Happy Hour – Snap Fitness AU

This Mental Health Month, Snap Fitness is calling on businesses to shut down the boardroom, worksite or studio for one hour each day, so that employees can move their bodies and better their mental health.

Introducing… Happy Hour. An initiative calling on Australian businesses – big and small – to host a different kind of Happy Hour for their team. It’s an hour for employees to prioritise their mental health through movement.

Why host Happy Hour for your employees?

Fostering a workplace that prioritises physical and mental wellbeing doesn’t just help the individual. The benefits can be felt company wide.

By giving employees just one hour back a day, you could improve the wellbeing of the individual and the organisation significantly. So, for October, give them a Happy Hour and join the charge towards happier, healthier workplaces.

This Mental Health Month, we’ve teamed up with LIVIN to help the 1 in 5 Australians experiencing a mental illness. To reach our goal of $100,000 we need your help. Join us for Happy Hour, and we will donate $2 for every organisation that joins the movement. Let’s see if together, we can save just 1 of the 9 lives lost to suicide every day in Australia.

How do I get my business involved?

Step 1: Fill out the form above, and join the movement.

Step 2: Have a think about how you will implement the initiative within your organisation!

Will you offer the Happy Hour for the full month, or just a week?

Will you give employees an hour back in the morning, or an early mark to end their day?

Set it up as you like to suit the needs of your business!

Step 3: Use the initiative as an opportunity to fundraise within your organisation – host a private team workout, a breakfast, a team event!

Step 4: Spread the word! Use the downloadable PDFs below to inform your team and your wider business network, encouraging them to get involved.
