Wellness Wednesday

Wellness Wednesday is an idea to improve work-life by scheduling some quality time with your work colleagues every Wednesday.

Inspiration

Knowing that positive work culture is essential to long-term business success, companies more and more often implement Booster Breaks, also known as Wellness Wednesdays. It's usually a short break from work, designed to support wellness within an organization, improve employee health and increase productivity. But team building at work can be tricky, especially nowadays when people work remotely or socially distance. At the moment, there is no tool to help find these activities quickly. The process often involves reading articles for hours to finally realize that none of the 50 games described will work in your team.

What it does

Wellness Wednesday lets you quickly find a fun, team bonding activity for your work team. No more time-consuming scrolling in search of this one socially distant 15-minute game. In Wellness Wednesday, you can specify time constraints, needed supply and the character of a game. Mindfulness, Team Bonding or... Creativity? Or maybe you want to do something special for the upcoming Thanksgiving? You can also search by name or description.

How I built it

The application was built using Node.js, Express, MongoDB, JavaSciprt, JQuery, HTML, CSS and Bootstrap. Wellness Wednesday makes use of Microsoft Azure CosmosDB for MongoDB, Web App, Static Web App and Application Insight.

What's next for Wellness Wednesday

The project can be developed further by developing the database and providing helpful materials and instructive videos. Wellness Wednesday could provide a safe space for employees to chat, share pictures and tips that get them through challenging times. In the future, employees could give scores to activities and organizations could keep track of what they have already done, what they want to do next week and activities that don't match their company culture. The application makes use of Microsoft Azure Static Web App, Web App, Cosmos Database and Application Insight.
