Forest Office: A Startup Brings the Office into Nature
The working world with its familiar forms of work is changing. In the wake of new work, home offices, agile working, co-working spaces and the four-day week, innovative companies are thinking hard about the workplace of the future. Why not move the office into the forest? A startup makes this possible.
Work more productively, hold more focused meetings, communicate in a more relaxed manner and regenerate more quickly. These are just some of the obvious advantages that the workplace for knowledge workers in the forest promises. Peter Fibich and Roland Lüthi, the founders of the forest office, have been spending a significant part of their working time in the forest for quite some time. Enthusiastic about the possibilities and benefits of their experiences from office work days, meetings, seminars and team events in various forests, they now offer their experiences and services as a forest office to innovative companies throughout Switzerland.
Pioneers in forest office
The forest office offers fully equipped digital "plug in & work" workstations as well as customized workshop settings for special meetings in a unique forest atmosphere. According to its own information, this offer is unique in Switzerland. Depending on the task, weather or mood, each employee can work indoors in the spacious, cozy forest house or outside under trees in the great outdoors. Nothing is missing: Connected to the world via W-LAN and equipped with the necessary office supplies, working in this environment becomes a special experience. Especially when a meeting or seminar is scheduled, flipchart and pinboard are also helpful presentation aids.
Forest concierge guarantee all-inclusive service
Two standard offers for teams of up to 15 people and special individually plannable forest office offers leave hardly any wishes unfulfilled. As forest concierge, the experienced team from the forest office ensures that nothing is missing when working in this special natural environment. All-inclusive means that wi-fi is available at every workstation indoors and, of course, outdoors, or that team members are greeted with a wonderfully fragrant coffee as soon as they arrive.
Occupational health management strengthens resilience
The two certified forest mindfulness trainers and event professionals place particular emphasis on the demonstrably positive effects that the forest has on the physical and mental health of the new "forest workers". Through their experience as forest bathing coaches and as mindfulness and resilience trainers, they know how to tangibly communicate the power of nature and the forest. As a member of various associations in the fields of mental health and occupational health management, they pass on their experience and know-how to all participating persons within the framework of the offers through deliberately embedded relaxation and activation sessions.
Rounding off work in the forest office with culinary delights
Another experience of a special kind is conjured up by the forest and fire cooks for morning meals, lunch, aperitifs or dinner on the table. Natural dishes of local origin are prepared, seasoned, baked, braised, stewed, roasted or smoked in front of the guests. Upon request, unimagined food creations with a forest connection are served.
Of course, these offers are bookable all year round, by the day or week and absolutely independent of weather conditions.
