The importance of vitality

We believe that our employees are best able to contribute to the success of our company if they feel happy, healthy, and engaged.

While we are operating in a challenging environment and a world that changes quickly, we ask a lot of our employees. We believe that our employees are best able to contribute to the success of our company if they feel happy, healthy, and engaged. We find it important to take care of our people and give attention to their health and well-being. That is why a group of colleagues from the different offices took the initiative to organise a Vitality Month in November 2022.

Creating awareness in our offices
The purpose of this vitality month was to create awareness on the importance of vitality. From a holistic approach we tried to provide tools to employees so they could discover what works best for them. Vitality is not only eating healthy, exercising or sleeping well but also having fulfilment in life, and from meaningful and inspiring work. To make sure that vitality was further embedded in the organisation and everybody had the possibility to join the activities we planned, we spread it over a month. We hosted online talks for the whole company on topics like finding your Ikigai, activating your growth mindset and the power of giving compliments. In addition, local team events like volunteering, playing padel, yoga, chair massages, crafting and a smoothie workshop were organised. All of these activities where not mandatory but the organising team got a lot of positive feedback and a new vitality month is planned for 2023.
