Many paths, same destination. For many City employees, getting to optimal health and wellness is the goal. However, for the City’s youngest employees, traditional ideals of health improvement such as chronic disease are less often in focus. WorkWell NYC understands that different generations have different needs and interests – so we created Project XYZ. This project intentionally focuses on the health and wellness of City employees from Generations Y and Z and works to foster community through programs and events that address the real life circumstances that impact their health and wellbeing.

Generation Y |
Generation Z |
|
| Commonly known as the “Millennial Generation”, members of Generation Y were born between 1981 and 1996. | This age cohort immediately follows Generation Y. Members of Generation Z were born in 1997 and later.

While Project XYZ is tailored to generations Y and Z, WorkWell NYC recognizes that many of these resources can be helpful to people of any age. All employees are welcome to participate in Project XYZ programs. We use the “X” in Project XYZ to represent employees of any age who find value in these programs and want to follow along on this journey!

“It was a pleasure joining the group yesterday and meeting everyone. I hope there are more events like this, where we all interact and get to know each other… It's my first time joining an event like this as a NYC employee and would love to see more events like this perhaps during lunchtime, after-work or weekends.”
