The Corporate Wellness Challenge – 8×8 Edition is an eight-month national workplace wellness initiative organised by the Ministry of Health and Wellness. Running from July 2025 to February 2026, the challenge promotes physical activity, healthy eating, and regular health checks across Jamaican workplaces.

OBJECTIVES

The Corporate Wellness Challenge – 8×8 Edition aims to reduce the prevalence of modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases by promoting wellness in the workplace. Specifically, it seeks to:

  • Engage working adults in increased physical activity through workplace-based and regional events over an eight-month period.
  • Provide health education to working adults, focusing on physical activity, healthy eating, smoking cessation, and safer sex practices through participating organisations
  • Facilitate health screenings for employees, promoting early detection and greater awareness of key NCD indicators.
  • Promote sustained behaviour change in workplaces through a points-based competition format and practical strategies.
  • Increase awareness of NCDs and modifiable risk factors across the working population through structured and accessible activities.
  • Encourage active engagement in healthy eating, aligned with national dietary guidelines
