At Sain, we put great emphasis on employee well-being and work-life balance. “Swellness” is our employee wellness program that promotes a healthy lifestyle and encourages some friendly competition in our office! This year’s Swellness Program introduced a wider range of engaging activities and incentives. The program took on a fresh approach by incorporating a Bingo Tracker as a fun way to gamify the wellness experience.
Participants were provided with a Bingo card featuring a variety of health-focused activities. By engaging in these activities and marking them off on the Bingo card, employees could achieve BINGOs and earn cashback rewards. This approach not only fostered a competitive spirit in the office but also motivated individuals to explore different aspects of wellness.
Some Notable Activities Included:
- Mindful March: March brought a focus on mental health and mindfulness. Participants engaged in activities that encouraged meditation, stress-relief techniques, and mindfulness practices, contributing to a healthier mindset and emotional well-being.
- April Activity Challenge: This challenge energized participants to complete a short fitness routine with modifications to meet their fitness needs. We were encouraged to embrace diverse exercises and be physically active throughout the month.
- Walktober: A beloved annual challenge at Sain, Walktober encourages group bonding and enthusiastic participation in walking challenges, which enhances our daily step count and overall fitness.
- Visiting Lunch & Learn Speakers: Sain organized informative sessions featuring health professionals and wellness experts. These lunchtime events provided valuable insights, tips, and advice on different aspects of well-being.
- Self-led Challenges: These challenges allowed individuals to set their own wellness goals. Whether it was maintaining a balanced diet, regular hydration, or achieving a set number of hours of quality sleep, employees were empowered to tailor their health journeys according to their preferences.

The “Swellness” program at Sain encourages a holistic approach to well-being, acknowledging the interconnectedness of different facets of health.
