As we step into May, we're excited to provide you with a wealth of resources and insights.

However, this month presents a special chance to prioritise the well-being of your remote team. May is ‘Global Employee Health & Fitness Month’, dedicated to promoting health and wellness within your team! It's a reminder that our greatest asset is our people, and their well-being should always be a top priority.

Throughout May (and beyond), there are numerous initiatives your team can embrace to support each other's well-being 👇

• Share healthy living tips 💬 Create a dedicated space on Slack for employees to share their favourite healthy living tips, recipes, or workout routines.

• Support physical activity 🏋️‍♀️ Provide resources or allowances for exercise classes or subscriptions to fitness apps, promoting physical activity from home.

• Organise a virtual fitness challenge 🏃‍♂️ Organise a 5k walk or run challenge where team members track their progress via Strava.

Make a point to prioritise your team's health and well-being this month. When we put our people first, we help them thrive in both their work and personal lives.
