GUNA® Inc's Innovative Lifestyle, The Lifestyle Your Company Needs!
WHITEHALL, Pa., Sept. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies in the biotechnological field are naturally invested in health care and extend benefits to workers, but GUNA® Inc. is taking investments to a new level. GUNA® Inc. created a lifestyle to invite coworkers to participate in physical activity during the work day, outside of their lunch breaks.
Carmen Gerardi started the initiative and believes it goes a long way toward building trust, fostering collaboration and boosting productivity by showing an investment in the entire person."This is a way to build trust. Freedom comes with trust." Gerardi says.
The GUNA® team is encouraged to keep gym clothes at work and to take a break when the fever hits. They can be found walking, running, biking on the local trail and are recognized by their black GUNA® t-shirts worn with pride. A big red heart is illustrated on the front, representing the passion for the brand. The side of the shirt has the word "GUNA®" and "Omeosport™" is displayed on the back to show GUNA®'s flagship product. The GUNA® team can always be seen with a smile on their face and the desire to succeed in their eyes.
One room at GUNA® is devoted to gym equipment. It's here where the team starts the morning with meditation, workouts and also exercises with a personal trainer twice a week. Presently, international triathlon competitor, Roger Girard, is training the GUNA® team for the Philadelphia marathon.
While the focus on fitness has been at the forefront, it also highlights the company's unconventional structure that differs greatly from what corporate offices are used to. Gerardi, originally from Italy, sees a difference in this country's corporate focus on individualistic models of business, whereas companies overseas are more team-oriented. "Personal success can only evolve through the success of the company; therefore, a strong team focus is crucial for a thriving company" Gerardi says.
At GUNA®, coworkers are encouraged to collaborate, problem-solve, take initiative and take on leadership roles. There are no time clocks because delivering results is what counts.
GUNA® translates its fitness focus to the innovative products they produce. The company provides low dose pharmaceuticals ranging from sports medicine, pain management, beauty creams and cold & flu remedies. Call 1-888-GUNATel or visit gunainc.com to learn more about GUNA® and their products.
