										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Wherever you look, across every industry, there seems to be a Web3-based alternative approach to it all. Naturally, when new tech arrives, so do new ideas of how to apply it. Web2 is old-school: “Give me your data, and I will give you… Ads.”</p>



<p>Anything with Web3 principles is thus enticing: “Give me your data, and I will give you… A better product. Oh, and you can also take your data with you and control how it’s used at any time.”</p>



<p>It’s no surprise, then, that the industries accumulating the most data are those best primed for Web3. Fitness is high up on that list.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>People Want More Fitness Data</strong></h2>



<p>A recent report confirmed that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wellnesscreatives.com/fitness-industry-statistics-growth/">people want more health data</a>. As much as possible, they emphasised. Almost 50% of respondents felt this way. The reasons for that are obvious. The more data that’s gathered, the better informed their fitness solutions could be. With Web3,&nbsp;<a href="https://puml.io/data-management-in-the-web3-powered-health-and-fitness-industry/">data can be securely</a>&nbsp;and seamlessly shared across different platforms to create a more holistic health-tracking system. All that data from all those sources makes up a comprehensive picture to help users optimise their lives. That is a huge business opportunity.</p>



<p>The online fitness industry is expected to grow at 33.1% CAGR from its pre-pandemic USD 6bn value. If the forecasts are right, this market will be worth $59bn come 2027. And that’s just the&nbsp;<em>online</em>&nbsp;fitness industry.&nbsp;<a href="https://globalwellnessinstitute.org/press-room/press-releases/physical-activity-billion-market/">Physical activity collectively</a>&nbsp;is predicted to reach USD 1.1.tn (trillion!) in commercial value by 2023. As of 2019, it was valued at USD 828bn.</p>



<p>Then there’s Web3. So far, none of these predictions factor in the Web3 segment of this sector. But move-to-earn, popular in both new Web2 and Web3 businesses, is set to boom. According to Yahoo Finance, move-to-earn fitness apps are expected to form a&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-move-earn-fitness-apps-144000846.html">market worth USD 1.2bn</a>&nbsp;by 2028.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Web3 Move-to-Earn Advantages</strong></h2>



<p>At PUML, we’re in a unique position bridging the Web2 and Web3 move-to-earn worlds. In Web2, we work with organisations to incentivise wellness in the workplace. And average consumers can get on board, too. In this iteration, users are incentivised to move through engaging, in-app gamification that pushes them toward their goals. When users reach their goals, they are rewarded. These rewards can be customised by the employer and withdrawn through the in-app marketplace.</p>



<p>With Web3, this same concept is expanded upon with infinite opportunities. At its core, the move-to-earn principle is the same. The goal is to motivate users to get active by offering rewards for reaching their goals. But we’re no longer limited by the Web2 style marketplace. The possibilities become endless.</p>



<p>Using a token-based rewards system, move-to-earn apps like ours can offer benefits beyond just cash rewards. This could include access to exclusive content or community privileges. In the Web3 world, we can&nbsp;<a href="https://puml.io/athletes/">partner with athletes</a>&nbsp;to create NFTs and design utilities that open new worlds with every purchase. Users can earn rewards which can be converted into crypto (<a href="https://pumlx.com/">PUMLx</a>, on our platform) and/or be used to purchase NFTs. Every reward adds another layer of interaction and engagement that makes users want to push further. Not only to earn more but to be a more active part of the community.</p>



<p>Fitness in Web3 takes all the sticky elements of a successful digital product — engagement, community and incentive — and amplifies it ad infinitum.</p>



<p><em>PUML Better Health, in both its Web2 and Web3 forms, powers better health. Our solutions reward users for taking care of themselves.</em></p>



<p>Check out our&nbsp;<a href="https://puml.io/">website here</a>&nbsp;to learn more about how PUML Better Health and&nbsp;<a href="https://pumlx.com/">PUMLx</a>&nbsp;are pioneering the Web3 fitness and wellness sectors.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p id="0c23">Employee engagement is crucial to sustaining a strong wellness program. Well-being at organisations is rapidly evolving since the pandemic eased about a year ago. Employers are beginning to evaluate their well-being offerings to see if they are moving the needle in regard to the health and well-being of their employees. Essentially, this involves understanding the shortcomings of traditional well-being programs and then reinventing them to meet employees’ different needs at different stages.</p>



