HUSK Introduces Custom Wellness Challenge Platform to Enhance Workplace Health Culture

HUSK, one of the nation's leading multi-solution wellness technology companies, has announced the introduction of HUSK Challenge, a custom wellness challenge platform designed to motivate employees to make healthier choices and connect with their teams. This development comes as company leaders and human resource managers increasingly recognize the evolving needs of their workforce, with employee wellbeing becoming synonymous with organizational wellbeing.

Erin Markowski, HUSK President & COO, emphasized the shifting priorities in workplace benefits. Employers are reprioritizing the benefits they offer and seeking a more holistic wellness approach. HUSK Challenge addresses that need by providing an easy-to-launch platform that helps create a true wellness culture – one that fosters an inclusive, collaborative environment and inspires healthy behavior. This combination positively impacts employee satisfaction, retention, and the bottom line.

The platform offers physical activity, mindfulness, and nutrition challenges, featuring a leaderboard that encourages participation and connects remote, hybrid, and in-person teams through friendly competition. Administration and support are provided by HUSK for turnkey implementation, making it accessible for organizations of various sizes and structures.

Key features include custom challenges for well-being, physical activity, mindfulness and nutrition, diverse movement challenges tailored to every employee's preferred way to move, activity logging to track healthy living activities and earn points, and a real-time leaderboard. The platform also includes newsfeed and team chats that foster connection, ability to sync with top fitness devices, compatibility with Apple Health and Google Fit, and reporting tools that provide insights to measure participation and evaluate the program's impact.

Markowski concluded that workplace wellness goes beyond encouraging movement or tracking steps; it's about ensuring that employees thrive. HUSK Challenge gives employers the ability to encourage collaborative wellness, helping employees live healthier lives while building a sustainable, high-performing workplace culture with higher productivity, lower absenteeism, and reduced turnover.
