“Without each one of the Staples / Marke team, our go live launch date would not have been possible. The team showed true dedication and determination. The time and effort put in was just amazing. The professionalism and the endless hours spent was impressive.
It feels good to operate with a team that is so self-reliant and motivated and who, despite having a busy schedule, made the project look easy. The amount of effort that the team put into the job to complete it was tremendous. The energy levels and the sincerity which was displayed were exemplary. You not only motivate others but also push them to give their all at work. I am so blessed to have been able to work with all of you.”
“We work closely with Marke Creative due to their expert local market knowledge and flexibility to react to local market conditions, giving us an advantage to offer a market-specific range while reacting to any potential issues effectively for our dealers and end-customers. The Marke Creative team represent many of our core values: by challenging the norm and continually offering a range that excites and ignites the brand passion. Having worked with Marke Creative for a number of years, the team’s passion for what they do shows through in everything they do.“
“My experience with Marke Creative representatives is that they always go above and beyond. Communication is great. If something is out of stock, or the lead time may take longer than average, they always source a great alternative for me. The team are very knowledgeable about their products. In light of this, I have found that the quality of the products has been superb.”
“We were particularly impressed by the level of commitment and professionalism that characterises the organisational culture at Marke Creative. We also recognise and admire Marke Creative’s passion for sustainability which was the theme of our event.”
“Your support, ideas, thinking and can-do attitude enabled us to develop a sustainable solution our exec team were happy to stand behind and also one we could use across our 3000 convenience store estate.”
Employee Wellness Incentives and Rewards for a Healthy Work-life Balance
May 19, 2021
In the WFH era, the lines between work and life can be easily blurred. This can affect wellbeing and increase stress, affecting productivity and motivation levels. This is where employers have an opportunity to lead by example and encourage those around them to develop healthy lifestyle habits. It’s easy enough to say you care about your staff but how can you show them?
Offering wellness-related incentives and rewards to your employees will demonstrate you really care about their wellbeing. When you prioritize and value wellness at work, people will understand its importance and adapt their lifestyle for the better. Any benefits will be experienced by everyone involved (including yourself), contributing to a healthier and happier workforce.
Workplace wellness programmes are becoming more popular. Once you encourage healthy behaviours in the workplace, stress decreases and productivity can increase. Incentives and rewards can include gift cards, fitness trackers and merchandise to support exercise. See our ideas* below on how you can use wellness-related incentives and rewards to maintain employee wellbeing in the long-run.

Set aside 30 minutes of the workday to spend on exercise
Encourage your staff to take breaks and short walks to give their eyes a rest from the computer screen. This can increase productivity and motivation. Why not suggest a walking meeting?
Provide your staff with healthy snacks. From granola bars to fresh fruit and veg, healthy snacks mean your employees will be less likely to snack on lots of sugary drinks and snacks.
Introduce five-minute scheduled mindfulness sessions at the start of the day to ensure everyone is focused and calm
Include branded fitness trackers and merchandise into your wellness incentives
Run wellness challenges or competitions to foster team building and motivate your team to work together to reach their health and fitness goals. Why not include these challenges into your monthly newsletter to ensure employee wellness is always a priority?
Give your employees some designated time off for wellness with ‘wellness days’. Consider introducing volunteering days to improve mood while contributing to good causes
Send out treat boxes or packages filled with sweet treats (in moderation of course!) to lift spirits and encourage your staff to take some time out
Lastly, while your employees work from home, you can support them with comfortable apparel for a productive workday. See our full WFH Apparel Range.
