Vibrant, Wellbeing & Vitality
Vibrant, Wellbeing, Vitality as new magic words in the office of the future
Vibrant – Wellbeing – Vitality. Are these the new buzzwords for the office of the future? What is certain is that the underlying factor for these three buzzwords is sustainability, which serves as a fundamental principle. You read about this basic principle in all sorts of facets: sustainable in energy, sustainable in travel, sustainable in material use (no plastic, but paper…and preferably recycled). But why not be sustainable in our own way of working as well?
You spend a lot of time in the place where you work, so it's important that it truly does something for you. It's not just a sum of square meters and suspended ceilings, but a healthy place that cares for the individual. A healthy workplace inspires, motivates, and contributes to a positive atmosphere and a focus on results. After all, it doesn't stop when you close your own front door in the morning. Take care of your body and mind for the right work-life balance—in short, a sustainable approach to our own work lives.
In essence, Frame Offices builds its offices around the characteristics of vibrant, wellbeing, and vitality. And that this is indeed the case was confirmed by Savills , with our Pharos location in Hoofddorp in the Dutch rankings of the European research report: ranking first “Work There Wellbeing Report 2021” . Here, beetroot juice and basketball serve as solid metaphors for individual vitality. A zero-waste policy and the exclusive use of green energy guide the circular economy here. Collaboration, sharing, and encounters form the heart of a vibrant community at Pharos. Add all this together, and you have grasped the essence of workplace wellbeing.
For this reason, Frame Offices vibrant workplaces with a soul spread throughout the Netherlands, where people enjoy sitting down at their laptops, where your creativity is triggered daily, where you are challenged to think 'out of the box', and where you and your colleagues have energy left over for relaxation, laughter, reflection, and sportsmanship. Vibrant, wellbeing, and vitality ensure social cohesion and faster, better output in all our offices, thereby playing a crucial role in ensuring that you get the best out of your working self!
Beetroot juice and basketball
Eating what the land produces, or 'straight from the ground to the mouth' as it were, is the guiding principle of The Farm Kitchen, the local hospitality hero in Pharos. Hyper-local, it sources delicious and healthy food from farmers within a 20km radius. Healthy food leads to fewer afternoon slumps and higher productivity. For instance, Frame Offices collaborates with local hospitality heroes at various locations for seasonal lunches, breakfast delights, coffee baristas for the most beautiful art lattes, and smoothie studios. Let's be honest, a beetroot juice is refreshing and helps you stay productive throughout the day.
Staying fit with an office job often proves to be quite a challenge for employees. Yet, exercising is important for your own well-being as a professional. Not only because exercise contributes to physical fitness, but also to mental fitness, a good mood, long-term memory, and improved learning ability. After all, sport broadens the mind. With this in mind, Frame Offices involves gyms and fitness centers as partners in the setup of its locations. Everything is aimed at lowering the barrier to exercising as much as possible and breaking the cycle of sitting in a chair for hours. Frame Offices views working up a sweat together with your colleagues to redefine the term 'office body' as a basic service for an office community. Challenge each other to a game of basketball while you wait for the elevator. Such initiatives leiden to a true community hype, even including so-called 'in-house club championships'.
Wellbeing challenge
Speaking of 'challenging each other', Frame Offices' fostering a vibrant community promotes inspiring social cohesion and mutual collaboration. The Pharos location offers another great example of this. In the first quarter of 2022, a Water Challenge will be held here with the aim of making people aware of how much water they drink daily. This initiative comes from Vital Water, one of the tenants at this location. With tips and tricks, Vital Water ensures that people here don't drink too much, but especially not too little! This creates a special collaboration within this community, and Vital Water pulls out all the stops to keep people motivated. Frame Offices is also happy to help employees challenge themselves and bring out the best in themselves. When you enter or leave the office building with a smile, you know that a location works. Wellbeing for the individual comes first.
Zero waste, green energy and soundscaping
These days, we're all well aware that sustainability isn't a luxury. Smarter waste management, including office waste, is a necessity. Pharos has therefore adopted a Zero-Waste policy. Cradle-to-cradle office chairs, pens made from recycled PET bottles, donating used toners and ink cartridges to charity, and cleaner cleaning with environmentally friendly products—just to name a few. Using only green energy and a smart indoor climate also contribute to sustainability. A sustainable and pleasant work environment proves crucial to company culture. Plants enhance air quality, daylight acts as a preventative measure, soundscaping (noise reduction) boosts concentration, and why not try the Frame Offices bike for those sustainable kilometers? In short, optimal comfort in an energy-efficient way that contributes to our sustainable approach to work.
Work environments have a significant impact on individuals and organizations. Frame Offices understands better than anyone that creating an optimal work environment where people feel cared for and valued isn't easily achieved by every company. We consider it our specialty, and the diversity of our tenants demonstrates that no market discipline or company size can shy away from a work environment that focuses on the individual.
