In recent years, the concept of corporate wellness has taken on an increasingly central role in the decision-making processes of entrepreneurs and HR managers. It is no longer merely about peripheral perks or superficial comforts, but rather a fully integrated human resource management strategy, grounded in scientific principles that directly link the quality of the work environment to productivity, employee satisfaction, and talent retention.
Within this framework, the inclusion of a company SPA represents a tangible and measurable evolution of the workplace wellness concept. More than just a simple relaxation area, it is a space specifically designed to provide multisensory stimulation and regenerative experiences that benefit both body and mind, promoting the release of endorphins, muscle relaxation, reduced cortisol levels, and overall recovery of physical and mental wellbeing after demanding workdays.
The SPA as an Investment in Corporate Culture
Building a spa within a company reflects a forward-thinking mindset and a sensitivity to the changing world of work.
Beyond the physiological benefits, a wellness environment has a profound relational impact: employees perceive a genuine concern for their personal balance, feel valued, and develop a sense of belonging that goes beyond contractual obligations.
Moreover, accessible wellness areas during or after working hours can serve as a tool for controlled decompression, supporting a more balanced management of stress and preventing burnout.
The Erresei Case: A Best Practice at High Altitude
A compelling example comes from Erresei, an Italian company operating in the field of electronic boards, specializing in professional and design lighting.
Based in the province of Bergamo, in the heart of the Val di Scalve, Erresei, despite being a medium-sized company, chose to dedicate part of its premises to an in-house spa project exclusively for employees.
The project includes:
The installed experience shower model — Aquaform Sensus 70 —is a high-impact visual and experiential solution, combining design, technology, and regenerative function. It integrates various water jets, lighting, sound, and aromas to create fully customizable multisensory wellness journeys.
The result is an experience that stimulates the senses and promotes relaxation, ideal for both short breaks and structured decompression moments at the end of the workday.
A Replicable Model for Future-Oriented Companies
Erresei’s experience shows that even small and medium-sized companies, including those in non-metropolitan areas, can develop high-level projects with tangible benefits for employee wellbeing.
Gianluca Raineri, CEO of Erresei, shares the story behind the project:
“The creation of the relaxation area is just the first step in a broader plan that includes new spaces dedicated to wellness, such as a gym.
We started here for practical reasons, linked to the space currently available, and because it represented, in a way, the most interesting challenge: offering a benefit still rare in the Italian corporate landscape.
So far, feedback has been positive, even though it will take some time for this new approach to wellness to be fully understood and integrated into a productive context.
Designing such a space, in compliance with hygiene and privacy standards, required a great deal of care and attention, but it sends a clear message about the company’s intention to promote a real culture of wellbeing, a value we uphold not only internally, but also through the products we create.
Our brands, Beblaze and Accento, are born from these same principles and embody them consistently, with special attention to light quality and the concept of visual wellness, a key element that defines our creations and enhances their value. This approach is part of a broader path, genuinely and deeply oriented toward sustainability and responsibility, in line with ESG principles.”
