Practicing social distancing and wearing masks are two recommendations for staying healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic, but avoiding the coronavirus is only one factor of staying well throughout this unusual time. As people adjust to new ways of working, increased isolation and reduced social engagement can take a toll on mental and physical health.

Q2’s mission to strengthen communities extends to its community of employees. As Q2 transitioned its workforce to a remote working model, it has put in place a number of helpful programs meant to enrich the lives of its team members and their families. These activities include engaging experiences such as remote “coffee talks” with company executives, virtual visits of famous attractions in Q2’s global locations, and movie and trivia nights that keep connections among team members strong while providing an entertaining break from the sometimes-repetitive nature of remote work and quarantine.

Remote wellness activities

As a part of these efforts to support employee health, Q2 has also introduced free, weekly “Wellness Wednesday” meetings held remotely and open to team members around the globe. The schedule features an array of practices and educational experiences that take a comprehensive wellness approach, promoting both physical and psychological health. Real-time, informative sessions include healthy and practical cooking classes, guided meditation sessions, and inclusive yoga and exercise practices for team members with differing abilities and fitness levels.

Meaningful resources for team members

Q2’s global workforce operates around the clock, and not everyone who wants to can join Wellness Wednesday sessions. With that in mind, recordings are made available for team members to access at the right time. These are just some of the ways Q2 supports team members to help them stay healthy and balanced so they can stay focused on empowering financial institutions to provide seamless support for their account holders. The program is constantly evolving, and new experiences are added regularly.
