With summer right around the corner, Well Wisconsin is providing employers with the latest resources and activities to promote in June. Activities include the Five to Thrive fruit and veggies challenge, a cool crunch for those warm summer months, and the June inclusiveness calendar activities. Please consider adding these activities to your upcoming communications.
Five to Thrive Challenge
Employees and spouses enrolled in the State of Wisconsin Group Health Insurance Program can discover the benefits of munching on fruits and veggies during this four-week challenge, starting July 11. Tracking fruits and veggies also counts as a well-being activity which will help employees earn the $150 incentive. Please promote this challenge by sharing the Five to Thrive Challenge handout with employees in June and July. Registration opens June 20.
Kindness at Work Reminder: Inclusiveness
For the month of June, Random Acts of Kindness encourages everyone to focus on inclusiveness. They say, “Intentional changes toward creating a more inclusive workplace can lead to powerful cultural shifts in organizations: It creates a safe space so everyone can bring their whole self to work, no longer needing to censor or hide parts of themselves. This leads to greater productivity, creativity, and connection with colleagues and your organizational purpose." —Inclusion Consultant Gina Battye
Employees who participate in at least 21 kindness, self-compassion or well-being activities from the calendar can complete a short survey to receive an employer-sponsored activity code to count toward their well-being activity incentive credit. Share the Kindness at Work handout and/or print out and distribute these Kindness Cards to spread kindness.

Kindness Quote of the Month: “We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.” - Robert Fulghum
