Tips to Remain Focused and Engaged
Here at WellnessIQ we are always thinking of you as our partner, but particularly now during this time of distress. There is a lot of circulating information about COVID-19, and this is just one more way to extend a helping hand to our clients and employees for support, security and motivation during this disruption. While multitasking and burnout are common themes among the workforce today, they seem to take on a whole new meaning during this surreal time. The health and wellbeing of our clients and their employees’ remains a priority, as does helping employees navigate uncertainties that may create an underlying feeling of insecurity and stress. Managing these stressful events within our daily activities is essential to the maintenance of the business. 

Below is a handful of tips to help our employees remain focused, engaged and aligned with the values of your organization. 



Team Tips  

  1. Show & Tell – Schedule regular conference calls with video to show off your current situation, as crazy as it may be! Pets, kids, a cool office space or even your favorite pajama pants! Embrace this unique situation by getting to know a new side of your teammates and taking a few minutes to laugh together. 
  2. Virtual Lunch and Learn – Replace lunch meetings with meal delivery services such as Grub hub, DoorDash or Uber Eats. Interested in pairing this with a WellnessIQ lunch and learn? Let us know here!
  3. Participate in a team or company-wide challenge – Company-wide challenges can foster camaraderie and awareness and help employees focus on daily goals and tasks to support their health and happiness. Whether you band together to donate to a greater cause, or do an at-home workout to keep yourself (and team) accountable, connecting people across your organization through wellbeing challenges gives them the opportunity to take action together and continue the focus on people, culture and values.