<p id="bf45">Think of curating an effective wellness program as treating a patient successfully. Treating a patient for say, a chest infection, involves several steps from diagnostic procedures, including a simple physical exam to laboratory investigations and chest X-rays, to identifying the right antibiotic regimen for the patient. Similarly, providing the most effective wellness programs for your employees requires first investigating to understand what their real health and wellness challenges are and then providing solutions that work for them.</p>



<p id="e482">Many HR professionals whom we have spoken to shared that they had offered many well-being initiatives for their employees but they were not having the impact they had hoped for on the workforce.</p>



<p id="4871">Well-being takes a holistic approach. For many organisations, offering leadership training for managers, training and re-training of employees, recruiting more employees, improving communication channels in the workplace, and putting in measures to check burnout are the most urgent and most common solutions that employees need.</p>



<p id="63c3">In tackling these problems, leaders of the ogranisations need to ask tough questions and have difficult conversations.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p id="6045">What is our organizational culture?</p>



<p id="3aec">What changes do your employees really want to see?</p>



<p id="faba">What are their deepest concerns about work?</p>



<p id="21f5">What are their mental and physical wellbeing challenges?</p>



<p id="0508">How is work impacting their quality of life?</p>



<p id="4f19">What can be done differently?</p>
</blockquote>



<p id="9bb9">A mismatch between actual problems and solutions offered inevitably leads to poor outcomes. Organisations might need to re-prioritize resources invested in routine biometric assessments and incentives into providing coaching services for employees, a key to improving their personal and professional well-being.</p>



<p id="2b6b">It is important to understand that well-being programs are not one-size-fits-all; what works for one organization may not work for the other. A mental health lunch &amp; learn week may fit just right for an organization that has a strong culture of wellness and is supportive of its employees’ health through strategic solutions but may be ineffective for an organization that is yet to resolve these primary issues. Wellbeing programs need to be customised depending on the needs of the workforce and what stage they are in in the well-being journey.</p>



<p id="2fff">Part of creating a customized wellness program for your organisation is also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.corporatewellnessmagazine.com/article/personalized-wellbeing-corporate-wellness-the-right-way" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">personalising these offerings</a>. Even among a group of employees with similar well-being issues, solutions that work best for each employee can vary. Providing a customised wellness plan for employees involves understanding their individual situation, identifying their social, economic, and health factors and integrating these nuances into their wellbeing solutions.</p>



<p id="3cf9">Curating the right wellness program for your ogranisation requires paying attention to the granular issues of wellness and health in your organization. Well-being and health are not independent issues and they are dependent on a large number of factors, including organizational culture, workplace issues, and personal health circumstances. Understanding these contexts help leaders to identify their employees’ actual wellness challenges and implement the most effective solutions.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="8d32">The pandemic has redefined what really matters to many people. People have had months to rethink what work means to them, what it means to be valued, and how they want to contribute to society. Whether the “Great Resignation” has already affected your company or not, here are immediate steps you can take to minimise turnover and get your company ready for a post-pandemic employment landscape.</h3>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="4bc9">Extend remote work options fairly</h2>



<p id="dde7">For many employees, the pandemic has proven they don’t necessarily have to be in the office to be productive. For others, it highlighted that they enjoy the opportunity to socialise face to face. Whilst some are certainly eager to return to the physical workplace, others have no intention of going back — at least, not permanently.</p>



<p id="b8ef">Some companies have already assured employees that they won’t have to come back to the office if they prefer not to do so. For example, Square announced that employees would have the option to work from home indefinitely since May 2020. Since then, many others have followed suit, going 100% remote or moving to a hybrid workforce model.</p>



<p id="20ec">It is important to give employees assurances as often as possible even if leaders of the organisations are still finalising their post-pandemic workforce plans. Aim to make your work policy as extensive and equitable as possible, and provide clear guidelines around eligibility so that no one feels unfairly left out.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="32ab">Listen — really listen — to your employees.</h2>



