Sustainability is rooted in Arketype’s culture. We strive for a sustainable work environment and attempt to reduce, reuse, and recycle every chance we get. Sustainable design services are also incorporated into our client and community work whenever possible. Learn more about our sustainable design practices in the design services section.
Additionally, Arketype prides itself on encouraging employees to lead balanced and healthy lifestyles. In March of 2009, Arketype began an ambitious, long-term program to become the healthiest company in America. Through a partnership with Health at Work, a firm of “wellness actuaries” headquartered in Chicago, Arketype employees underwent screenings to assess their health risks as well as fitness and flexibility tests to determine their health abilities.
Screenings will be repeated several times throughout the year to help gauge progress and, if necessary, to adjust individual plans to help employees reach their fitness goals.
Periodically, guest speakers are invited into our atrium for informal “Lunch and Learn” sessions to help employees better adopt healthier lifestyles. The basement of Arketype’s offices has been transformed into a gym, complete with treadmills, weights, and a dedicated fitness area for group classes like yoga, kickboxing, and Zumba©.
