Monthly focus
APRIL
Key theme: Stress Awareness Month
Help people spot stress early and get the right support. Remind employees about your Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), share short practical content (breathing exercises, quick manager tips, articles)
MAY
Key theme: Better Sleep Month
Encourage everyone to prioritise sleep as a core part of wellbeing. Share simple sleep-hygiene tips, promote any sleep apps or discounts you offer, and try small policy nudges (e.g. no late-night emails, a flexible start pilot) that support better rest.
JUNE
Key theme: Wellbeing Week
Make the most of June’s wellbeing momentum with a focused week of activity. Run daily themes (mind, body, finances, connection), practical sessions (mindfulness, movement, financial clinics) and signpost ongoing support like your EAP and wellbeing content.
