Wellbeing Calendar 2026

Physical health awareness days

Physical health awareness days are a great opportunity to educate, encourage prevention, and signpost support. They can help employees feel more confident managing their health and seeking help early.

Things to consider:

• Look at the make-up of your workforce.
• Different groups may face different health risks or barriers to care.
• Focus on awareness, not pressure.

• Encourage healthy behaviours without making assumptions or singling people out.
• Use awareness days to highlight adjustments, flexibility, and workplace support – not just symptoms or diagnoses.
• Reinforce messages throughout the year, not just on the day itself.

Examples include promoting routine health checks, sharing guidance on managing long-term conditions at work, or reminding staff how to access occupational health support.

Make awareness meaningful

Awareness days are most effective when they:

• Are relevant to your workforce
• Are backed up by real support

• Encourage open, respectful conversations
• Form part of a wider wellbeing approach, rather than a one-off activity

This calendar can help you create a healthier, more engaged workplace where wellbeing is part of how you work all year round.
