When you order fresh fruit from Fruitlift, you're making an investment in the overall health of your business.
A well trained and committed workforce is the starting point for any successful business. Virtually every annual report contains the statement ‘our people are our strongest asset’, or words to that effect. Yet in the past, few employers have actually truly understood the importance of the health and well-being of their people or invested in initiatives that promoted a healthy work environment.
Today, many employers recognise that they have a direct interest in creating an environment that helps people make healthy choices because of corporate social responsibility or because a healthier, more engaged workforce makes good business sense. Fruit in the workplace is just one method for a company to convey the message to employees that the company cares about them as individuals, not just as workers, and that the company values the service they provide.
From a business standpoint, improved health and well-being at work can lead to:
●
|
INCREASED EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY |
| ● |
REDUCED ABSENCE |
| ● |
LOWER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ILL-HEALTH |
●
|

|
IMPROVED PERCEPTIONS AND POSITIONING AS EMPLOYER OF CHOICE |
●
|

For employees, health has a number of benefits including:
●
|
