4 Wellness Topics of Note for 2022

The Pantone Color Institute announced its 2022 Color of the Year to be PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri. Marking the first time in the Color of the Year’s history a new color was created, the color features qualities of blues with a violet-red undertone. The announcement reveals Very Peri is representative of the “transition we are going through. As we emerge from an intense period of isolation, our notions and standards are changing, and our physical and digital lives have merged in new ways.” 

Now you might be wondering, what does the Pantone Color of the Year announcement have to do with wellness? Well, the very trends that Pantone declared as the inspiration for the creation of Very Peri came up during Virgin Pulse’s recent “2022 Employee Wellbeing Predictions” webinar.

The webinar shared 15 predictions for 2022 from members of the Virgin Pulse Leadership Team, its Science Advisory Board, VP+ partners (companies who are part of the integrated well-being solution) and THRIVEx 2021 keynote speakers. From those predictions, four key wellness topics emerged when looking ahead to 2022.
