Wellness Breaks
Take a Wellness Break.
Be back in 10!
A short pause can help you reset, refocus, and return to your work with more energy. HealthyUNCG invites every UNCG employee to make space for wellness breaks throughout the workday.
Why breaks matter
Taking time for yourself during the day is not a luxury. It is a practical way to support your well-being. Even a few minutes away from your screen, desk, or usual routine can create room to breathe, move, hydrate, or simply reset.
A healthier workplace culture
When we make breaks visible and respected, we help normalize care for ourselves and one another. That culture shift gives colleagues permission to pause without guilt and reinforces that well-being belongs in our workday.
