Four pillars of health

The four pillars of health are physical, mental, social, and financial, which are essential to employee well-being and creating a thriving workforce.

Physical health plays a key role in productivity, as employees who maintain an active lifestyle tend to miss fewer days of work. Encouraging physical activity can boost employee engagement and overall well-being.

Mental health also remains a critical area of focus, as stress and anxiety continue to affect many Canadians, leading to burnout and decreased motivation. Prioritizing mental health in the workplace can enhance attraction and retention strategies.

Social health is also crucial in building a strong sense of community and fostering social connections within the workplace. Having friends at the workplace increases job satisfaction, and helps combat loneliness, which research shows can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Finally, financial health has become a significant source of stress for many employees, making it essential for employers to offer financial learning resources, budgeting tools, and benefits to support their workforce’s financial well-being.

By focusing on these four pillars, companies can create a healthier, more engaging, and more inclusive environment for their employees.

Each month

Overall monthly theme

As you navigate our 2025 Health and Wellness Roadmap, you’ll notice that each month is dedicated to a specific theme. For example, March is recognized as Nutrition Month, focusing on the importance of healthy eating habits. Each theme will be accompanied by a section that explains its significance and the reasons behind its inclusion. Additionally, some months will feature multiple themes. For instance, March also highlights Brain Health Awareness Month, and Women’s History Month. This approach ensures a comprehensive and engaging journey through various aspects of health and wellness throughout the year.

Health and wellness dates

Our health and wellness calendar is packed with important dates designed to motivate and engage your employees throughout the year. Each month presents unique events and days that align with various pillars of wellness, offering numerous opportunities to engage and motivate your employees.

Depending on the specific focus of each month, certain days are particularly suited to highlight different aspects of health and wellness. For instance, some months might emphasize physical fitness with activities like group workouts or wellness challenges, while others might focus on mental health with workshops and mindfulness sessions. By leveraging these key dates and themes, you can create a dynamic and supportive environment that encourages your employees to prioritize their well-being throughout the entire year.

Icons

Our 2025 Health and Wellness Roadmap features a set of unique icons representing the four pillars of wellness: physical, mental, social, and financial. Each icon will be clearly displayed on the calendar, making it easy to identify the focus of wellness activities for each month or day. To ensure everyone understands the meaning behind each icon, we will include a key that explains what each symbol represents. This way, employers can quickly see which aspects of employee well-being are being highlighted and how it can benefit their employees.

Whether it’s a day dedicated to physical fitness, a month focused on mental health, or activities aimed at boosting social connections and financial well-being, these icons will guide your employees in prioritizing their health and wellness throughout the year.

Extra resources

We offer a variety of extra resources to support your employees’ happiness and health throughout 2025. Each month, we provide specific resources tailored to the theme of the month. For example, in August, the theme is skin care, and we offer resources on how to check for skin cancer. In May, the focus is on mental health and stress management, with additional resources on ways to handle stress effectively. These resources are designed to provide practical support and guidance, helping to prioritize employee well-being in all aspects of their lives. Our commitment is to ensure that everyone has the tools they need to thrive both personally and professionally in the coming year.

Conclusion

We hope our 2025 Health and Wellness Roadmap, along with the additional resources, will inspire and support your employees throughout 2025. By focusing on different pillars of wellness each month and providing practical tools and guidance, we aim to create a healthier, happier, and more productive workplace. Let’s make 2025 a year of well-being and success for everyone!
