How to Mark World Wellbeing Week in the Workplace
World Wellbeing Week 2025 takes place from 23rd to the 27th June 2025, and is a key calendar event for organisations looking to support employee wellbeing in meaningful ways.
This annual event provides a timely opportunity for HR Managers and Learning & Development leaders to reflect on how wellbeing is promoted across their workplace — and to take real action.
If you’re planning to mark Wellbeing Week, here are five impactful and engaging ideas tailored for the modern workplace:
Host a Free Wellbeing Webinar
Financial worries are one of the biggest sources of stress among UK employees.
As part of World Wellbeing Week, Planned Future is offering a free financial wellbeing webinar for HR Managers/People Teams that focuses on ways to improve the wellbeing of their workforce.
This free session is a great way to get invested in the long-term wellbeing of your team. Register for your FREE place here.

- Thursday 26th June
- 12:30 - 13:00
- Microsoft teams

Run a Mindfulness or Meditation Session
A short guided meditation session can make a huge difference in workplace stress levels.
Consider bringing in a local practitioner, offering a live virtual session, or using apps like Headspace or Calm to facilitate guided practices throughout the week.
Launch a Wellbeing Challenge
Encourage participation with a workplace wellbeing challenge. This could include steps-per-day competitions, hydration goals, gratitude journaling, or mental health bingo.

Challenges create a sense of community and can highlight the importance of healthy daily habits.
Provide Mental Health Support Signposting
Ensure your employees know where to turn for mental health support. During Wellbeing Week, refresh your intranet with clear guidance on internal wellbeing policies, EAPs, and trusted services like Mind or the NHS Mental Health Hub.
Hosting a short Q&A or a “lunch and learn” can help raise awareness.
You could also ensure there is a Mental Health Champion in the workplace. Find out more about Planned Futures Mental Wellbeing workshops and training here.
Offer Flexibility and Downtime
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your team during Wellbeing Week is to simply give them a breather.
Consider offering extended breaks, early finishes, or optional meeting-free days to help your employees recharge and reflect.
