10 simple tips for an energetic workplace during Vitality Week

That's why: 10 simple tips that you can already apply today for more energy, connection and job satisfaction.

1. Take a walk during a meeting

Why sit in the same conference room all the time? Put on your coat and go for a walk together. Your head is getting clearer, conversations are getting more open, and suddenly the best ideas come out.

2. Make water attractive

Place water carafes with fresh lemon, cucumber or mint in them everywhere. It smells good, looks inviting and before you know it, everyone is automatically drinking more. Sometimes it's that simple.

3. Start the day with energy check-ins

At the start of the day or week, ask: “What do you get energy from today?” It makes people aware of what motivates them and provides other inspiration. Plus: you get to know your colleagues better.

4. Create your own playlist

Create a team playlist together. Music connects and can suddenly transform a boring afternoon into a moment that gives you energy. And who knows, you might discover that your boss secretly loves hard rock.

5. Provide smart snacks

Replace the cookie jar with a fruit basket, prepare some nuts or cut some carrots. This way, you're more likely to reach for something healthy when you're hungry.

6. Mini break = maxi impact

Introduce a 2 minute break: stretch, breathe or act crazy — is surprisingly refreshing.

7. Alternate where you work

Sometimes standing at your laptop, sometimes on the couch in the lounge or swapping desks with a colleague. Variation not only prevents back pain, it also gives your brain new stimuli.

8. Claim your focus time

Give yourself and colleagues a period of time every day where you shouldn't be disturbed. Put your phone on silent, put on your headphones, and dive into your tasks. Your productivity skyrockets and so does your mood.

9. Let people choose for themselves

Offer a list of energy boosters that everyone can choose from: a yoga class, a coaching session, a workshop, or something else. People know best what they need, and that ownership makes it extra valuable.

10. Surprise each other with little gifts

Leave a note on someone's desk with a compliment, bring unexpected coffee for a colleague, or hang a funny photo in the cafeteria. These small gestures provide connection and warmth.

Why does this work?

Vitality occurs when people genuinely pay attention to each other. It's not about expensive programs or complicated interventions, but about the conviction that people make the difference themselves. That's what Energy Up believes in.

A vital workplace is not created by one week of activities, but by small, daily choices that show that you have an eye for yourself and your colleague.
