Knock Out Wellness Challenges During Wellness Madness

Written by Becky Squiers | Mon, Mar 21, 2016

March madness is in full swing, and we’re hopping on the bandwagon.

Maybe you’re making money in an office bracket pool.

Maybe your bracket is already busted.

Or maybe you’re just getting back to work after that three day weekend you took to catch all the first round games.

No matter what the NCAA tournament has you feeling, we’ve got a brand new challenge you’re going to love!

We’ve put together a no-pressure, everyones-a-winner bracket challenge that is all about wellness. It’s going on now on our social media sites, and it will continue throughout the March Madness tournament.

Our Wellness Madness bracket puts your wellness program up against some of the most common wellness obstacles. Whether your program is new—or maybe you’re new to the program—or your company has been doing wellness for years, you will face challenges. It may be frustrating, but trust us, it’s normal.

The best way to overcome challenges is to be prepared. In employee wellness, there are some obstacles that pop up more often than others. It’s just the nature of the business. We thought we’d help you be prepared to overcome those common challenges just like Yale overcame Baylor for the first upset of this year’s madness.

So here’s what you need to do:
  1. Head on over to our Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profiles (be sure to give us a like/follow if you haven’t already).
  2. Check out the challenges for Rounds 1 & 2 that were posted last week.
  3. Give the game plan a try to keep pushing through to the next rounds.
  4. Check out new challenges at the beginning of each new round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
  5. Use #WellnessMadness to let us know how you’ve executed the game plans where you work!

If you’re not a basketball fan, and you’re not quite sure what all this madness is about, you can still check out the challenge on our social media pages. Here’s a quick schedule of when each new round will be posted.

Round 1 on Thursday, March 17
Round 2 on Saturday, March 19
Round 3 on Thursday, March 24
Round 4 on Saturday, March 26
Round 5 on Saturday, April 2
Round 6 on Monday, April 4

Best of luck with your Wellness Madness (and March Madness) brackets! Keep us posted on your progress in the comments below.
