Some companies are different, others even more. EclectiC has always been a company with a difference \u2013 in the most positive way. Clients realize that as much as employees do. It\u2019s the way of treating each other \u2013 employees, clients and candidates \u2013 that makes it a special proposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe unique character of a company is created by its people, but also by some lovely habits that develop over time and never really fade again.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These habits might have little meaning to most people but they are an inherent part of company life and team spirit. You might wonder what habits I am talking about. Well, it\u2019s nothing great and extraordinary. It\u2019s more a confirmation of the company\u2019s values translated into little cherished customs. EclectiC is a people company, so we try to make people happy while working. This counts for everyone we are dealing with and also for us as a team. Every time one colleague of ours introduces EclectiC to a potential new employee he speaks about the three fixed moments of a typical EclectiC working week that ideally every member of the team participates in: The Monday Morning Meeting (10 am), the Friday Afternoon Drinks (5 pm) and Lunch (at noon, sharp! :-)). Well this is all true, but there is something else that might be less ordinary: The after-lunch team walk!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Admittedly this habit is a bit dependent on the weather conditions, but it\u2019s kept up steadily throughout the year. How did it come up? EclectiC has been located in an old manor in the green suburbs of Breda for many years where the environment simply invited people to go outside and take a walk \u2013 after lunch mostly, but we have also had some \u201cwalking meetings\u201d in that times. Why did the management support it from the beginning on? Well, the health benefit of walking are quite obvious, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHealthy employees make stable companies.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The workout is good for people\u2019s bodies and brains. It supports the creativity, productivity and concentration of people. It makes people think broader because they leave their focused working area for quite a while in order to breathe and move. The best ideas typically come up while doing something else\u2026 the same principle applies here. Getting back to the office, people are re-energized, full of new thoughts and don\u2019t mind sitting for a longer period again. The balance is back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
