Protect your team’s energy.
End the year strong.

Small Acts, Big Impact – Thrive Together!

Why it Works

The final stretch of the year brings pressure, low energy, and rising sick days. This challenge provides structure, motivation, and meaning when your team needs it most.

  • Reduces burnout, stress, and seasonal illness

  • Boosts morale, focus, and productivity

  • Fuels team connection through a common goal

  • Aligns with CSR and company values

What the Research Shows:

  • 28% fewer sick days with strong wellness programs (Deloitte)

  • A 10-minute movement break boosts energy by 15% (University of Georgia)

  • $1 spent on wellness returns $4–$6 in productivity (Harvard Business Review)

  • Teams with high well-being see 21% higher profitability (Gallup)

Well-being That Gives Back

The We Care Challenge isn’t just about feeling better. It’s about making a difference—together.

As your team completes daily wellness actions, they collect points and work toward a shared goal. When your organization hits the target, a donation is made to the charity of your choice.

Every stretch, step, sip of water, or moment of mindfulness contributes to something bigger:

🤝 Align with your company values
🏙️ Give back to your community
👥 Strengthen your greatest asset—your people
🎯 Celebrate a team win that truly matters

When energy dips and pressure builds,
your team deserves real support.

Shorter days. Heavier workloads. Cold season. End-of-year pressure. It’s no surprise that November is when stress peaks, productivity dips, and burnout starts to show.

The good news?

The We Care Challenge is here to help!

A 4-week, company-wide experience that supports your employees’ mental and physical health—while raising money for a meaningful cause.

Because your people deserve to end the year feeling strong,
not stretched thin.

How it Works:

This 28-day challenge brings your team together around a shared goal of well-being and giving back.

Each day, employees complete simple wellness actions - like joining a live movement break, choosing a habit from the Mind-Body Bonus card, or going for a walk. Each action earns points, bringing your team closer to a company-specific participation goal to be reached by Day 28.

Progress is tracked in real time on your private leaderboard. As each day builds momentum, your team works together to reach the goal by the end of the 28 days.

When the target is hit, a donation is made to a charity of your choice.

It’s simple, meaningful, and effective:

  • Employees feel better, more focused, and connected

  • Leaders see stronger culture, energy, and engagement

  • Your organization gives back to a cause that matters

A win for your people, your culture, and your community.

What’s Included

A fully supported program with everything your team needs to participate and everything your leaders need to launch and manage with ease.

“This past challenge, I went in with little expectations. I have been a part of other, non-9toThrive, challenges and never saw the results I was told I would see. 9toThrive delivers its challenges in a way that anyone at any stage in their health journey can reach goals. Each challenge is never based on one particular goal in mind, but rather the ability to be flexible and personalize the challenge. One Wednesday Wellness that will forever stick with me was sent out just before Thanksgiving weekend. It talked about swapping out guilt for gratitude. This style of positive self-talk and understanding that one choice doesn't depict your whole journey has really resonated with me. As the weeks went on, I found myself subconsciously making healthier choices. I ended up losing 15 pounds with 9toThrive in the past 3 months and am feeling the best I have in quite some time. I am excited to continue with these challenges and continue with the sessions. Thank you to you all for providing the space for me to learn, grow, and be a healthier me!”

Challenge Features

“The 9toThrive challenges allow me to enjoy the spirit and competitiveness of knowing that we are working towards a common goal for the better of our community.  Not only do I win, the charity work also wins by us staying true to ourselves.  When we challenge each other (teammates, colleagues) to join sessions together and do the best we can to make a bigger impact, it does not feel like a workout. Instead, it is so enjoyable and an extremely fun way to connect with others. I truly enjoy the sessions that I attend and appreciate each of the trainers' skillsets and enthusiasm. “

Exclusive Access to the 9toThrive Wellness Hub

A centralized hub offering expert-led resources, peer-to-peer support, and engaging content that reinforces the challenge’s impact and builds an ongoing wellness culture.

“From my perspective, I would say the challenge hit 3 key objectives:

1. You found a very credible cause (supporting kids) that GCP immediately bought into.

2. You quickly rallied GCP around that cause, and the team took the challenge very seriously in their normal competitive fun way

3. The platform chosen to collect running data from each participant was easy to use and informative.”

Real Results – What Participants Experience

  • “This was a fun activity to take part in as a group, the charity aspect was an added bonus and made taking part more meaningful.”

