Wellbeing at Quooker: staying active, eating well and unwinding

The wellbeing of our colleagues comes first at Quooker. That is why we have a wellbeing programme focusing on three areas: exercise, healthy eating and relaxation. Our wellbeing calendar offers a range of activities throughout the year, all starting directly after work. From yoga and boxing to a cooking workshop, games night or Bob Ross-style painting.

Something for everyone, directly after work Bootcamps, yoga, boxing, padel, running, HYROX and bouldering: there is plenty to choose from for anyone who enjoys being active. But wellbeing is about more than exercise. That is why the calendar also includes relaxing and creative activities, such as graffiti and cooking workshops, games nights and Bob Ross-style painting workshops. All activities start directly after work, making it easy for colleagues to join in and end the working day together. They are led by a mix of external professionals and enthusiastic colleagues.

Those who prefer to exercise in their own time can make use of our sports allowance. Quooker contributes €25 per month towards regular sports expenses. We also offer a cycle-to-work scheme for colleagues who enjoy commuting by bike.

Colleagues leading the sessions Kim, a Tactical Buyer at Quooker, teaches yoga classes after work. It all started when the regular yoga instructor was unable to attend and Kim spontaneously took over the class. Her colleagues enjoyed it so much that they asked when she would teach them again. ‘For me, yoga is the perfect way to unwind after a working day,’ says Kim. ‘Having a good stretch after sitting at your computer all day is so good for your body.’

Steven, our Field Service Coordinator, also shares his sporting experience with colleagues. During his boxing classes, colleagues learn how to punch and kick safely. No previous experience is needed. The focus is on technique, getting moving and blowing off some steam after a busy day at work. All the necessary equipment is provided, so colleagues do not need to bring anything themselves.

‘You feel fitter and more relaxed, and you get to do something fun with your colleagues.’

A focus on healthy eating Healthy eating is the third pillar of our wellbeing programme. Throughout the year, we provide a fresh and affordable lunch, including sandwiches and salads. Free fruit is also available every day. During our annual Healthy Eating Week, we pay extra attention to making healthy choices. The programme changes each year. Previous editions have included a healthy breakfast, vegetable boxes and a question-and-answer session with a nutritionist.

This makes it easy to get moving, unwind or do something enjoyable together after work. Good for you and good for team spirit.
