A recovery break in the middle of the workday
A recovery break in the middle of the day may sound a little odd. With Zerobody it takes 20 minutes, fully clothed, without leaving the workplace. One day of sickness absence costs the employer €370 on average, according to the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK).

Do these challenges sound familiar?
- In 2025, Finnish municipal employers averaged 13.2 and wellbeing services counties 16.1 days of absence per employee (Keva).
- Meal vouchers don't differentiate as a perk anymore — top talent demands more.
- HR measures wellbeing with surveys — a concrete, measurable solution is needed.
Why Zerobody for this industry
Recovery starts during the workday
According to the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, recovery is best started during the workday. Recovery breaks at work raise alertness and reduce fatigue — that is research, not a manufacturer’s promise.
What research says about breaks
In a meta-analysis of micro-breaks (PLOS ONE 2022, 22 samples, 2,335 participants), alertness rose and fatigue fell. For performance, the difference was not significant.
Employee perk and recruiting
High-quality wellness facilities signal company culture — helps attract and retain top talent.
Two figures, side by side
A sick day costs the employer €370 on average (EK). Leasing a Zerobody Personal starts at €225 a month.
