Health & well-being
Our investment in our employees' health and well-being is a long-term strategy to ensure the sustainability of our business and differentiate ourselves as “The happiest company to work for”.
Encourage healthy habits
We want to encourage healthy habits among our employees. We do so by providing various measures to support their physical well-being. Through ergonomic assessments, we help ensure that our workers can perform their jobs safely and comfortably, reducing the risk of injuries.
Moreover, we offer discounts at the VITA Groep swimming pools to encourage regular exercise.
As part of our commitment to promoting healthy and sustainable workplace practices, we provide healthy and nutritious food and beverage options. This includes the provision of fruit baskets in all of our offices, as well as the installation of six Dripl drink machines at various locations.
We also encourage the use of bikes. In 2023, we started offering bike leasing and discounts. More than 100 employees now ride a leased bike which will help decrease our carbon footprint and improve the health of our colleagues.
Fit at Cordeel
Sporting together has numerous benefits. It not only fosters relationships and improves team dynamics by building a sense of community and improving communication, but it can also reduce stress and boost energy levels, leading to enhanced mental well-being and increased productivity. Sporting together also provides a fun and enjoyable way for employees to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle, helping to reduce the risk of health problems and increase overall well-being.
In 2024 we participated in a number of runs in Belgium which led to many enthusiastic colleagues pushing their limits: 10 Miles in Antwerp as well as an urban run organised on the site of our headquarter in Cordeel.
To promote internal connection and friendly competition, we created an internal Strava group where the 120 members can view the performances of their colleagues and participate in competitions.
By providing these opportunities, we hope to encourage our employees to prioritise their physical well-being and enjoy the many benefits of engaging in sports with their colleagues.
Opening of running routes in Temse
In collaboration with Sport Vlaanderen and the municipality of Temse, Cordeel Group has opened two new running routes around its headquarters in Temse.
These routes, measuring 2.8 km and 5.4 km, are designed in line with Sport Vlaanderen’s guidelines, promoting safe and accessible running paths in both natural and urban areas.
During the official opening, attended by Sports Alderman Wim Van Rossen, Christoph Caluwé from Sport Vlaanderen, and Simon Maillet, around 50 colleagues took part in the inaugural run. Through this initiative, Cordeel aims to encourage physical activity among employees and local residents, fostering a healthier community.
