As the days grow longer and the weather warms, there’s no better time to get our team focused on health and wellbeing. This spring, VAE is excited to launch our Spring into Spring campaign for all employees, bringing together a series of activities designed to keep us all moving, fuelled with healthy choices, and mindful of our mental health. Through Move, Munch, and Mind, our teams across Australia and New Zealand are encouraged to take small but powerful steps towards healthier lifestyles … together.
Spring is all about getting active, and what better way to kick things off than with Steptember? Teams are challenged to hit their step goals, turning everyday walking into a fun and motivating competition. Whether it’s walking meetings, lunchtime strolls, or weekend adventures, the focus is on moving more and building momentum as a team.
Eating well is a big part of feeling good. Throughout the campaign, each VAE branch will receive healthy treat deliveries to share and enjoy — a reminder that nutritious food can be both delicious and energising. We’ll also highlight some of the great options available through our employee benefits platform in the Wellbeing and Sports & Leisure categories, giving everyone access to discounts that support healthier lifestyle choices.
A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body. As part of this campaign, VAE will host branch activities for R U OK? Day, continuing to foster a safe and supportive space, and raising awareness to connect and check in with one another. This initiative reinforces that mental health matters, and a simple conversation can make a real difference.
From step challenges to healthy snacks, discounts on wellbeing activities, and meaningful conversations, Spring into Spring is about more than seasonal change — it’s about building lasting habits that support our teams year-round. With plenty of activities and surprises along the way, this campaign is a chance for every one of us to get involved, have some fun, and support each other in leading healthier, happier lives.
