Blend's Work Hard, Play Hard Challenge
Summer’s here, and to promote healthy choices within our company this season, we’ve implemented a Work Hard. Play Hard. challenge. And if that wasn’t reason enough, we’re headed to Mexico!

This fall we’ll be wheels up and on our way to celebrate a milestone, Blend’s 15th anniversary (postponed from 2020). So, in preparation for the heat and soft, sandy beaches, we thought we’d kick it in gear over the warmer months with some friendly competition.
So how does it work? Fair and square, we drew names to determine teams. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the four teams of five will earn points by completing different activities in the following categories: fitness, healthy eating, and wellness.
From making health and wellness a priority, to offering morning yoga on Blend's downtown rooftop, this challenge has a little something for everyone. At the end of each week this summer, the top three teams who accumulated the most points for that week earn points in the summer challenge. After Labor Day, the point totals will be tallied and the top three teams will reap the rewards for our upcoming trip. We'll be doling out some serious cash to spend on spa treatments, private dinners on the beach, off-resort excursions, or add-on experiences like a Mezcal tasting, a culinary theatre, or horseback riding.
Challenge aside, incorporating ways to spike motivation and promote collaboration at a time when the once traditional work experience is evolving, keeps our team collaboration alive and the company culture intact. As we prepare to celebrate our now 16 years in business together in Mexico in the fall, we’re grateful for these fun opportunities and time we’re able to work and play together as a team this summer.
Since many of you have asked about the logistics of the challenge itself, we've included a summary of activities below. If you want to play along, you can download this Weekly Tracker to participate. Although we're sorry to say you won't win a trip to Mexico, it would still be fun to have you play along. :)
