If your team’s energy has taken a hit lately (thanks, return-to-office growing pains), this is a great time to refresh your benefits package with their engagement and wellbeing in mind. To help you get started, we put together a list of 10 hot employee wellbeing initiatives we’ve seen during our recent visits to offices across the country. Some of these
In our fast-paced, perpetually on-the-go work lives, snacking has evolved beyond mere indulgence. Those little snacks we throw in our work bags, cars, and backpacks? They aren’t just a quick fix; they’re a fundamental part of a well-rounded diet. Studies show that eating small amounts of food—especially protein—throughout the day can help us maintain our energy levels, reach our fitness
For decades, the office has stood as a steady—if sterile—symbol of productivity. Neutral colors, fluorescent lights, and (everyone’s favorite) cubicles have long been considered the optimum environment for distraction-free focus. Stay at your desk as much as possible, the message has been. Maybe get up to grab something quick for lunch, and then get back to work. But these days,
If you’re looking for ways to level up your wellness program, organic fruit delivery for the break room, conference room, or office snack station is a great option. It’s a low-lift, high-impact way to show your team that you care about their health—and it can make a real difference in their wellbeing, too. Curious how it all ties together? Here
It’s 2007, and I’m pulling up to the loading dock of a blueberry grower in Hammonton, New Jersey, for the first time. I’m not buying enough fruit to fill an official van, so I’ve shown up in my bright blue Toyota RAV4, ready to stack cases of berries into the back. An older woman comes out to greet me and
Fresh fruit delivery for the office just makes sense. Studies show that eating whole fruits can bring employees all kinds of health benefits, from a lower risk of illness (including heart disease, depression, and anxiety) to increased brainpower and higher productivity. The real challenge is picking the right kind of fruit for your team—should you opt for organic fresh fruit
Back in the early ‘90s, there was no such thing as office fruit delivery. Most workers powered up with a steady stream of vending machine candy bars and strong black coffee. But that all changed in 1998. That year, The FruitGuys made its first delivery of farm-fresh fruit to an office in San Francisco. From there, the concept spread across the
There’s oodles of advice online about employee appreciation and how to show your team that you care (we’ve even written some of it). But here’s the truth: The best way to appreciate your employees isn’t with the most popular tactic on Google. It’s by finding out how they want to be appreciated—and doing that. Luckily, you can learn those things pretty
Picture your workplace in your mind. Then, fill it up with all of your coworkers. Do you have that mental image? Good. Now think about this: Only two in every ten employees feel truly recognized and appreciated at work. The rest (78%) aren’t getting enough of the positive feedback, high-fives, gifts, and other forms of appreciation they need to feel
It usually starts with a sore throat. Cue the runny nose and a cough. Is it the flu, or just a cold? Tens of millions of Americans fall sick with one, the other, or both annually and spend days in bed instead of at school or work. Cold and flu season usually runs from December to February and causes tens
According to a 2024 survey of 800 workers, almost 74% of men and 66% of women “crave more meaningful bonds with work colleagues.” Holidays are a great opportunity for HR and office managers to help build those bonds—Valentine’s Day included! To give you a headstart, here are three fun Valentine’s Day activities for work that will help you bring your
Denise Woodard’s allergy-friendly cookie company, Partake Foods, stocks products in over 10,000 stores nationwide. But starting a snack business wasn’t on her radar early in her career. In fact, she didn’t realize it was an option for a Black and Asian-American woman like her. “When I was in college, my awareness of what career opportunities were possible in CPG [the
Working in HR or office management can feel a little bit like trying to read the minds of the employees around you. What do they actually want? What would boost their wellbeing? Make them smile? Keep them productive? You can’t really read your coworkers’ thoughts (at least not yet—someone is probably working on that) but there is a place you
When Stephen Menyhart was in college studying culinary nutrition, one of his professors, Janet Rouslin, told him something that stuck in his brain for years afterward. “She said, ‘Nutrition is the most widely discussed and poorly understood topic on Earth,’” he told The FruitGuys. “And [that statement] has rung true for the last twenty years of my own career. We
The buzz about return to office (RTO) is fading, but there are still plenty of companies quietly planning to bring their employees back to work in person. In September 2024, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy asked his team to be back at work five days a week starting in January 2025—and he’s not alone. According to a recent ResumeTemplates survey of
If you’re struggling to build healthy food habits, that doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It might just mean that the environment around you is setting you up to fail. I read about this recently in James Clear’s book Atomic Habits. He wrote about a hospital in Massachusetts that wanted to encourage its staff and patients to make better
Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year—National Fruit at Work Day! Every year on the first Tuesday of October, we’re honored to celebrate National Fruit at Work Day at The FruitGuys. It’s a holiday all about honoring the food that fuels our busy workdays. This year, we celebrated not only by bringing fruit to offices like yours
If you’re an HR professional, then you probably know how it feels to watch an employee teeter on the brink of burnout. It’s a scary feeling—but you can help prevent it. I know because putting that prevention in place is part of my job as the founder CEO of WellFests (a workday wellness program supplier). We have a lot of
In 2017, business partners Rip Pruskin and Marco De Leon walked into a factory in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, with smiles on their faces. They were there to flip the ceremonial switch on the production line for their cookie company, Rip Van. It was a huge moment. Not only would the move send Dutch stroopwafel cookies sailing down the line’s conveyor belt,
“What’s that noise?” My 8-year-old son asks. It’s almost pitch black as we walk across my in-laws’ front lawn in rural West Virginia. It’s 9:30 p.m. and we’re in a holler (a narrow valley between hills more commonly called a “hollow” outside of Appalachia) surrounded by the tall silhouettes of trees. I stop walking and listen, trying to figure out
