Table tennis, golf and rowing on offer in employer's wellbeing programme

A governing body has taken an active interest in it's staff's interest in staying active, with the introduction of new employee wellbeing benefits.

The Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) is advocating table tennis as a means of helping staff relax during breaks as well as providing an engaging office activity. With the support of Table Tennis England, CILEx hopes that the new perk will help improve employee satisfaction, “bringing teams together, breaking down departmental barriers and encouraging interaction amongst workers.”

Mandie Lavin, Chief Executive of CILEx, is firmly believes that employee benefits have a positive impact on retention and morale. She explains: “At CILEx we are passionate about staff wellbeing and support ideas that enhance the working environment for our employees.

“In addition to taking part in the Loop initiative, we have also joined up to the Workplace Challenge scheme. Since joining Workplace Challenge earlier this year, employees have already taken part in golf, rowing and tennis competitions with other local businesses. Not only does this give employees a chance to learn and take part in a new activity but brings colleagues together from across the organisation.
