Start-ups are known for ‘burning’ employees with their high-performance, high-pressure environments. Glacier, however, aims not only for a sustainable world, but also sustainable jobs. That makes the health of our team members very important to us.
In November 2021, our HR representative carried out Glacier’s first employee survey. While employee satisfaction with the atmosphere, current position and job benefits was fairly high (in all cases more than 4 out of 5 stars), 38% of the participants stated that they often feel stressed during the week. [Question: In a typical week, how often do you feel stressed? Responses: Very often (0%) – Often (38%) – Rarely (54%) – Never (8%).] That’s why we’re focusing more on mental health and stress reduction measures in 2022, and have begun doing weekly breathing exercises.
