How this is happening at Foodles ?
Alison, our Happiness & Office Manager, has curated a special program to celebrate QLWC during this dedicated well-being week.
At our headquarters in Clichy, a series of activities are planned to pamper our Gourmils and provide moments of relaxation and well-being. We kick off the week with seated massage sessions offered by Yoburo. These massages, conducted on ergonomic chairs, are perfect for relieving stress, fatigue, and muscular tension. They also help correct poor posture, contributing to better physical health on a daily basis.
An "Eye Yoga" workshop led by Yoburo will also be offered. This workshop aims to reduce eye strain caused by prolonged screen use. Through simple eye relaxation exercises that are easy to replicate, our Foodlers will learn how to quickly relax their eyes, whether at the office or at home.
On Thursday, we're excited to welcome Joanne Ayache, a life coach specializing in laughter therapy, for a workshop titled "Laughter to Recharge in a Playful and Innovative Way." Joanne will show us how laughter can be more than just a joyful reaction. This workshop promises to be a joyful wellness moment, ideal for relieving stress, boosting morale, and strengthening bonds among Gourmils.
Logistically, our Operational Gourmils won't miss out during this special week. Seated massage sessions will also be provided for our operational teams. These massages will help our operational teams relax and relieve accumulated tension, thereby enhancing their overall well-being. Following that, we'll organize a "Back Relief" workshop with Yoburo. This workshop will teach our employees relaxation and stretching exercises to alleviate back pain. By learning better back care techniques, our teams can improve their posture and reduce backaches, which is crucial for those who spend long hours standing or moving.
In addition to on-site activities, Alison has arranged online conferences to allow all our employees to participate, no matter where they are. A conference on sleep will be conducted in French by Yoburo, followed by an English session for our teams in London. These conferences will cover the importance of good sleep management and offer practical advice on sleep physiology, nutrition, and physical activity.
Finally, Joanne Ayache will host a conference titled "Laughter, Serving Your Well-being and Performance" in French. This conference will explore the benefits of laughter and how it can be used to enhance well-being and performance at work.
The QLWC week at Foodles demonstrates our deep commitment to the well-being of our Foodlers. By implementing a variety of activities, we provide our employees with the tools they need to improve their physical and mental health at work! And it's truly priceless!!
