Summer wellness : 3 tips for your teams

As summer sets in, the heat rises, the pace slows… and with it, the first signs of fatigue appear. With inefficient air-conditioning, grueling commutes and difficulty staying focused, the work environment becomes more demanding.

At RelaxInc, we’re convinced that summer is the perfect time to reinvent your daily work routine, take care of your employees and reinforce your corporate culture.

Here are 3 concrete strategies for transforming this period into a real ground for commitment and shared well-being :

1. Encourage summer wellness breaks

In summer, the body and mind tire more quickly. The first thing to do is to create wellness breaks that are easy to integrate into the work rhythm :

Incorporate wellness accessories into the day : a spray bottle, refreshing towel or fan.
Offer relaxing breaks : meditation sessions, lunchtime yoga, micro-naps, breathing exercises or express self-massages… short but effective moments to release the pressure.
Offer a fresh, hydrating diet : fresh fruit and vegetables, home-brewed waters… a combination of pleasure, freshness and vitality.

2. Creating links and maintaining commitment

Summer can leave an organization feeling a little unsettled. Some employees leave on vacation, others stay behind, and team dynamics can falter. And yet, this is precisely the right time to strengthen the sense of belonging.

Organize moments of conviviality : a fresh lunch on the terrace, an urban picnic in the shade, an afterwork in the park.
Showcase in-house initiatives : highlight employees who come up with in-house ideas for well-being (relaxation playlists, anti-heat tips, etc.). Sharing these ideas creates a positive dynamic within teams. To prolong this energy, offer collaborative challenges like our Step Challenge, accessible via our app. A gentle, friendly activity that invites everyone to move at their own pace.

3. Adapt the working environment

The working environment plays a key role in preserving the well-being and productivity of your employees, especially in hot weather.

Optimize air quality : Ensure a good ventilation or air-conditioning system. Install blackout blinds or curtains to limit heat and direct light.
Set up rest areas : with a subdued ambience, equipped with micro-nap chairs and essential oil diffusers, to offer your teams a real refuge in which to recharge their batteries.

Conclusion :

Summer should not be a period to be endured, but an opportunity to be seized to rethink the employee experience. By integrating these simple strategies: wellness breaks, enhanced conviviality, adapted spaces. You create an environment where your teams can remain healthy and efficient, despite the heat.

At RelaxInc, we’re here to support you in this process, and help you deploy tailor-made solutions to make the summer a time for cohesion.
