July 11, 2024

Offices are the perfect breeding ground for overwhelming stress, leading to a dip in morale and productivity. As an HR professional or corporate event planner, you hold a unique position in helping to address stress head-on. Adding an element of wellness can be a game-changer for your event, fostering a positive atmosphere, creating space to connect, and boosting morale. We’ve compiled a helpful guide for planning a corporate stress management event that suits your team’s personalized pain points. Create a memorable and impactful event that not only engages your audience but also transforms workplace stress into serenity. Here are some steps to get you started.

More Than Just a Luxury

Before planning your event, identify the specific goals you want to achieve. Knowing your objectives will help you design an event that meets your needs.
Here are some examples of common goals, but don’t be afraid to customize these to fit your team best.

Choose the Right Activities

Now that you have a goal in mind, it’s time to pick your activity. Consider asking your team which activities sound the most appealing to them to make sure you find the one that resonates most. We’ve compiled a list of the top three most popular stress management activities.

Meditation Sessions

Meditation can help people find a moment of calm in the chaos. Professional meditation instructors can guide your team through mindfulness exercises to help center your team. This service is easily adaptable for both onsite and virtual environments, making it an easy and helpful addition to your team’s routines.

Yoga Classes

Yoga combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to help reduce stress and improve overall well-being. A corporate yoga activity allows people to unwind and feel a strong sense of connection with their team. A good yoga instructor can easily offer modifications to ensure every person feels comfortable participating.

Corporate Chair Massages

Corporate chair massages are always a crowd favorite. It is a quick, convenient, and highly effective way to promote relaxation and relieve tension. Employees can enjoy a relaxing massage without leaving the office, helping them recharge and return to work feeling refreshed.
