Nowadays, employees spend many hours a day at the workplace. For Coca-Cola, it is important the workplace to provide employees with the infrastructure, procedures and policies that allow them to relieve the pressure of work and follow a balanced and healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and making physical exercise part of their daily life. The Wellness at Work program promotes caring for the physical and mental health of employees, in order to achieve a better quality of life and balance personal and professional time.
All employees of The Coca-Cola Company in Greece.
Ongoing.
With the motto "Live Life Well", the program is structured in 4 key categories:
Each category includes individual actions that change to adapt to the year’s season (winter/summer) and also change on a regular basis, so that there is always something new and different to motivate employees. More specifically:
1. Balance between work and personal life
No dress code: At Coca-Cola there is no dress code and choosing the right clothes for the right place or occasion (such as a business meeting) is up to each employee, according to his or her personality, taste and lifestyle.
2. My nutrition
Nutritional advice: Coca-Cola offers to its employees and their families access to nutritional counselling services at their workplace, offered by specialized nutritionists. These services involve an assessment of their nutritional profile, body fat and BMI measurements, meal plans, weight monitoring etc. Twice a month, employees can book a personal appointment with the specialized counsellor, in an area that has been specifically set up for that purpose within the Company premises.
Restaurant: The Company provides a dedicated food area that has been specifically set up for that purpose within its premises. The menu offered is overseen by a team of nutritionists and a diet menu is also available as an option.
Snack corners: For those who have no time to enjoy a full breakfast at home or want a light snack in the afternoon, there are special areas offering fresh fruit and juice, rusks, crackers, honey, jam and light butter.
3. My physical and mental well-being
Massage sessions: The Company offers to each employee a 20-minute massage session once per month, for those parts of the body that are more heavily stressed by office work, such as the neck, head, wrists and back. Sessions take place at the Company’s medical office every Thursday, between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm, and are provided by specialized professionals.
Physical activity allowance: Coca-Cola offers an annual allowance of €350 to each employee towards expenses for their own physical activity, including gym subscriptions, sporting activities such as trekking, hiking, tennis lessons, personal training services and so on.
4. Caring for my health
Medical support: The premises of The Coca-Cola Company include a special area where the company doctor sees employees twice per month, for providing advice on any medical issues that may concern them.
Annual Check-Up: In partnership with medical centers, Coca-Cola offers comprehensive medical check-ups to its employees.
Enhanced ergonomics: Coca-Cola has secured ergonomic office chairs for its employees and computer monitors that are height-adjustable to perfectly suit each employee.
