💧Hydration Challenge to Boost Well-Being

Objective:
Encourage team members to stay hydrated throughout the workday, improving well-being and promoting healthy habits.  

How It Works:
Shono initiates a "Hydration Challenge" in your Slack workspace, aimed at motivating everyone to drink enough water each day. The challenge lasts for one week, and the goal is simple—each participant is encouraged to drink 8 glasses of water daily.  

Step-by-Step: 

1. Initiation by Shono: Shono, your AI engagement assistant, posts in the #wellness Slack channel to announce the Hydration Challenge. It sets a friendly tone, explaining the importance of staying hydrated, and invites everyone to participate.  
2. Tracking & Reminders: Throughout the week, Shono sends gentle reminders directly in the Slack channel, asking how many glasses participants have had and sharing hydration tips. Shono will communicate with people during the challenge and encourage them to continue until the challenge ends. It also provides useful tips about the benefits of staying hydrated and manages the entire challenge like a campaign manager—making sure everyone stays engaged and motivated.
3. Leaderboards & Engagement: Shono creates a simple, friendly leaderboard within Slack, showing how much water each participant has consumed, and encouraging some lighthearted competition. Employees can react, comment, and cheer each other on—turning hydration into a fun, team-building activity.  
4. Reward: At the end of the week, Shono announces the winner—someone who has been consistent in their hydration goals. The winner gets a small reward, which could be something like a $100 gift card or even company-branded water bottles.  

Outcome:
The Hydration Challenge becomes a fun, engaging way for team members to adopt a healthy habit together. It fosters well-being without feeling like work, and team members interact positively throughout the week. Employees report feeling more focused and energized during the day, while Shono’s prompts keep everyone motivated without adding extra work for anyone.  

Impact: 

• Increased Participation: Over 70% of the team joined the challenge. 
• Positive Engagement: Colleagues cheered each other on, shared tips, and felt more connected. 
• Healthy Habits: Many participants continued focusing on hydration even after the challenge ended.
