Overview
This Wellness Committee Workspace template gives a committee one place to plan wellness programs, coordinate events, manage budget and partnerships, and review performance metrics. It is built for a recurring cross-functional group that needs clear roles, a predictable check-in cadence, and a visible path from program intake to leadership reporting.
The workspace is organized around the actual workflow of a wellness committee: kickoff and planning for early alignment, day-to-day coordination for execution, decisions and approvals for sign-off, and metrics and retros for learning. The task lists mirror those stages so each item has a DRI and can move cleanly through prioritization, delivery, budget handling, and reporting. Pinned resources such as the Wellness Committee Charter, Annual Wellness Budget Tracker, Program Metrics Dashboard, and Partner and Vendor Contact List keep the committee from hunting for the latest version of key documents.
Use this template when your committee runs multiple initiatives across a quarter and needs to track ownership, approvals, and outcomes in one workspace. It is especially useful when HR, finance, communications, and external partners all touch the work. It is not the right fit for a one-off event with no recurring governance, or for a team that already has a separate program management system and does not need a shared committee hub.

How to use this template
- 1. Assign the member roles in the workspace to the actual committee functions, such as committee chair, program manager, finance partner, communications lead, and analytics owner.
- 2. Review the Wellness Committee Charter, confirm the quarterly priorities, and post the kickoff agenda in #kickoff-and-planning so everyone starts from the same scope.
- 3. Add intake items to Program Intake and Prioritization, assign a DRI to each item, and use the hill chart to show progress on the Quarterly wellness program rollout.
- 4. Move approved work into Event Planning and Delivery and Budget and Partnerships, then use #day-to-day-coordination for logistics, vendor follow-up, and blocker updates.
- 5. Capture approvals in #decisions-and-approvals, review the Program Metrics Dashboard in the monthly check-in, and close the loop by logging lessons learned in #metrics-and-retros.
Best practices
- Map each member slot to a role, not a person, so the workspace survives staffing changes without losing accountability.
- Keep decisions out of the day-to-day channel and record them in #decisions-and-approvals so approvals are easy to audit later.
- Use the intake list to rank programs by impact, effort, and timing before anyone starts scheduling vendors or venues.
- Give every event and reporting task a single DRI so follow-up does not get split across multiple committee members.
- Update the hill chart during the weekly Monday check-in so the committee can see whether the quarterly rollout is still on track.
- Tie survey results and attendance data back to the specific program in the metrics dashboard instead of reviewing wellness activity in aggregate only.
- Keep the partner and vendor list current after every event so the next program does not start from a stale contact sheet.

Common use cases
Frequently asked questions
What is included in this Wellness Committee Workspace template?
This template includes channels for kickoff and planning, day-to-day coordination, decisions and approvals, and metrics and retros. It also includes weekly and monthly check-ins, quarterly milestones, stage-based task lists, a hill chart for the quarterly rollout, and pinned resources like a charter, budget tracker, dashboard, and partner list. It is designed to help a committee run wellness programs without scattering updates across email and ad hoc chats.
Who should run this workspace?
A committee chair, program manager, or HR/People Operations lead usually owns the workspace. The day-to-day work should be assigned by role, not by name, so the cloning team can map each member slot to a DRI such as Project Manager, Finance Partner, or Communications Lead. That keeps accountability clear and makes it easier to hand off ownership later.
How often should the check-ins happen?
This template is set up for a weekly Monday wellness committee check-in and a monthly wellness metrics review. The weekly cadence is for decisions, blockers, and upcoming events, while the monthly review is for participation, budget, and feedback trends. If your committee runs only quarterly, you can keep the same structure but reduce the weekly meeting to a short async update.
Is this template only for employee wellness programs?
No, it can also support student wellness, community wellness, or tenant engagement programs if the workflow is similar. The structure works best when there is a small committee coordinating programs, approvals, vendors, and measurement. If your work is purely one-off event planning with no recurring metrics or budget tracking, a simpler event workspace may fit better.
What are the most common mistakes when using this workspace?
The biggest mistake is leaving member roles undefined, which creates confusion about who owns intake, approvals, and reporting. Another common issue is using the day-to-day channel for decisions, which makes approvals hard to find later. Teams also underuse the metrics review and end up planning events without closing the loop on participation or feedback.
How should the task lists be used?
Use the task lists as stages: intake and prioritization, event planning and delivery, budget and partnerships, and metrics and reporting. Each task should have a clear DRI and a visible status so the committee can see what is ready, blocked, or complete. This keeps the workflow aligned with Conway's Law by mirroring how the committee actually operates.
Can this workspace connect to our existing tools?
Yes, the template already assumes integration touchpoints with Google Drive, Slack, and a survey tool. Use Drive for shared planning docs and budgets, Slack for channel updates and reminders, and the survey tool for post-event feedback and pulse checks. If you add more tools, keep the workspace links focused on the artifacts the committee uses every week.
How do we roll this out without creating extra admin work?
Start by assigning the member roles, confirming the charter, and loading the current quarter's priorities into the intake list. Then post the first kickoff agenda in the planning channel, set the Monday check-in cadence, and move one active program through the milestone path. A small rollout works better than trying to migrate every past wellness initiative at once.
