Fika-moment met je collega's

 

Sweden is not only the country of ABBA, kötbullar and beautiful nature. It is also the home of a healthy office ritual that we at JustBite really believe in: Fika! The break time they all go for in Sweden.
And if we want to achieve one thing, it is that people can consciously and healthily enjoy their break time with a healthy, tasty snack.

Stop! Fika-time!

So what is this Fika and why do Sweden swear by it so much?

In a nutshell, Fika is deliberately stopping your activities and taking a short break away from your desk, enjoying a cup of coffee or tea and something tasty.

But it's also so much more than that! It is a planned moment to really take a break, together with friends and/or colleagues. It gives you a chance to take a healthy break and really connect with others. It gives your body and mind a well-deserved break to then be able to continue working with full concentration, refreshed and invigorated.

But it also offers you and your employees a moment of reflection and the opportunity to clear your heads. And so there is room for fresh, brilliant and fantastic ideas!

By the way, we spoke earlier with Lesley Arens about the importance of such an informal break in our podcast and the importance of Fika in this.

Healthy fika-ing

Our mission is to get everyone to Fika, but the healthiest version ever. We're ditching the kanelbullar and offering you a healthy Fika version because office breaks don't have to be stuffed with sugary snacks and the accompanying sugar highs and lows.

With our boxes for the office, we make it super easy to offer your employees a healthy snack. In fact, we do the selection for you and only the snacks that meet our strict selection criteria are allowed to indulge our clients. This way, you can be sure that you can easily offer your employees a healthy alternative. So clearly show your employees that you value them and attach importance to their health and well-being.

We want to provide you with the tools to help your employees easily choose a healthy lifestyle and start enjoying their break time more consciously. We do this not only with our boxes, but also with fun information cards on healthy food in each box and with our pause & learn workshops. During these workshops we give your employees practical information about healthy food and healthy breaks in a fun way, accompanied by a tasty and healthy snack of course!

Why are healthy breaks so important?

By giving your body healthy snacks and consciously making time for a break, you ensure that you give yourself the right energy to pop without peaks and troughs and with full concentration. By consciously taking breaks and connecting informally with others, you also give your mind a chance to briefly recharge.

Taking healthy breaks helps to: 

  • boost productivity
  • increase well-being at work
  • reduce stress levels

    And it's just really fun, too! 🤩

    The short- and long-term benefits of healthy eating are so great that it's worth making a step-by-step change for yourself and your employees.

    We would like to give you a hand with this, by making your employees and yourself a little healthier, break after break. So go for a healthy Fika moment with your employees too!
