Spring Wellness Challenge Ideas That Actually Get Employees Outside

Spring is the easiest moment of the year to launch a spring wellness challenge - the weather does half the marketing for you. Research shows that 30 minutes of daily walking reduces heart disease risk by up to 35%, and spring's longer days remove one of the biggest barriers people cite for skipping movement. For HR teams and wellness coordinators, the next eight weeks are a window to capture that energy with something simple, inclusive, and genuinely fun.
