Workplace wellness toolkit

Building an inclusive & healthy culture

There are many factors that impact a healthy workplace culture. From co-worker and manager relationships, to physical spaces and policies, Dean Health Plan is here to help.

A preview of things you’ll find in the toolkit:

Wellness & Mental Health

• Wellness resource assessment: A review of all the wellness programs currently available to you as an employer and those available for your insured and non-insured employees; including strategic planning and wellness committee assistance if desired.
• Building a psychologically safe workplace: Take time to understand what a psychologically safe workspace means, how it can help your organization thrive, and tangible actions you can begin to implement to see effective results.
• Simple wellness activities: This activity listing will give you new and fun ideas of simple and effective things to implement.

Team Building Activities

• Trivia: Materials prepared with topics and answers ready for you to facilitate.
• Escape room: Test your team’s ability to work together, communicate and have fun in this real-life game. “Locked” in a room, your team will have to solve a series of puzzles in order to escape in the allotted time (25 minutes). Select the beginner or advanced version and contact us for a time to facilitate, or we’re happy to mail the kit with the facilitation guide. 
• Other ideas: Scavenger hunt, employee cookbook, talent show, themed virtual backgrounds, social hours, nature walks, movie night, potlucks, adopt a highway, or volunteer as a team.

Diversity, equity & inclusion

• Traditions trivia: A jeopardy-like game highlighting celebrations across different cultures: Indian, Jewish, American, Kwanzaa, and Yule to name a few.
• Educational articles: Share our pre-written articles on various observances.
• Sample diversity, equity and inclusion charter: Use our template as a foundation to create your own.
• Q&A sample questions: Employee interview or panels on different populations (Ex. citizenship, LGBTQ+, indigenous people).

Policies and survey examples

Sample policies available for a tobacco-free workplace, volunteering on work time, or provided time for mental and physical health. We also have a number of surveys available for program evaluation.
