Once again, this year, the “Wellness Month” was successfully completed — an initiative under the "Ef Zin" (Wellbeing) program, implemented by the Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility Department of the Fourlis group. The program aims to promote the health, wellbeing, and mental balance of employees.
As in previous years, May was designated as “Wellness Month” at Fourlis group, during which more than 890 employees actively participated in a series of activities designed to rejuvenate both body and mind, fostering a sense of care, relaxation, and personal wellbeing.
From headquarters of the group in Kifissia to IKEA stores in Athens (Kifissos & Airport), Thessaloniki, Patras, Ioannina, and Larissa, as well as the Trade Logistics facilities in Schimatari and Oinofyta, employees had the opportunity to engage in a wide range of activities. These included therapeutic massage sessions with experienced specialists, body composition measurements, yoga and meditation sessions, hand and foot decompressing treatments, and Smoothies Corner offering healthy and energizing beverages.
The Wellness Month activities were designed not only to provide immediate physical revitalization but also to lay the foundation for long-term lifestyle improvements and support.
Ms. Lyda Fourlis, Director of Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility at Fourlis group, stated: "Caring for the health and mental wellbeing of our people is a constant priority for Fourlis group. Through the ‘Ef Zin’ program, we create opportunities for our employees to reconnect with themselves, improve their daily lives, and adopt more balanced habits. The high level of participation and the positive impact of this year’s Wellness Month encourage us to continue investing in the wellbeing of our people."
The "Ef Zin" program, consistently implemented since 2010, is a core pillar of Fourlis group sustainability and corporate responsibility strategy. It contributes to shaping a work environment that cares for, supports, and empowers its people.
