Here at Beelineweb, we not only strive for a positive work
environment, but we strive for healthy, happy individuals that make up our
team! Some of the health initiatives that we offer our team include optional 30-minute
fitness breaks daily, personal training sessions, adjustable, stand-up desks (if desired), personal days (instead of sick days), and organic fruit and teas.
Several years ago, before we were in our new office
(pre-2009), we read studies that stated 30 minutes of exercise
during the workday increased productivity. So we offered everyone the option to
use 30 minutes of their workday for fitness activities. Our fitness initiative
went so well that we built a full gym in our new office consisting of multiple
cardio machines, free weights, bosu balls, exercise balls, a squat rack, and
more so that individuals can use them throughout their workday. While the
fitness initiative is optional, we are proud to say we have 100% participation!
Since we realized that not everyone necessarily knows HOW to
work out, a few years ago we started offering an optional hour of
one-on-one personal training time every week. Almost our whole team has decided
to train with our AWESOME personal trainer, Sarah Fraser, from Crave Fitness. Each week, Sarah spends an hour of one-on-one time, with each participating team member, to help them meet their fitness
goals.

Additionally, with our focus on pro-active health, we
decided to implement personal days (instead of sick days) with the idea
that while it is inevitable that some people will get sick from time to time,
not everyone does. So now, team members have 6 days a year that they can use for sick days, or they can use them as guilt-free days off to do something
healthy – like snowboarding, training, etc.
