Well-Being Activities

SFHSS wants employees to feel, be, and live better every day. As an organization, we are committed to creating an environment that supports the well-being of all employees, retirees, and their family members.  

To make well-being resources more accessible, SFHSS has identified a suite of FREE well-being activities that can be brought virtually or in the workplace.

  • Well-being activities are available in virtual and in-person formats (in-person activities are limited; please see the Activities Description List for more details).
  • Activities are available on a limited basis and must be requested by a Well-Being@Work Key Player. If you are not a Key Player, please email well-being@sfgov.org to inquire. 
  • Most activities require a 8 week lead time and require a point of contact who will attend a logistics/planning call at least 2 weeks before the activity date.  
  • Cancellation policy: Training requests must be canceled no less than 10 business days prior to the event and group exercise cancelations require 72 hours notice prior to the event. Repeated late cancellations will result in a loss in priority enrollment for the next request. 

 

Reach out to your SFHSS Coordinator or well-being@sfgov.org for additional questions and support.
