ll be offering walks that combine the well-being benefits of spending time in nature with the fascinating world of wild food. Our knowledgeable guide will lead you through scenic paths, pointing out edible plants, sharing their unique characteristics, and explaining the best ways to harvest them sustainably.