<p id="7b2d">Engagement starts with understanding your employees. This can include conducting an Employee Engagement Survey with specific well-being questions or a specialised well-being assessment. At the peak of the pandemic, a lot of emphasis was placed on employee well-being, with experts fearing that the stress and anxiety created by the health crisis — compounded by isolation — would hasten burnout.</p>



<p id="ff57">The assessment should include different dimensions of well-being such as one’s physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, financial, and social needs. By collecting and analysing feedback from those who have left the organisation, you can better understand why people are leaving and take action on the highlighted areas (e.g., remote work options) that will drive the biggest impact. Keep in mind seeking feedback from employees should be an ongoing process, not a one-off activity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="38ab">Focus on customisable solutions to support employees’ health and wellness needs.</h2>



<p id="603f">The pandemic has been challenging for many employees and it is important to note that experiences during the pandemic have differed widely for employees depending on personal circumstances. Stress has been a constant, as well as the uncertainty of what the future will bring and how the pandemic experience will impact a person’s health. Focusing on customisable solutions that are sustainable to support employees are important. There is no one size fits all strategy, so it is also important to consider how organisations can best help every employee with customisable solutions that are sustainable.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="58a8">Ensure you’re addressing employee development needs.</h2>



<p id="121e">Employees in today’s day and age are more than ever valuing opportunities to learn and grow. If they can’t do that within your organisation, they’re likely to seek those opportunities elsewhere. Even if you don’t have many opportunities for employees to move into higher position roles, you can still provide them with ways to learn new skills or take on more challenging projects.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="797b">Ensure pay equity and transparency</h2>



<p id="14a2">A powerful place to start is with pay equity because if organisations are not transparent and have not made any significant progress in this area, employees are more inclined to look for other better opportunities elsewhere. The first step toward pay equity is understanding if there are any gaps in your organisation. Transparency is paramount &#8211; If your organisation is not comfortable disclosing exact numbers, consider sharing salary ranges. This not only gives employees a way to confirm they’re being paid fairly, but can also give them more confidence that you’re committed to equity.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p id="d96d">It’s fair to say that wellness is on the agenda for most employers today. There’s nothing like a global pandemic and a worldwide halt to gym attendance to highlight its far-reaching value. A healthy mind and body help us perform in all aspects of life.</p>



<p id="a243">Poor well-being has serious implications. It can manifest in physical symptoms like headaches and fatigue or mental ones like anxiety and depression. As well-being is something that improves or declines gradually, it can be difficult to spot the early signs that it’s headed in the wrong direction. This is where employers can step in.</p>



<p id="a68f">Of course, not everyone in the organisation is going to have the skills to spot anxiety before it rears its head. However, you can have balances in place to try and recognise when staff are at risk.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="45e5">Indicators of Good Wellbeing at Work</h1>



<p id="c3ba">When people are well, they will generally display it through the following:</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="2236">1. Resilience</h1>



<p id="e5bf"><strong>E.g. the ability to cope with stress and setbacks.</strong></p>



<p id="4d0c">If someone is struggling to bounce back from a difficult situation, their resilience is low.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="0ff0">2. Engagement</h1>



<p id="2ccc"><strong>E.g. how motivated and invested an individual is in their work.</strong></p>



<p id="4747">If someone is feeling disengaged, they may start to feel like their work isn’t worthwhile.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="6104">3. Satisfaction</h1>



<p id="89bd"><strong>E.g. how content an individual is with their job.</strong></p>



<p id="598f">If someone is unhappy with their workload or working conditions, their satisfaction will be low.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="5324">4. Energy</h1>



<p id="b817"><strong>E.g. How much physical and mental energy an individual has.</strong></p>



<p id="9381">If someone is feeling constantly tired or run down, their energy levels are likely to be low.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="88d9">Warning Signs of Poor Wellbeing</h1>



<p id="1915">It’s normal for resilience, engagement, satisfaction and energy to fluctuate. No one is static at all times. But, when it becomes problematic, it may be displayed like this:</p>



<ul><li>Increased absenteeism</li><li>Decreased productivity</li><li>Increased mistakes</li><li>Withdrawal from social activities</li><li>Changes in appearance</li><li>Changes in behaviour</li></ul>



