Employee Health and Wellbeing recently wrapped up Slam Dunk Wellness, a virtual, team-based basketball themed challenge designed to help participants develop and reinforce healthy habits.

This six-week program encouraged participants to track healthy behaviors during the work day, including regular exercise, eating fruits and vegetables, taking breaks, stretching and making time for a healthy breakfast. Participants scored 1, 2, or 3 points for tracking their behaviors.

During the work week, teams squared off against a new opponent, earning points toward the ultimate goal of becoming tournament champion.
Employee Health and Wellbeing would like to acknowledge the winners of this exciting competition. In addition, nearly 100 participants will receive the MVP Certificate of Recognition in campus mail for tracking all 30 days of the workweek competition.
