Template campaigns: from scattered initiatives to strategic wellbeing impact

A mindfulness workshop here, a step challenge there, maybe a lunch & learn about healthy eating. Sound familiar? Many companies today already have wellbeing initiatives, but they often feel like loose puzzle pieces. The bigger picture is missing. And while your HR budget and time are limited, the question remains: how do you create impact that's actually measurable?
 
The solution isn't more initiatives, but smarter bundling.
 
Move To Happiness template campaigns transform scattered actions into strategic wellbeing programs that make a real difference – for employees and for the business.

More than content: the 4 pillars of effective campaigns

Template campaigns are much more than a series of random videos or one-off actions. They combine four powerful pillars that together create lasting behavioral change:

  • Data-driven surveys: Pre- and post-measurements (validated) provide self-insight into stress levels, energy balance, and behavioral change. These show you the path to relevant content.
  • Expert-led content: Scientifically-backed programs from top experts like Dr. Inge Declercq (sleep), Michaël Sels (nutrition), and Ann De Bisschop (mental wellbeing). Videos last max 5-10 minutes.
  • Gamification and challenges: Employees are activated and motivated to stick with it thanks to internal leaderboards, team competitions, and personal milestones.
  • Physical events: Kick-offs, lunch & learns, and closing team activities bring colleagues together offline and strengthen engagement around the theme.

From 30+ content programs to strategic campaigns

Move To Happiness offers more than 30 programs, but makes the difference by smartly bundling them into themed campaigns. Each campaign combines relevant expert programs around one clear objective,  supported by measurement, gamification, and communication.

Example: Start To Run

Working together toward a sporting goal, with a running event as the cherry on top. During this campaign, employees are guided step by step toward a running race, like a 10K. The journey is achievable for every level thanks to online coaching and smart tracking.

  • Expert content: Running programs for different levels, supplemented with nutrition tips for athletes
  • Measurements: Wearable tracking
  • Gamification: Team leaderboards and progress tracking
  • Event: Joint participation in a running event

Example: Resolutions

In January, employees choose their own wellbeing goal: move more, eat healthier, or finally work on better sleep. No strict rules, just personal motivation and accessible guidance. This way we help turn good intentions into sustainable habits.

  • Expert content: Movement programs with Jenny van den Brandt, sleep programs from Dr. Inge Declercq, nutrition programs from Michaël Sels
  • Measurements: Wearables and self-assessments
  • Gamification: 21-day challenge with daily new triggers, like a short workout, a nutrition hack, or a sleep tip