<p id="f746">Of course, it’s important to remember that these are just potential signs and not definitive proof. Different people will show different signs of poor well-being.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="ef24">What Can Employers Do?</h1>



<p id="7374">Employers need to both watch for these signs and introduce wellness management into the corporate culture to minimise the risk of well-being decline. Here’s how:</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="71ec">Encourage a healthy work-life balance</h1>



<p id="84cf">Ensure that staff have enough time for both their work and personal lives and remember that everyone’s idea of a healthy work-life balance will be different. One thing is for sure, though, hybrid work will be part of this conversation.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index/hybrid-work" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Seventy percent of workers</a>&nbsp;want to keep their hybrid remote work options. Well-being plans must factor in ways to engage employees both in and out of the office.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="48b1">Promote open communication and offer support</h1>



<p id="c424">Create an environment where staff feel comfortable talking about their well-being, whether that’s with their line manager or HR. Normalising these conversations means that employees will come to you sooner, and it makes them feel less alone. Removing that feeling of isolation is itself a powerful tool to combat poor well-being.</p>



<p id="54d1">Outside of open communication, offer support, such as an Employee Assistance Programme or access to counselling services.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="0b0f">Be proactive</h1>



<p id="3953">Try to identify the early signs of poor well-being and take action to address them before they become a bigger problem. Do this by holding regular reviews to check in with staff and consciously address some of the indicators above to gauge how they’re feeling inside and outside of work.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="b248">Encourage healthy lifestyle choices</h1>



<p id="8b4b">Healthy food options in the workplace, encouraging regular breaks and introducing wellness programs all help to keep staff happy and healthy. PUML Better Health is one solution that rewards staff for participation and encourages engagement with challenges that can be set up company or team-wide. No matter whether they’re at home, abroad or in the office.</p>

<p id="1aa6">The modern worker is looking for more than just fiduciary remuneration in their ideal job. When considering additional employee benefits, it is important to tailor a benefits package to the individual employee as they have different wants and needs. Here are five different ways to build out an employee benefits package to meet the needs of your employees:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="cb43"><strong>Healthcare</strong></h2>



<p id="0cc7">Health is wealth. Being able to offer healthcare support to your employees is one of the most popular additional benefits. This helps them lighten the burden of medical costs including things like yearly check-ups, treatments, and dental and vision coverage. These healthcare benefits may also extend to cover family members which is highly desirable.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0f9e"><strong>Wellbeing support</strong></h2>



<p id="1cbc">Well-being support has been gaining more traction and many organisations have started to realise the importance of offering their employees a well-being support program. In addition, many organisations have also learned that well-being support comes in many forms and is personal to the individual employee. It is essential to offer a suite of well-being tools and resources to help navigate each individual’s well-being challenges and preferences.</p>



<p id="4c05">Examples of wellness offerings include</p>



<ul><li>Mental health resources</li><li>EAP service</li><li>Access to gym memberships</li><li>Meditation sessions at work</li><li>Counseling sessions</li><li>Personal time-off</li><li>Access to virtual workout classes</li></ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="b975"><strong>Discounts</strong></h2>



<p id="0a0e">Financial wellbeing is a very important issue globally and everyone is looking for ways to save money. Employee discounts allow them to save money on items from essential grocery runs to occasional purchases such as activewear apparel. Using the PUML App, users use PUML coins, earned from their healthy habits to redeem rewards including: supermarket vouchers, sports retail brands vouchers and much more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="57d0"><strong>Paid personal time off</strong></h2>



<p id="43b1">These come in various forms and many organisations have started offering more time off to employees as they recognise the importance of rest. One example is a paid day for birthdays, this is highly beneficial for employees to relax and enjoy themselves on their special day. Another one is a paid day to reward employees who have done a good job and similarly, this is a highly beneficial reward for employees to not only rest but also acknowledge them for their hard work. PUML clients have also taken advantage of this to reward their employees for hitting their health goals.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="0fea"><strong>Learning and Development budget</strong></h2>



