In a world that is always changing and evolving, in which everything goes faster (transportation, media, etc.), we sometimes feel like we\u2019re undertaken and are missing simple moments of our life. We need to slow down \u2026 hurrah for Slow Life*!\r\n\r\nThe Slow Life movement is rich and we won\u2019t describe it in this post. We are going to focus on how companies consider well-being at work for its staff, and how brands care for the consumers\u2019 one.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Who\u2019s never heard of stress at work, burn-out or even bore-out? Employees are under pressure. Companies are increasingly aware of this discontent and mobilize to fight this 21st<\/sup> century suffering. For human and social reasons first, but also for economic reasons\u2026<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Because, as a Forbes article mentioned it: \u201cWe\u2019re at the beginning of a sea-change in attitudes toward work. So shorter work weeks and Slow Cities won\u2019t be mainstream tomorrow. But there are plentiful signs of the shift. Sweden has moved to the six-hour work day. Imaginative U.S. companies such as 37signals and Treehouse have put in place and maintained four-day weeks, noting an improvement in staff retention and output quality. Even Carlos Slim, the world\u2019s richest person, has recently called for a 3-day work week and Google is increasingly experimenting in lowering hours and thus increasing employee creativity and efficiency.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Have more time for oneself and for our friends and family, go to \u201ctech rehab\u201d are needs that we all feel once in our life. This Slow Life<\/em> website very well described it: \u201cMost of us today are consumed with speed. We work<\/em> quickly, play quickly, love quickly \u2013 all while multi-tasking. We drive in the fast lane and eat fast food. We text instead of talk, pursue quantity instead of quality, and swallow life whole instead of taking the time to savor it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

In ESII, we\u2019ve understood this \u2026 beyond managing waiting lines, we do our best to improve visitors and customers\u2019 well-being. We take their time, stress and priorities into account so they have a smoother visit and pleasant experience.<\/strong> Indirectly, we help facilities (stores, administrations, pharmacies, hospitals, etc.) to improve their customers\u2019 life quality and thus the trust they share. For instance, among the top 15 worldwide and French brands that are the more influent on the French people\u2019s life quality, 3 are ESII\u2019s customers (Havas Group survey, LSA article<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
