Stronger Together: Orion’s 2025 Wellness Challenge

Every choice we make—big or small—plays a role in how we care for our minds, bodies, and each other.

Recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year, Orion hosted its second annual Orion Wellness Challenge! The team took on the challenge to complete as many wellness tasks as possible—focusing on movement, mindfulness, nutrition, rest, and connection. From meditating to social media breaks, to hitting weekly sleep goals, our engineers embraced the opportunity to build healthier habits, support one another, and bring awareness to the importance of mental well-being in the workplace.