<p id="b83e">Increasingly, more people are not just looking for a job, but a successful career. This means organisations must put in the time and financial resources to invest in the professional development of their employees. This is especially crucial in today’s constantly evolving world where up-skilling is high on the agenda for many professionals. Organisations can also benefit as they develop and train their talent to take on bigger responsibilities and more senior roles instead of hiring externally.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p id="99cd">Wellness is the future of the internet. As we move into the next generation of technology, a focus on wellness has become increasingly important. We are moving from a society based solely on consumption to one where people value health, happiness, and fulfillment. The divides between IRL and online are blurring, and people won’t accept a future that’s forever plugged in and inactive.</p>



<p id="07ef">We may be online more than ever before, but technology has allowed us to life-hack our way to better wellness. This trend is moving with us into the web3 world. Health and wellness are being further enhanced, not lost.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="b3a7">What is web3?</h1>



<p id="ddf2">Web 3 is a cultural movement, an entirely different way of thinking. It goes beyond just coding and crypto. Unlike our web2 present, where intermediaries like Google and Facebook own the content we create (the very contributions we individually and collectively make to the web2 world), web3 allows creators and users to capture the value they create. And we are all creators.</p>



<p id="10b5">The internet is built by people. Not just those who built the infrastructure where we post but the content that goes there is the heart and soul of the online world. The users’ contributions make it a place we want to visit, not the platforms themselves.</p>



<p id="305e">Web3 principles put the power in the peoples’ hands. It removes the present dilemma of private data in exchange for services and gives users more control over how they engage with platforms and with others online.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="9422">Wellness in Today’s World</h1>



<p id="f8f0">The wellness industry is rapidly transforming. As technology evolves, better solutions are designed to improve user experience. It was once revolutionary that you could watch an exercise video online. Today, you can custom-build workouts on apps, friend people on your preferred wellness platform, track your performance from your smartwatch and have gamification designed to get you up, moving and feeling proud of your progress.</p>



<p id="ea92">Smart devices are everywhere, acting as personal trainers and life coaches to keep us on track, and focused on the goals that matter. The goals that make us happy and keep us healthy.</p>



<p id="aa9b">Now, enter web3, and you can have all of the above, plus:</p>



<ul><li>users own their data, and</li><li>move-to-earn and MoveFi enter the equation.</li><li>more privacy than ever before</li><li>unique gamification and earning opportunities</li></ul>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="afc6">The Rise of Play to Earn and MoveFi</h1>



<p id="9c35">Play to earn (also called move to earn or M2E) is a blockchain-based concept where users are rewarded with real digital currency for their achievements. Exactly as the name suggests, they play (or move) to earn rewards. These activities can be tracked and verified on the blockchain, meaning that there is no need for a centralized platform to issue or manage rewards. There is no sneaky business.</p>



<p id="411f">This creates a number of advantages:</p>



<ul><li>It’s completely trustless (no single entity in control)</li><li>It’s more secure (because it’s decentralised)</li><li>It’s more engaging (because users are directly rewarded for their efforts)</li><li>It’s more motivating (because there is a real incentive to participate).</li></ul>



<p id="b141">This concept takes the existing practice of gamification, which is present in all fitness apps today and adds a financial portion (GamFi) to really boost the incentive.</p>



<p id="2e28">MoveFi is then using web3 technology to create a decentralised fitness ecosystem. It does this by connecting people, apps, devices, and data on the blockchain. It’s the blending of movement technology with the financial aspects of the on-chain ecosystem.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="be7f">What does that mean for wellness?</h1>



<p id="1fec">A decentralised fitness ecosystem rewards people for their physical activity with digital currency. This currency can be used to buy fitness-related products and services, it can be donated to charities, or it can be cashed in for other currencies. Users that engage with web3 fitness platforms are rewarded not only with health, but financially as well.</p>



<p id="0710">There is no greater motivator than that.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="7916"><em>Research shows that a balance among the Seven Dimensions of well-being leads to a fuller, more satisfying life. The Seven Dimensions include Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, Intellectual, Environmental, and Occupational health.</em></h2>



