Purpose

With remote work being much more common, there’s an increased chance of an employee being static throughout the whole day. Parcero’s goal is to offer its employees a stable, just, and care-free environment, where moving together is easy. This can be prevented with the help of community-building exercise moments.

Results

A guided break exercise is a small act, yet it has an impact on individual well-being and community spirit of the entire company. In remote work, which has become more common as a result of the corona pandemic, the importance of joint break has been very impressive in terms of communication and mental health. According to Parcero employees, remote break exercises have brought variety to the company’s everyday life, which is good for the creative mind of marketing professionals: “Yes, it’s starting to smile and thoughts fly as all the co-workers, right down to the CEO, dance wildly to the pace of James Brown on their own computer screen.”

Implementation

Moving together is fun and easy. Yoga, stretching, bodyweight exercises, and even dance – all employees are equal during break times and the barrier of entry is minimal. Parcero encourages movement with guided break exercises!
