As a global, remote-first team, PandaDoc has always valued creative ways to keep its people connected and well. From virtual trivia nights to wellness sessions with FitPros, they tried it all — but the return on these one-off events didn’t always match the investment.
“It’s disappointing when you spend all this money, which could be used for something else that could have a greater impact on more than 15 people,” shared Mel Johnson, Sr Manager of People Operations at PandaDoc.
They needed something different. Something scalable, inclusive, and easy for employees across time zones to actually use.
Enter Bright Breaks.
With short, AI-recommended wellness breaks placed right into employees’ calendars, Bright Breaks gave PandaDoc a new way to promote well-being — one that people actually use. It’s now their first truly global wellness program, and it’s changing the way their teams work.
“It reinforces that we care about our staff… we care that they’re taking breaks.”

The results? Better well-being, higher productivity, and a tool that’s here to stay.
“Bright Breaks isn’t going anywhere… Teams love it, employees love it, my Chief People Officer likes it, and people are talking about it.”
