Making staff wellness a priority

As one of the easiest methods of proving you care about staff wellness, a fresh fruit basket is easily seen by all and serves as a visible reminder that your company cares.

It acts as a point of conversation and improves the image of your company, while improving your reputation and standing with your employees. Many employees eat at their desk or on the run, and by providing them with a delicious and healthy alternative to vending machine snacks and fast food, you can give them the healthy energy boost they need.

This benefits your workplace too, resulting in better immune systems and fewer sick days for staff. Due to the placement of fresh fruit in offices, Fruitful Office found that 45% of staff were eating fewer unhealthy snacks, and, better yet, 70% of staff started eating more fruit!