<p id="f48e"><strong>Physical Wellness:</strong></p>



<p id="9ff8"><em>Move more, eat well</em><br><br>This dimension of well-being focuses on practicing healthy daily habits. It encompasses a variety of healthy behaviours including regular exercise, proper nutrition and other physical activities that support bodily health. It also means learning about and identifying symptoms of disease, getting regular medical check-ups, and protecting yourself from injuries. Developing such healthy habits today will not only add years to your life but will enhance the enjoyment and quality of those years.<br><br>When it comes to exercise, everyone is different, and&nbsp;<strong>PUML</strong>&nbsp;supports all fitness goals and levels. Use&nbsp;<strong>PUML</strong>&nbsp;to build healthy habits wherever you are — designed to incentivise healthy habits in the most ‘fun; way possible. This means that we actively congratulate and reward participants with discount codes, merchandise, NFTs and $PUMLx Coins.</p>



<p id="d462"><strong>Emotional wellness:</strong></p>



<p id="2264"><em>Practice Gratitude</em></p>



<p id="55bb">Emotional wellness focuses on the ability to acknowledge and express human emotions well including validating and managing emotions constructively. It also means having the ability to love and feel loved and achieving a sense of fulfillment in life. Mental health is one of the most talked about topics today.</p>



<p id="971e"><strong>PUML&nbsp;</strong>hosts virtual wellness challenges including Meditation challenges and Gratitude challenges which are aimed at improving mental health.</p>



<p id="b290"><strong>Social Wellness:</strong></p>



<p id="6c92"><em>Connection</em></p>



<p id="5cb3">Social well-being focuses on cultivating healthy relationships with friends and family. This means learning good communication skills, developing intimacy with others and creating a support network of friends and family members.</p>



<p id="1633"><strong>PUML</strong>&nbsp;understands that it’s hard to keep company participation levels up and that is why we have company leaderboards to gamify the experience and add a level of social motivation.</p>



<p id="a68e"><strong>Spiritual Wellness:</strong></p>



<p id="74cc"><em>Nourish your soul</em></p>



<p id="e70d">Spiritual wellness involves seeking purpose and meaning in one’s life. This can encompass activities like praying and meditating.</p>



<p id="b492">To enhance spiritual well-being,&nbsp;<strong>PUML</strong>&nbsp;offers various wellness challenges such as meditation challenges, gratitude challenges and Live Corporate classes like Yoga.</p>



<p id="c09e"><strong>Intellectual Wellness:</strong></p>



<p id="db28"><em>Boost your brain</em></p>



<p id="2471">The intellectual dimension encourages creative, stimulating mental activities. Our minds need to be continually inspired and exercised just as our bodies do. Continuous learning and participating in activities that arouse our minds are important.</p>



<p id="4d4e"><strong>PUML&nbsp;</strong>programs are customisable for YOUR workplace. You can choose which activities to include in your bespoke corporate wellness program and even allow your employees to participate collectively in their preferred activity.</p>



<p id="687a"><strong>Occupational Wellness:</strong></p>



<p id="a027"><em>Live with purpose</em></p>



<p id="4d4b">Occupational Wellness encourages fulfillment in the workplace while also balancing other life responsibilities. It means successfully integrating a commitment to your occupation into a total lifestyle that is satisfying and rewarding.</p>



<p id="7176"><strong>PUML</strong>&nbsp;offers Employee Wellness Analytics where your employees will be surveyed before and after your wellness program. You will receive a dashboard with analytics on participation levels, how your employees have improved their wellness and other key insights which help you to understand and support your employees in the area of occupational wellness.</p>



<p id="9767"><strong>Environmental Wellness:</strong></p>



<p id="9d4a"><em>Love the earth.</em></p>



<p id="6ea7">Environmental wellness is an awareness of the unstable state of the earth and the effects of your daily habits on the physical environment. It includes being involved in socially responsible activities to protect the environment.</p>



<p id="1142"><em>Did you know</em>…&nbsp;<strong>PUML</strong>&nbsp;offers charity integration where you can choose a charity your company would like to sponsor and we will integrate a donation option as part of your wellness initiative.</p>



<p id="03b5">As your employees earn PUML Coins, they can choose to donate them to the charity right in the app.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Australian Olympic gold medalist Chelsea Hodges has been avidly swimming since she was just four years old. Like most Australian kids, she learned how to swim before she could walk, and from the first dip until now, it has been her passion.</p>



