We made a command decision about the kind of atmosphere we want in our group of businesses. They’ve got to be Chill. It is a fact that happy and relaxed team members are the best kind to have working for any company we can think of. With that in mind, we want to take strides towards helping our businesses and offices to have a more fun, relaxed, and ultimately chill atmosphere.
The first step to making this vision a reality was to provide a ChillOut Lounge to the Chicago Branch and Central office of Everest Snow Management. The lounge was designed to be a place of calm where team members can escape to let their minds and bodies relax during a hard day of work. One team member said, “it feels more like you’re stepping into a high-end spa than a room in an office space.” Relaxation starts with changing the sign on the door from “Open for Business” to “Relaxation in Progress.” Once inside you have a quiet space where you can listen to some relaxing music or just the trickle of the water fountain, use some aromatherapy candles & incense, and lay back in the amazing massage chair. With all of these things put together, it’s hard to imagine anyone not being able to strip the stress away from their day the moment they step through the door.
We plan to bring versions of the ChillOut Lounge to other branches of Everest Snow Management. The ‘Chill’ movement will also be expanded into other fun features yet to be imagined that will be added as we think of them.
