Week of Wellness ☀️Sunshine + Small Wins ☀️
Week of Wellness ☀️Sunshine + Small Wins ☀️
💙 Thank you for making this year's Sunshine + Small Wins Weeks of Wellness such a success! ☀️👟🌿✨
Thank you, Marco!
The first two weeks of June, employees across the company came together for our Sunshine + Small Wins Weeks of Wellness, embracing the idea that meaningful change often starts with simple, consistent actions.
Together, we moved our bodies during daily movement breaks, explored new ways to relax and recharge, participated in wellness challenges, completed 5Ks, played Small Wins Bingo, enjoyed healthy snacks, and connected with coworkers both in person and virtually. From office visits and group hikes to virtual programming, employees across the country found opportunities to prioritize their wellbeing and celebrate progress over perfection.
We were also inspired by two incredible keynote sessions. Bridget Lavin's "Rituals for Relaxation" shared practical strategies for reducing stress and building restorative habits, while Kate King's "Recharge + Restore: Creativity as a Wellness Tool" highlighted the powerful connection between creativity, resilience, and overall wellbeing.
One of the most meaningful parts of these two weeks was seeing employees come together. Whether on a hiking trail, in a conference room, or joining virtually from across the country, Marco team members showed that wellbeing is about more than healthy habits. It's about connection, community, and supporting one another along the way.
Thank you to everyone who participated, attended an event, completed a challenge, joined a keynote, or simply took a small step toward better health and wellbeing. Every small win counts, and together those small wins help build a healthier, stronger, and more connected Marco.
