Prioritizing Wellness at Skedulo

This past year, Skedulo has experienced enormous growth and our people have worked exceptionally hard to deliver for our customers while completing huge undertakings such as our vaccination scheduling projects. 

We’re very aware of our team’s efforts. Because of this, we decided to make space and talk about stress, wellbeing, and burnout –  head on.  

What Wellness Week looks like at Skedulo

Each day of Wellness Week had its own theme, from Mindful Monday to Feel Good Friday. Teams had the opportunity to participate in a wellness challenge, and share their thoughts and ideas about Wellness on our Wellness Community Board. Activities included meditation and breathwork workshops, yoga classes, high intensity interval training classes, learning about our Employee Assistance Program, and more. 

Activities were linked to the theme of the day. For example, on Toolkit Tuesday we distributed our wellness handout which addressed different areas of wellness with useful tools and insights. On Workout Wednesday, we ran exercise classes, and encouraged participation in our wellness challenge where the first prize was a Fitbit with premium subscription access. On Friday we had a “no internal meetings day” to encourage everyone to go for a team/individual walk while reflecting on our week of wellness. 

Health and Resilience Expert, Dr. Susan Biali Haas, kicked off the week as our keynote speaker. She spoke about mental health, understanding burnout, and how to manage stress. Her talk was very impactful and resonated with so many people, and her practical takeaways will definitely make a difference as we all go about our day to day.
