Quarter 4 2025 Wellbeing Key Dates Guide

This Q4 guide is designed to help employees, managers, and organisational leads translate key awareness dates into meaningful, evidence-informed action. From setting boundaries in National Work Life Week to exploring the stress–energy balance in November, each section offers practical, expert-backed ideas to support performance and wellbeing.

Why Feeling Energised?

Feeling energised isn’t just about waking up feeling ready to tackle the day – it’s a core component of a Good Day at Work. It’s what helps us stay focused, motivated, and resilient in the face of challenges. Yet, according to our latest Good Day at Work Insights Report 2025, many employees are running on empty:

• 61% of workers report feeling constantly tired, with 1 in 4 experiencing this often.
• 22% struggle with sleep on a regular basis, making recovery harder.
• Only 42% experience high levels of positive emotions at work and energising emotions like excitement are especially low.

This guide explores what energy looks like at work, why it matters, and how you can take practical steps to protect and boost it – for yourself, your teams, and your organisation.
