Relaxation over the Christmas holidays

Why conscious relaxation is part of our corporate culture and how we give employees space for balance, health, and new energy.

For many people, the Christmas holidays mark the transition between a busy year and a new chapter. They offer an opportunity to pause, recharge your batteries, and start the coming year with renewed energy. For us as a company, this period is more than just a holiday break: it is an important part of a healthy and sustainable work culture.

Recovery as the basis for long-term performance

In an increasingly dynamic working world, motivation, creativity, and performance depend largely on genuine recovery. Those who take regular breaks can work with greater focus, make better decisions, and stay healthy in the long term. That's why we don't consider recovery a luxury, but a basic requirement for successful work.

Trust instead of constant availability

For us, the Christmas holidays represent trust. We encourage our employees to really use this time to relax—without being constantly available and without pressure to perform. Clear substitution rules and open communication create the space to switch off and recharge your batteries.

Time for what matters

Whether it's time with family and friends, exercise in the fresh air, or simply rest and relaxation – recreation is different for everyone. A modern corporate culture recognizes that people have different needs. We promote this diversity by embracing flexibility and putting people at the center.

Mindfulness and health as a shared responsibility

Health and well-being are integral parts of our employer philosophy. Especially around the holidays, we would like to remind you to be mindful of your own resources. Getting enough sleep, mindful enjoyment, and taking short breaks in your daily routine help to keep your body and mind in balance.

Starting the new year with renewed energy

Well-rested employees start the new year more motivated, creative, and resilient. This energy not only has a positive effect on personal well-being, but also on teamwork, innovation, and shared success. That's why we see rest as an investment – in our employees and in the future of our company.

Our understanding of good work

Good work happens when performance and humanity go hand in hand. The Christmas holidays remind us how important balance, appreciation, and trust are—values that we should live by not only during this time of year, but throughout the entire year.

We wish all employees and partners a restful Christmas and a healthy start to the new year.
