Breakfast :

Avocado toast, cream cheese, and soft-boiled egg

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of nordic bread

• 2 tbsp of cream cheese

• 1 avocado

• 2 eggs

Recipe :

1. Toast your bread slices to perfection and slice the avocado.

2. Generously spread cream cheese on the toasted bread, then delicately layer the sliced avocado on top.

3. For the perfect eggs, fill a saucepan with water and gently place the eggs in cold water. Once the water reaches a boil, set a timer for 6 minutes. As soon as the timer signals, transfer the eggs into a bowl of cold water to halt the cooking process and facilitate easy peeling. After peeling, slice the eggs in 2 and placed them on your prepared toast.

The advantages of having a gym at work

Studies have shown that practicing sport at their company premises helps reduce stress, fatigue and improves employee well-being. Unfortunately, yet not everyone has access to the right equipment or courses supervised by experts. Others don't even have time to get started because of time constraints. Also, a dedicated company Fitness is currently a real incentive to motivate your employees to be back in the office. This is why KINSIDE encourages companies to install and equip sports halls on their premises.

1. To participate in the physical well-being of employees: doing sports means ensuring good health, both physical and mental. It is important to allow everyone to participate in physical and sports activity, outside of their working hours.

2. To forge group cohesion: allowing employees to share a common activity such as sport will raise group and team cohesion. Used as a management tool, corporate sport enhances relationships at work.

3. To boost productivity: it is recommended to practice a physical and sports activity regularly. Several studies have shown that participating in a sports activity increases the productivity of an employee by 6 to 9%. It also helps gaining concentration, develops team spirit and helps surpassing yourself.

4. To save time for your employees: installing an in-house gym at your company will allow your employees to save time on their commute and for some even to avoid the hazards of everyday life (traffic jams, lack of space in a third-party gym and their excessive prices…).

5. To be supervised by professionals: KINSIDE makes sure to provide you with the best possible service and offers support by its experts in order to monitor your employees and ensure them optimal security.
