These clubs support social wellbeing as they bring employees together through common interests and they get employees that don’t usually interact to connect with each other. These clubs build employee engagement, motivation as well as that they boost morale and productivity. Sports and social clubs support employees wellbeing and encourages a healthy work life balance. Setting up clubs shows you care and are interested in your staff which can boost loyalty too.

Simple steps to set up a workplace social/sports club:
- Identify common interests within your team- look for shared hobbies or skills between employees in your team
- Consider what resources you might need- think about what space you can use and whether you need an online platform for example.
- Generate interest and gather participants together- market the club to all employees, then add interested colleagues into a group chat and organise your first gathering as a group.
