There are many benefits to offering fresh fruit in the office and we at The Fruit Route believe we can provide your office with those benefits along with our leading customer service and simple ordering process.
Here are a few reasons your office and other leading companies look to us to offer fresh fruit and encourage a healthy lifestyle among employees:
Healthy Employees Healthy employees are a critical part of a successful business, especially as companies become increasingly demanding with respect to workload and working hours:
A regular intake of fresh fruit helps to raise energy levels and alertness, reduce the risk of illness and reduce the number of sick days.
By feeling healthy, employees will feel more positive about themselves and their work.
For maximum effect, fruit must be made available on workplace floors close to where employees work – if it is only available in ground floor coffee shops and food carts, consumption of fruit is significantly lower.
Happy Employees Providing fresh fruit at work is one of the most cost effective employee benefits available because it:
Increased job satisfaction.
Reduces absenteeism.
Improves corporate image and reputation.
Lower Health Insurance costs
Research shows 34 percent of the American workforce is obese and that obesity is associated with a 36 percent increase in spending on health care services -- more than smoking or problem drinking.
Lifestyle choices contribute to chronic illness -- and ultimately higher health insurance costs.
The heaviest employees file twice as many workers' comp claims than do normal weight employees, and their medical costs are seven times higher.
