CELEBRATE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH WITH MEANINGFUL TEAM WELLNESS
Mental Health Awareness Month is more than a calendar event—it’s a chance to prioritize your people. From mindfulness sessions to creative team experiences, we’re sharing ways to build a culture of care, support, and mental well-being at work.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a timely reminder that employee well-being encompasses more than just physical health. It involves fostering a workplace culture that supports mental health, encourages connection, and provides opportunities for rejuvenation.
At HOST Events, we believe fostering wellness can be engaging, meaningful, and even… fun. Whether your team operates remotely, in a hybrid model, or on-site, here are unique ways to support mental wellness while strengthening team bonds.
💡 The Business Case for Mental Health at Work
Companies that prioritize employee well-being don’t just boost morale—they perform better, too. Investing in employee mental health isn't just the right thing to do—it's a strategic imperative. Consider these stats:
🧠 76% of U.S. workers reported experiencing at least one symptom of a mental health condition in the past year. 84% of respondents said their workplace conditions had contributed to at least one mental health challenge. (ISHN)
🏥 Workplace stress costs U.S. employers up to $300 billion annually due to absenteeism, turnover, diminished productivity, and increased medical costs. (Columbia Business School)
📈 Companies with highly engaged employees outperform their competitors by 147% in earnings per share, highlighting the link between employee well-being and financial performance. (PeopleThriver)
These figures underscore that prioritizing mental health leads to more engaged, productive, and loyal employees, ultimately benefiting the company's bottom line. Offering meaningful wellness experiences shows employees they’re valued—resulting in stronger engagement, lower burnout, and greater loyalty.
HOST Events, Nurtured by Nature with Danielle Schulz of Triangle Sessions
🌿 Nurtured by Nature: Mindfulness Meets Plant Care
This calming experience blends guided mindfulness with hands-on plant care—think succulent arranging or bonsai trimming with a side of breathwork. It’s not just relaxing, it’s symbolic: nurturing living things can help us nurture ourselves.
Bonus: We ship kits directly to your team, and our facilitators walk them through a grounding, beautiful session. It's a low-stress, high-impact way to pause and connect.
🌍 Discover the World, One Deep Breath at a Time
Our virtual travel experiences offer more than just armchair sightseeing—they're immersive cultural journeys that emphasize reflection and presence. From meditative Japanese garden tours to serene coastal escapes, your team will log off feeling inspired and recharged.
One client said it best: "It felt like a vacation without needing PTO."
🤝 A Culture of Care is a Competitive Advantage
Prioritizing mental health isn't a fleeting trend—it's a strategic move. When companies create space for mindfulness, connection, and emotional support, teams thrive.
Whether you're building a culture of care or simply want to say “we see you” to your employees this May, a wellness event is a powerful (and joyful) way to start.
