Tips for everyday office life

You can do a lot for more fitness and balance even in the hectic office life. Here are a few interesting facts and tips that you can easily integrate into your daily routine.

Nutrition tips

A healthy diet not only improves performance, but also increases well-being. With its extensive range of meals, our ESSZIMMER offers an ideal contribution to a healthy and balanced diet for our colleagues. But there is more to a balanced diet than just a healthy lunch. In general, the more varied your menu, the better the body's optimal supply of all vital nutrients is guaranteed.

Many of us may remember from our childhood the saying "In the morning like an emperor, at noon like a king and in the evening like a beggar". As old as this saying may be, it can still be a guide for our eating habits today. Breakfast in particular should not be neglected, because it is the first meal of the day and thus offers an ideal opportunity to recharge our batteries for a successful day at work.

You can eat cereals several times a day. Whole grain products are best, because they contain a lot of fiber, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Animal foods such as milk, meat and eggs should only be eaten in moderation, because otherwise you will consume too much fat and protein. If you like fish, you can treat yourself to a piece of it more often, because sea fish in particular is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which act like lubricants for our brain.

Fruit should be on our menu several times a day, because it is rich in vitamins and other valuable substances. After lunch, you can take an apple from the basket in the EATING ROOM.

No matter how hectic the workday may be, it is good to take your time when eating and enjoy it, because "well chewed is half digested".

Health management at LP also includes culinary care. You have to put together your own lunch menu in our ESSZIMMER - but we make sure that you always have options for a wholesome, low-calorie and varied meal.

Daily there are:

  • Salad bar
  • Fruit & Vegetables
  • Pasta
  • Organic-meat & Organic-fish

Ergonomics in the workplace

We all sit a lot at the computer but sitting is not just sitting. From a physiological point of view, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Upper arms should hang down loosely and forearms should form a horizontal line with the keyboard. Upper and lower arms should form an angle of 90 degrees or more.

The upper and lower legs should also form an angle of 90 degrees or more. It is best to place the feet in a full-face position.
Our desk chairs all have a dynamic backrest and seat, these are best used full-face for back and pelvic stabilization.

The distances between eyes and screen, keyboard and original should be between 45 and 60 centimeters. For screens from 17 inches and for large fonts, 60 to 80 centimeters are recommended.

VDU glasses

Procedure special monitor workstation glasses with appropriate indication

The necessity of VDU workstation glasses must be certified by our company physician Dr. Luick. LP contributes to the costs with a lump sum of 150.- EUR. Please contact Office Management for the processing.

Concentration

As we all know, it is not always easy to stay highly concentrated and efficient with the high demands of everyday work. Regular small breaks and a deep breath at the window can work wonders. Drinking is just as important as taking breaks. Our brain needs liquid for its function and therefore we should drink 1.5 -2 liters of liquid daily.

Noise Cancelling Headphones

Managers can request noise-canceling headphones for colleagues in open transit offices. Please note that if the requirements are no longer met (move to a closed office), the headphones must be returned.

For processing please contact our Office IT.

Energy sources

When all the energy ropes snap and you can't see any more land in the meantime, it can do you a world of good to take care of your vacation plans, for example, during your lunch break. How relaxing and beneficial it can be to think about a beautiful island in the South Seas for a short time and simply put everyday life aside and recharge your batteries for new challenges.
When planning their vacation, our employees have advantages because they enjoy discounts with the travel provider weg.de. (see also Benefits for LP employees)

For the lunch break, two professional soccer boxes are available in our club for a round of fun. If you'd rather get some fresh air, you can take a short relaxing walk in the nearby park.
