Facebook + website
Follow us on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/employeefoundation/
Website (www.employeefoundation.com):
Use Chrome - translation is possible
Use LOG IN at the website (deadlines, practice, campaign, communication about grants, logo etc.)
Presenter
Presentation Notes
We continue to try to be visible and accessible. We now have a Facebook page because Facebook is still a good way to reach both bluecollars and whitecollars in different countries. Facebook has a translation feature which is quite good. PLEASE follow us on FB. Website: Available in DK + UK. However, if you use Chrome as your browser, you have a translation possibility in the top right corner. Try it. If you like it, you can inform your employees. Finally, maybe you have already visited the LOG IN at our website. Here we have collected a lot of practical information which can help the recommendation committees: Deadlines, campaign materials, how to communicate grants etc.
Live a dream
• Postponement of Live a dream - volunteering for a construction project
Presenter
Presentation Notes
You may remember that we were excited to launch the possibility for employees to participate one week in a construction project in Romania as volunteers. Due to coronavirus, this has been postponed to 2021. Please do not forget. Now, we have the possibility to prepare even more and make internal “promotion” to employees. We expect deadline for applications for Live a dream – volunteering for a construction project to be in May 2021.
Healthy Habits Campaign – why?
Once again, the Employee Foundation launches a campaign to support our employees’ health and wellbeing. This year, we focus on our physical well-being.
• Promote healthy habits: This year, with focus on physical training
• Create awareness of the Employee Foundation
• Contribute to a feeling of pride of being part of the VKR Group
• Make YOU (local recommendation committees) visible at your location
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Now, it is time to inform you about the 3rd Healthy Habits campaign. The Employee Foundation campaigns are about proactive ways to improve our well-being. Physical training can be a mean to a good health and well-being. The Healthy Habits campaign also gives us the possibility to create awareness about the foundation, and hopefully, employees will get a feeling of pride of being part of the VKR Grouip. Finally, the process will give the local recommendation committee the possibility to be visible in your company.
Healthy Habits 2020 – What?
1 - Elastic bands and exercises for all employees
All employees will receive a small “training kit” with an elastic band and a small set of exercises to nudge them to exercise at work during a break or at home - or both.
2 - Company activities that support sleep, physical training, diet
In addition to the main campaign with elastic bands, the local recommendation committees can apply for supplemental activities for their locations; projects that support the employees’ health.
The local projects can be talks/seminars/classes/training
Presenter
Presentation Notes
This year’s campaign will be in two parts. We will send a small training kit to be distributed to all employees. The training kit consists of an elastic band and a set of training exercises. This is to nudge employees to exercise during breaks or at home – or both. Secondly, we will encourage you to think of and apply for additional internal company projects and activities that support sleep, physical training or diet.