<p>By 2017, at the age of 15, Chelsea was representing Australia at the FINA World Junior Championships in Indiana. In 2018, she took out Gold in the 50m and 100m breaststroke for the 16 years age group, becoming a National Champion for her age group. Within the same year, she won silver in both the 50m breaststroke and the 4x100m medley relay at the Youth Olympic Games.</p>



<p>Fast forward to Tokyo 2020 Olympics — which ended up taking place in 2021 — and 19 year old Chelsea Hodges won first place in the 100m breaststroke final and cemented her place in history, taking home gold with her team as part of the Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay. Her individual time was just 1:05.57.</p>



<p>Unlike many rising athletic stars, Chelsea’s path was not straightforward. In 2016 she tore cartilage in her hip and developed bone issues as a result. At 15, she had to go through rehab and learn both how to walk and swim again. Day after day, year after year, she pushed forward to reach her Olympic dream.</p>



<p>Little goals, she says, have got her to where she is today.</p>



<p>Passionate about health and conscious of her platform, Chelsea feels the responsibility to be a positive role model to those who follow her journey. She understands how young people look up to athletes in Australia and wants to use her platform to share that you don’t have to be an athlete to be healthy. Everyone can and should take care of their personal health.</p>



<p>This is how she discovered PUML.</p>



<p>Outside of swimming, Chelsea is studying to become a nurse. Physical health, inner health and mental health are all elements of overall health that she wishes to share with others. On the PUML app, it’s the unique community feature that attracted her to set her own ‘Train With Me’ challenge.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="Chelsea Hodges x PUML" width="1240" height="698" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TNNnqnMLTd4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What is the PUML Train With Me&nbsp;Campaign</h3>



<p>PUML Better Health engages users to get active by offering a community environment where they can participate in challenges with one another and win real-world rewards for doing so. The Train With Me program features some of Australia’s leading women in sport, giving them a platform from which they can have a truly personal interaction with their fans while at the same time encouraging positive habits and healthy goals.</p>



<p>PUML’s Train With Me campaigns connect inspiring athletes to their community so that they can get active together. What makes this unique is the access athletes have to an engaged group ready to take healthy steps. The platform allows them to run challenges, interact with the group, share rewards and build influence that truly helps their followers. For Chelsea, this is an opportunity to challenge her community to set small goals that build into better health and wellness.</p>



<p>Chelsea’s advice is: “Stop caring what people think and believe in what you do. I spent a lot of time worrying about what other people were doing. Especially in sport, you’ve got to stay in your own lane and just worry about what you do.”</p>



<p>Supported by the Queensland Government’s ActiveKIT program, PUML is recognised as a truly impactful way to engage users, not just to sign up but to get involved and build better lifestyles.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Remote working and flexible work arrangements have become common during the COVID-19 crisis. As companies adopt new methods of working, well-being has become an increasingly important topic for them.</p>



<p>As people are working remotely, it is becoming increasingly difficult for leaders to identify early warning signs that someone might be struggling and aren&#8217;t able to take action in time to help them. Mental health issues have become an increasingly prevalent problem, and companies that take steps to address them can gain a competitive edge.</p>



<p>Organizations must take into account their employees&#8217; experiences no matter where they&#8217;re located. Here’re 3 key actions that can help organisations enhance employee wellness post-pandemic:</p>



<p><strong>Take time to understand your employee’s level of well-being</strong></p>



<p>Creating an Employee Wellbeing Strategy begins with understanding your employee’s level of well-being and thereby determining the gaps that may exist. This can include conducting an Employee Engagement Survey with specific well-being questions or a specialised well-being Assessment. The assessment should include different dimensions of well-being such as one’s physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, financial, and social needs.</p>



<p><strong>Focus on customizable solutions that are sustainable</strong></p>



<p>During the pandemic, many of us learned that everyone has vulnerabilities and a life outside of work, and that is normal. One of the most important things an organisation can do for its people is to trust them and give them the freedom to find a working routine that suits them best. Employees frequently go to their leaders for guidance when they’re looking for a sense of purpose and that does not mean a focus on the business’s financial goals only. It is not possible to offer a single solution for everyone; therefore, it is also important to think about how an organisation can best support each individual employee with customized solutions that are sustainable.</p>



