All of us can easily list our favorite reasons for living and working here in Colorado. This lifestyle mirrors the culture of our workplace. Owners and managers know the importance of setting the tone and creating a culture that adds to the happiness of their employees. This is what we see in our customers around town to create smiles at the office.
Running, hiking and biking as a break time activity
With the abundance of sunshine and trails we have in Colorado, many of us like to get outside during our breaks and move our bodies. Many office buildings have a specific place for people to change in and out of their running or biking clothes. Plus, a designated place to park bikes (indoor and outdoor) eliminates cyclists rolling through the office scuffing the walls with their bike tires or leaving a trail of dirt behind.
Pets welcomed in the office
Studies have found that employees that bring their pets to work experience less stress throughout the work day. Offices that allow well-behaved dogs usually have available towels and “pet spotter” just incase they decide to leave their mark. Also, having a special pet bed keeps the dog hair centralized into one place for a quick vacuum.
People who have their dogs at work often take this opportunity to walk, run or hike with them during breaks. Having a back door and “mud room” with towels to use can come in handy when you return back to the office with muddy paws!
Workout rooms and showers are a great perk
When the weather isn’t co-operating for outdoor play, you might be lucky enough to have a place to exercise inside your building. As most gyms request, wiping down equipment after use is important to prevent the spread of germs. We also find it helpful when employees bring along their own towel and shower caddy to keep all of their personal belongings together as they dash back to their desks.
In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed. They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it. –J. Ruskin