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “This was a great challenge. It made me take a break and get up and move around. By the end of the day, I wasn't so tired and I had less brain fog. I would definitely do this again.”

    -Participant, Salus Mutual Insurance

  • “I loved the challenge, but I especially work well with live, scheduled classes so I stayed accountable!”

     -Participant, HD Mutual Insurance Company

  • “In a nutshell, these challenges and workouts helped me create a great balance between my health and work; kudos to the 9tothrive team.” 

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “The challenges are always a fun way of getting us connected with co-workers, having a few laughs together, and advancing our fitness/health in a very positive environment.  While we tend to be very competitive in nature, I believe the challenges keep us engaged, provides positive reinforcement, and who doesn’t like a little bit of healthy bantering to keep us wanting to do better, achieve more.”

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “It's great to be at a workplace that values work and life balance.  By having wellness activities, it helps bring a kick start to the day and helped me get back into the groove of things, especially on a Monday, which can be challenging after the weekends.”

    -Participant, HD Mutual Insurance Company

  • “When our lives get busy with work, travel, family, etc., our exercise routines usually get rescheduled first. These 9toThrive challenges create time for the exercise and helpful strategies throughout the day.”

    -Participants, GCP Industrial Products

  • “After my weight loss journey over the past 7 months,  I can say a lot of the suggestions in the Mind Body Card are things that work. Eating right (both in terms of quantity and quality) makes a huge difference in weight loss, and after a few days of hunger/discomfort, the weight just started to fall off. Being active also led to better sleep habits, which in turn made things easier as well.”

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “Challenges like this always make me more aware of “me"  - I am the last one on my list to care for, but during these challenges, I do remind myself to eat healthy and am more aware of my physical activity.”

    -Participant, Caradoc Township Mutual insurance

  • “When I participate in Jumpstart, my day is always more productive, less stressful, and with fewer aches and pains. At one time, I thought I didn't have time for Jumpstart, and aches and pains started to bother me again. I started participating again, and I noticed the aches and pains were gone. I now make it a priority to join whenever I can, as I feel better and sleep better.”

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “It was motivation to keep up healthier habits (eating better, not eating after dinner,  less social media, etc). Working out/motivation hasn't ever been the issue for me. I learned that 10 minutes of movement  is better than nothing and accepted that it is okay. “

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “I learned so much from the 9toThrive challenge. I normally sit all day and am very stiff; this helped get me up and moving, and I loved seeing all the smiling faces.”

    -Participant, North Blenheim Mutual Insurance Company

  • “This time of year is always a bit challenging to get outside due to weather/darkness, and a generally busy time. Being in the challenge motivated me to be active on a few days I might have otherwise not. “

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “This was a fun way to get involved and be a part of something with my colleagues.  Having 28 days, it helped reset my brain and helped me just be more mindful of what I was doing. I think this was a great way to also give back to the community. I would do this again if we are doing it next year.”

    -Participant, HD Mutual Insurance Company

  • “The We Care Challenge offered me the opportunity to laugh, sweat, and engage with others I might not normally have the opportunity to do this with.  We had so much fun and all the while, we were improving our overall mental health, physical health, and general well-being.  The additional bonus: the connections we made with each other.  We laughed with each other, learned about each other, shared uplifting stories, and motivated each other to just keep showing up and doing our best.  We brought a little of ourselves into the challenge and took back so much more.  This community has really become family, and I'm so happy to be able to take advantage of the opportunities it provides me.  You are my sanity!” 

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “Thank you to the entire 9toThrive team! The We Care Challenge came at the right time for me, ahead of the holidays, and gave me the tools and motivation to make it easy to do small things each day that amounted to a big shift in my body and mind overall! Beyond this, the interactions and support with my teammates made it fun and boosted our connections along the way! Thank you again for such a fun month! I hope to participate again in future challenges.“

    -Participant, HD Mutual Insurance Company

  • “Participating in this challenge was super fun, but it also made me more aware of how small actions or activities can contribute to your overall health, from the time you wake up (glass of warm water) till you are preparing for bed (dim the lights). The challenge made focusing on those little things just as important as getting your steps or exercise in, reinforcing that mental health is as important as physical health. “

    -Participant, Farm Mutual Re

  • “The staff at 9toThrive are so friendly, personal, and willing to accommodate your needs/abilities in each session. They offer a variety of classes, and the morning classes - especially Morning Jumpstarts were an amazing way to get started every day! They definitely reduced my tension and reduced my stress and provided a fun way to connect with my coworkers as we participated in sessions together.”