<p><strong>Create a workplace where employees feel safe to speak about their wellbeing</strong></p>



<p>It&#8217;s important to create multiple channels for your team members to share their thoughts. While some employees may be comfortable sharing their thoughts in a meeting, others may prefer to have more personal space to share their thoughts. Besides having regular one-on-one meetings, ask your team members to provide feedback by sending emails or using online collaboration tools, like Slack or Microsoft Teams. Furthermore, encouraging personal reflections like writing down thoughts and practicing self-affirma­tions can also help people feel supported.</p>



<p><strong>Need help planning your corporate wellness program?</strong></p>



<p>We can survey your employees, create customisable wellness programs that fit your employees and deliver wellness content to empower your employees to live a better and healthier life collectively and seamlessly. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Australian cricketer, Holly Ferling, has been a sporting prodigy from an early age. At just 14, she made her debut in men’s grade cricket, took a hat-trick with her first three balls and was name Queensland Junior Cricketer of the Year — the first woman ever to receive this accolade.</p>



<p>Before then, she was an accomplished netball player representing the Wide Bay Thundercats in the Queensland State Netball League. Team sports have been a lifelong passion, and cricket is her chosen path. In 2015, Holly was selected for Australia’s touring party in the Women’s Ashes in England. She was the first signing for the Brisbane Heat in the inaugural Women’s Big Bash League, and she played for New Zealand’s Northern Districts Spirit in the 2015–16 season.</p>



<p>After an injury in 2016, she dropped out of the Australian squad for surgery and recovery before bouncing back to join the Melbourne Stars’ squad for the 2018–19 Women’s Big Bash League.</p>



<p>Currently a Cricketer Commentator for Channel 7 and a player for the ACT Meteors and the Melbourne Renegades, Holly is a force to be reckoned with.</p>



<p>While training is an important aspect of maintaining her competitive fitness, Holly believes that overall wellness is holistic. She says she has found that having good mental health, enough sleep, and practicing healthy habits helps keep her balanced.</p>



<p>This is how she discovered PUML.</p>



<p>During the lockdown, step challenges on PUML helped Holly use the motivating charge of the community to get out and do something just for her. Listening to music, playing podcasts and going for walks became a nourishing form of exercise that was low intensity.</p>



<p>As a lifelong player of team sports, the community and social elements of PUML were hugely motivating for Holy. In her own words, “other people are essential”. Achievements are only as good as when you can share them with someone. Sharing the hard times, too, helps everyone to lift each other up.</p>



<p>The community centricity and range of holistic programs on the PUML app inspired Holy to want to build her own community.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What is the PUML Train With Me Campaign?</h1>



<p>PUML’s Train With Me campaigns connect inspiring athletes with a community that is eager to engage and get active. For Holly, it&#8217;s an opportunity to engage young adults and encourage their lifelong journeys of good heath and wellbeing.</p>



<p>Collaborating with women in sport, PUML encourages athletes to develop their own challenges based on their unique values and passions. Step challenges, hydration challenges, mindfulness, journaling and many other styles of challenges are being developed by enthusiastic athletes excited to share their wellness hacks with their community.</p>



<p>Supported by the Queensland Government’s ActiveKIT program, PUML is recognised as a truly impactful way to engage users, not just to sign up but to get involved and build better lifestyles.</p>



<p>Blockchain technology enables this community-centric design for online communities. PUML’s decentralised software creates more significant incentives to use the app, which leads to greater user participation. PUML can offer real rewards on the blockchain, such as PUML Coins and NFTs of athletes with real intrinsic value.</p>



<p>PUML coins can be used to purchase real goods and service. You can donate them to charity partners through the platform. NFTs can give you access to exclusive events or athlete training opportunities. This type of engagement transforms the way athletes can provide real impact to their communities. They&#8217;re not just helping people improve their overall well-being. They’re rewarding them for doing so.</p>



<p>“The Train With Me Program allows youths to start with where they’re at. It doesn’t matter what level of fitness you are. There is something out there for you. The best thing you can do is take that first step, take the leap, have a go. You never know what might be around the corner.” — Holly Ferling.</p>
