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
One thing I love about being part of a food company is the amazing people I get to meet. Early on in my career with The FruitGuys, I was so excited and proud to explore the often-hidden world of produce. I felt giddy over early morning trips to the market in Philadelphia and visits with farmers who walked me through
Early Bird Foods & Co. is a nearly 20-year-old company. Its granola is a favorite of Martha Stewart, scored a feature in The New York Times, and even helped inspire the house granola at the Michelin-starred restaurant Eleven Madison Park. But despite this success, the brand doesn’t have a bustling office and a big staff. Instead, Nekisia Davis (Nick-EE-sha) and
Have you heard of The Perk Paradox? In the age of return-to-office efforts, it’s sneaking into almost every workplace and HR department like a kid on the hunt for a cookie jar. The Perk Paradox is another name for the give-and-take relationship between offering workplace perks (like a healthy and delicious office snack program) and sticking to a tight budget.
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
I had the pleasure of visiting some of our Midwest clients last week. They were so generous with their time, showing me around their offices and explaining how they use our fruit. I noticed a common theme as the day went on: Bananas are the office favorite, and everyone has a favorite banana color. Personally, I like to eat bananas
When you need to rev up your brain for a long work day, go for a high-fiber breakfast. It will focus your mind and, according to the Cleveland Clinic, help lower your cholesterol, which is great news for long-term heart health. One of my favorite high-fiber breakfasts for spring is this granola cereal bowl topped off with fresh fruit. It
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
Last week, I flew to New York to attend the Society for Hospitality and Foodservice Management’s Critical Issues Conference. I had a great time meeting other food service providers and partners at the one-day event and listening to them share best practices for the industry. One of my favorite sessions was a panel discussion featuring registered dietitians and nutritionists in
In some ways, Alex Duong’s cracker brand, Fair & Square, is a metaphor for his Asian American identity. He grew up eating Chinese food at big family potlucks, and those memories helped inspire his company’s gluten-free snacks for the office break room. His crackers are organic, dairy-free, and allergy-friendly—so almost everyone can enjoy them. But Alex is quick to admit
In a viral TikTok video, fitness influencer Jeffrey Harris dumps strawberries, blueberries, and grapes into bowls. He fills the bowls with water and tops them off with a mix of apple cider vinegar and baking soda. A quick cut later, the water is so brown it makes him grimace. That’s probably the moment when more than 1 million people hit
In the modern workplace, more companies are prioritizing sustainability alongside productivity, and employee preferences are spurring them on. A 2023 Deloitte survey found that more than two–thirds of employees prefer to work for environmentally responsible companies. If your office is moving in a greener direction, engaging in Earth Day office activities is a great way to reinforce that commitment. Why
Until 2019, Bryan Flynn thought that most plastic snack packaging was recyclable. Then, he and his wife Kate cofounded the snack company Sun & Swell, and he discovered the truth: Almost every trail mix bag and snack bar wrapper they made would end up in the landfill. “It was kind of a chilling moment for us,” he told The FruitGuys.
Wondering how to wow your colleagues at the next office extravaganza? Try using fresh fruit from your FruitGuys box (or the grocery store) to create memorable, enticing fruit platters. They’ll encourage healthy eating in the workplace, and you might even get your “fifteen minutes of fame.” Jeanette Mendez, the production supervisor of The FruitGuys’ Chicago facility, loves cutting and arranging
When Gael Orr was a little girl in the 1970s, her mother came home from the grocery store in the tiny town of Nunda, New York, with something special: a jar of organic almond butter made by the local company Once Again Nut Butter. Her mother was thrilled with her find, and Gael ate Once Again’s organic almond and peanut
When people find out that I work for a fruit company, their next question is often, “So what are the health benefits of fruit, really?” It’s easy to talk about the physical benefits: Fruit boosts our digestion with fiber, strengthens our immune system with vitamins, and protects our cells from oxidation with antioxidants. But I’ve started to go in a
This week marks twenty-seven years since The FruitGuys—and the concept of corporate fruit delivery—was born. The story goes that my brother, Chris, and his wife, Pia, had recently moved back to San Francisco. It was the height of the dot-com boom. Chris was 28 years old, Pia was pregnant, and he was running faxes (delivering papers from those old-fangled machines
