Wellness Cheat Sheets for Wellness Coordinators

Practical tools to implement workplace wellbeing—without the overwhelm.

As a Wellness Coordinator, you’re expected to support staff wellbeing in meaningful ways—often with limited time and resources. This cheat sheet is designed to help you take action quickly, with specific, low-lift strategies you can implement straight away.

Each section focuses on a key area of impact, with clear, ready-to-use ideas that you can tick off as you go.

Plan Quick Wins

Short on time? These actions take less than 15 minutes to implement but create visible momentum.

☐ Schedule a 10-minute team stretch on Monday mornings
☐ Start a weekly “2-minute wellness tip” via Slack or email
☐ Add a one-question wellbeing check-in to your next team meeting agenda
☐ Book a 15-minute mobile massage or pamper pop-up during Friday lunch
☐ Create a recurring “Wellness Wednesday” calendar nudge for the team

Build a Self-Care Culture

Normalise wellbeing practices in the day-to-day, not just during campaigns or crisis points.

☐ Share a short meditation link or breathing exercise each week
☐ Place reminder cards in shared areas (e.g. “When did you last drink water?”)
☐ Print a hydration tracker for the kitchen or break area
☐ Set up a self-care tray: herbal teas, vitamin C sachets, hand cream
☐ Include a 15-minute wellbeing segment in a monthly team meeting

Promote Stress Relief

Help staff recognise and reset rising stress with small, accessible interventions.

☐ Add “pause + stretch” reminders to long meeting invites
☐ Provide calming tools at desks (e.g. pulse-point rollers, stress balls)
☐ Display a simple breathing or grounding exercise in high-traffic areas
☐ Allocate a small room or corner as a quiet zone with a simple booking system
☐ Include one mindfulness or nervous system tip in weekly internal comms

Boost Team Morale

Create a consistent sense of appreciation, connection and lightness in the workplace.

☐ Start a “pass the positivity” board where colleagues leave notes for each other
☐ Allow for anonymous team shout-outs to be shared during meetings
☐ Introduce a monthly “Wellbeing Champion” with a small reward or voucher
☐ Use quick gratitude prompts in newsletters or Slack
☐ Rotate a weekly “walk and chat” pairing to encourage informal connection
