Employee Fitness Challenge – Strive to Thrive

Weekly words of wellness

"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."

- Mary Pickford

What Moves You? Movement Challenge

This September, we're kicking off the fall semester with the Strive to Thrive Movement Challenge.

The challenge encourages employees to find ways to move that work for their lifestyle, interests, and abilities. Whether it's walking across campus, cycling to work, attending a recreation program, hiking, stretching between meetings, gardening, dancing, or playing with your kids, every movement counts.

Our Goal This Year

Be Inclusive

  • Wellbeing looks different for everyone. We aim to create opportunities that are welcoming, accessible, and supportive for all employees.

Small Changes Matter

  • Simple daily actions can lead to meaningful improvements in physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

Lead From Within

  • Positive workplace cultures are built one person at a time. By prioritizing our own wellbeing, we help create healthier workplaces for everyone.

Stay tuned for challenge details, participation opportunities, and prize draws throughout the semester.

If you are already a member, there is no need for you to register again – your membership will continue, but if you’re not, don’t delay – find out how to register and earn great incentive prizes along your journey to wellness.
