Wellbeing boards for your workplace

Following is a simple idea for building wellbeing at work.  The idea involves creating a space for a “board” and then rotating the “subject” of the board on a monthly basis in order to keep the board fresh and novel.  Everyone is encouraged to participate, but it is certainly not mandatory; input may be as often as desired.

The board subjects might include:

  • Success – that is, what are the successes – small or large – that you/we/I have experienced
  • Gratitude – what are you/we/I grateful for
  • Good Things – what are 3 good things that have happened to you/us/me
  • Appreciation – that is, this is what I appreciate about you/this team/what you have done/what I have done
  • “Surprise/Gift” - everyone has an envelop with their name on the board and others are encouraged to include “gifts/surprises” for that person… this can be playful and/or serious
  • Wellbeing Ideas – that is, everyone is encouraged to share their ideas of what they do to maintain/improve their own wellbeing
  • Ideas for more boards – that is, everyone is encouraged to come up with their own ideas for board subjects

The idea of having wellbeing boards comes from a number of people - thank you.
