Frequently Asked Questions

The committee has received some questions about the Challenge, so here is some information below that might clear up confusion. Please add questions in the comments or by e-mail if you need more information.

Q: What is a “shared activity”?

A: A shared activity is one of the suggested activities we post to the blog. It is shared in the sense that we expect all staff to try one or two of the activities we suggest. You do not have to do the activity with anyone else. However, you may want to share your experience with others, in order to pick up advice or tips, or just to commiserate!

Q: What is a “personal activity”?

A: This is an activity related to the Round’s theme that you come up with on your own. It may be related to your specific health or living situation.

Q: You list a LOT of activities! Do I have to do all of them?

A: No. We ask that you try at least two of them per round. That could be two shared activities, one shared and one personal activity, or two personal activities. You decide.

Q: What is a Team Leader?

A: A Team Leader is a staff member at your branch or location who is helping the committee track your progress with the challenge. At the end of each round, you should let your Team Leader know what activities you did. You can do this several ways. If you have a blog, write a post at the end of each Round. If you do not have a blog, send an e-mail message to your Team Leader reporting what you did. Also, each Team Leader gets a tally sheet at the beginning of each round. You can print this out, write down your activities, and share a copy at the end of each Round with your Team Leader. All of these methods will be kept confidential and need only be shared with your Team Leaders.

We are still working out a procedure for how the Team Leaders will report to the committee.

Team Leaders are also our cheerleaders. They are there to offer support and encouragement.

Q: Our branch/location does not have a Team Leader! What do we do?

A: Volunteer! It really won’t take up much time! If you really want to give the Health& Wellness Challenge your all, it helps to have your co-workers involved.

Q: Is is too late to join?

A: It’s never too late! If you still want to join, send an email to oclwellness@gmail.com
