General
People these days spend more and more time sitting, especially in the office, where most work in front of a PC with bad posture for hours on end. Unfortunately, as a software company, we also struggle with this. We are trying to battle this problem in different ways. During our renovation in 2018, all desks were equipped with height-adjustable tables and ergonomic chairs. Since the beginning of the year, we also offer internal yoga sessions for employees. The yoga course is taught by the Dortmund based Bozena Bartnik (https://www.yogabozenabartnik.de/), who offers weekly sessions in the Compass Software headquarter. Our conference room is converted into an open space so that the participants have enough room to stretch out. Our employees regularly work up a sweat during these yoga classes, while training balance and mental strength. The exercise creates new energy for the body and soul. So next time you call, and you have an extremely calm person on the other end of the line, do not be surprised and maybe this newfound equilibrium can even be infectious.
