ESS Makes a Splash: Diving into a healthier version with a swimming course!

With a focus on “healthy body and healthy mind,” our swimming course program has been making waves among our Steyr office employees. For five weeks, our 14 enthusiastic participants have been splashing their way to improved physical fitness and mental well-being at the ASKÖ Schwimmclub Steyr.

Guided by two experienced trainers, including the talented athlete Franz Pühringer, who competes at the national level, our employees have been immersed in an incredible swimming journey. From mastering floating techniques to perfecting freestyle, breaststroke, and backstroke, they have gained invaluable skills and boosted their self-confidence along the way.

Franz is also a passionate youngster interested in pursuing a degree in physics or mathematics. He will start an internship with us in June 2023 for three months, gaining practical experience in the corporate world. This internship opportunity is supported by the Austrian government, and we are excited to provide him with an environment where he can learn and grow. We are also hopeful that the swimming course extends the exposure we offer for the newest member.

At ESS, we firmly believe that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind, resulting in enhanced productivity and overall satisfaction. That’s why initiatives like the swimming course are at the core of our holistic approach to employee well-being. By encouraging physical activity, we create an energizing and positive work environment where everyone can thrive.

To celebrate the successful completion of the course and express our heartfelt appreciation to our trainers, we organized a vibrant social gathering at The Irish. This lively event was the perfect occasion for our employees to unwind, forge deeper connections, and share cultural experiences while enjoying good food and refreshing beverages. Laughter echoed, stories flowed, and a strong sense of camaraderie filled the air.

At ESS, we are dedicated to investing in our employees’ well-being, both inside and outside the workplace. By providing opportunities like the swimming course and organizing engaging social events, we cultivate a harmonious work-life balance and ensure that our team feels valued and supported.

So, let’s continue making waves together as we prioritize our health, nur
