A Response to Today’s Well-Being and Social Solidarity Challenges
Mental health issues, loneliness, and individualism are growing concerns for the modern workforce. Recent studies reveal that 60% of employees feel isolated at work, and nearly 50% experience chronic stress. Furthermore, a 30% decline in professional community belonging over recent years has directly impacted motivation and productivity. With mental health problems accounting for 40% of workplace absences, it’s clear that concrete action is needed.
The Marathon at Work: 2025 Health Challenge addresses these issues by introducing a holistic approach to transform work environments and restore human connections.
Well-Being at Work: A Strategic, Human, and Societal Lever
Did you know that 75% of employees consider well-being at work essential for their engagement, yet fewer than 30% of companies have implemented wellness programs? This imbalance highlights an urgent need for change.
To bridge this gap, the Ring of Light Foundation (a non-profit dedicated to collective well-being) is launching the 30 days Challenge, designed to guide employees build healthy habits at work to improve physical and mental health.
This initiative isn’t just about work—it’s a call to reimagine how we live, connect, and thrive as a community.
Why Join the 2025 Health Challenge?
Workplaces can be more than just spaces for productivity—they can become hubs for collaboration, personal growth, and belonging. With rising mental health struggles, and workplace isolation, there’s an urgent need to rebuild a sense of community at work.
By participating in the challenge, your organization becomes a driver of social change, empowering employees and contributing to a movement that:
Combats isolation by fostering social connections.
Promotes mental health and well-being through collective practices.
Recreates authentic human bonds that transcend office walls.
How the Challenge Works
Over the course of 30 days, participating companies and their collaborators will be guided to adopt new healthy habits each day such as :
Mindful Breaks.
Short Physical Activities.
Phone-Free Days.
Progressive Digital Detox.
These proven, science-based strategies aren’t just about individual health—they create a ripple effect, building healthier, more cohesive, and productive workplaces.
Beyond the Workplace: A Broader Societal Impact
Joining the 2025 Health Challenge goes beyond improving your organization—it’s about joining a collective movement for wellbeing. By cultivating sustainable habits, your employees will inspire their families and communities for positive small changes, building a foundation for healthier, more connected living.
