Healthy eating also receives attention. “Not in a preachy way, but in an inspiring way,” says Daniëlle. “At lunch there are snacks, but also always healthy sandwiches and salads. You can grab fruit for free throughout the day.” Recently it was “Nutrition Week.” “During that week we provide a good breakfast, but also vegetable packages so employees can easily cook a healthy meal at home. We also invited a nutritionist whom employees could consult with questions about food and nutrition.”

Another nice benefit is the social aspect, Daniëlle explains. “On the work floor you notice colleagues looking for each other to chat about the padel match from the evening before. Or they start making new plans together. For example, last year a colleague came up with the idea for a Quooker Run & Ride: a walking and cycling tour from our factory in Ridderkerk to our warehouse in Rotterdam, either on foot or by bike. It was a really fun event where colleagues from different departments participated. Some colleagues are also training together for the Rotterdam Marathon. The sense of togetherness this creates is very characteristic of Quooker!”
