Last week we announced the exciting news of our rebrand!

How did we get from Oh My Green to garten? 

The idea for garten started with founder Michael Heinrich. He recognized a trend in workplace environments where employees are experiencing burnout rather than wellbeing. This environment, where one strives to achieve without the balance of wellbeing, is in stark contrast to the wisdom that his grandmother sewed into him as a child. She raised Michael to follow wellbeing practices such as eating from her organic garten in Germany, getting plenty of rest, and exercising to promote good health. Thus, the mission and a set of values were born to encapsulate these wellbeing principles. 

As Oh My Green, we were known for our healthy snacks and lunch offerings. Michael believes that living a healthy and blissful life involves more than simply nutrition choices, to function in a healthy and blissful state, we must engage our mind and environment too, this is especially important at the workplace, where many of us spend the majority of our awake hours.

As garten continues to broaden our focus to become a full-service wellbeing provider for employers, supporting their employees’ wellbeing in mind, body and environment, we want our brand to best reflect our mission, what we stand for, and what we’re doing to improve the workplace.

How long did the journey to garten take?

An online search estimates that a rebrand can be completed in as few as 4 to 6 weeks. At garten our rebrand was in development for over a year. We knew that a rebrand signifies a turning point. As we move toward providing broader wellbeing services, combined with the dynamic shift that’s occurring in how the workplace is defined, it was essential to us that the rebrand reflects our founder’s original mission as well as the direction we’re taking to bring wellbeing to the workplace.

To accomplish our rebrand goals, we looked internally – gathering input from our own wellbeing ambassadors, as well as externally – listening to our valuable client partners. Then we engaged a couple of agencies to bring the rebrand to life. Our final partner in the process, Office Jason Schulte Design, was so inspired by our rebrand results, they shared our journey to garten as a case study.

Our new logo visually tells our story. The three pillars, mind, body, and (workplace) environment are reflected in the architecture of our wellbeing g.

Where do we plan to go as garten?

“At garten, our vision is to bring a modern approach to overall wellbeing in the workplace and the rebrand marks an important step in the evolution of our company,” said Michael Heinrich, founder and CEO of garten. “The focus on health is top-of-mind and more important than ever. We’ve heard from numerous leaders that wellness and especially immunity will play an integral role in how they support their employees as they come back to the workforce, whether onsite or remote.”

garten is here, to welcome your employees to work, and to meet them on their wellbeing journey, whether that’s our onsite or remote solutions. Self-care has been hard to come by these past few months, we know processed foods have been on the rise, and immunity is at risk, so whatever garten can do to help people feel a little better about themselves; make a few better choices throughout the day; and just feel cared for – that’s our mission, to empower people to live healthy and blissful lives. That’s why we do what we do – – workplace wellbeing for every employee.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 12,  2019 –Oh My Green, a provider of healthy food and wellness services, today unveiled the company’s first branded beverage offering, Oh My Green Coffee. The organic coffee is now available to customers using the company’s nutrition offerings—micro-kitchen and culinary services. It comes in three distinct and delicious roasts including light, medium and dark, and will satisfy even the most ardent coffee gourmet.  

“Our vision is to transform the office into a destination for healthier living, ” said Michael Heinrich, CEO and Founder of Oh My Green. “Coffee is part of the everyday rhythm of office life. And it’s an important part of our offering. Coffee delivers a range of health benefits in addition to being an important source of energy. It contributes to improved fiber intake, and it lowers the risk of Type 2 Diabetes and depression.”

Oh My Green’s coffee beans are sourced via a direct trade agreement that empowers living wages and healthy working conditions from Finca Churupampa, an organic coffee farm in Chirinos, Cajamarca, Peru. Operated by the Tocto Brothers, this family business is a leader in the sustainable coffee movement and incorporates regenerative farming practices into the growing process that are designed to improve the quality of the coffee and also reduce environmental impact. Finca Churupampa additionally provides education, export, and marketing services for hundreds of neighboring farmers, with the goal of championing the local community and sharing insights on sustainable practices.

Chirinos is located in the San Ignacio region of Peru, which is known for its majestic forests and proximity to the Andes Mountain Range. The region’s diverse microclimates and rich soil produce high quality, uniquely flavored coffee beans.

The post Oh My Green Doubles Customer Base in First Three Quarters of 2019 appeared first on garten.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 30, 2019 – Oh My Green, a leading provider of healthy food and wellness services for corporations, today announced plans to significantly expand its culinary services in five major metropolitan markets across the United States. The company is boosting its corporate catering offerings in the San Francisco Bay Area to meet increasing demand, and adding operations in New York, Los Angeles, Austin, Seattle and Boston.  

Oh My Green’s catering program brings a thoughtfully curated selection of healthy menus to the workplace, focusing on foods and beverages that are nutritious, delicious, responsibly sourced and prepared with the utmost care and attention. This service expansion marks the next step in the company’s mission to transform the workplace into an environment that better supports employee health, happiness and well-being. Four key elements set Oh My Green’s service apart from the competition: 

• Premium quality at a competitive price point – Menus prioritize fresh, seasonal, non-GMO and organic foods and are balanced to please a variety of tastes and dietary requirements (including vegetarian, vegan, Halal certified and more). Meat and poultry are always hormone and antibiotic-free, seafood and produce is fresh (never frozen) and whole foods are used instead of trans fats, refined sugars or other types of ultra-processed ingredients. 
• Sustainable – Oh My Green catering is committed to following sustainable business practices that support local sourcing, conserve natural resources and minimize waste. As much as possible, reusable plates and table settings are used, and everything else is recyclable. Food suppliers are chosen based on their sustainability practices and humane handling of livestock. All produce is 100% seasonal, non-GMO and pesticide-free.
• Smart, data-driven technology – Oh My Green utilizes a range of innovative technologies to facilitate ordering, scheduling and logistics, as well as to ensure excellent service, presentation and food safety. For example, real-time field data keeps tabs on food temperatures and on-site conditions, food is time and temperature stamped prior to and post-delivery, frequent food safety audits are conducted and email alerts ensure that potential issues are addressed instantly. Oh My Green’s proprietary technology platform also gathers both qualitative and quantitative feedback on the weekly menus, with the information used to continually refine offerings and craft a unique experience that meets every customer’s wants and needs.
• Restaurant-caliber experience – Oh My Green’s catering service raises the bar on the office lunch with premium menus specially curated by local Michelin Star rated chefs, restaurant quality food and beverage presentation and clear signage that provides details on nutritional content, potential allergens and dietary considerations. 

Poor eating habits and associated health epidemics — including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and others — are costing businesses more than $225 billion annually according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Conversely, workplace nutrition programs improve employee well-being and productivity, help reduce absenteeism and much more.

“Good nutrition is a core element of wellness, and it’s especially important for people to have healthy options at work, where they spend a majority of their time,” said Michael Heinrich, CEO and Founder of Oh My Green. “Now, in addition to our snack and micro-kitchen services, companies in our catering markets can partner with Oh My Green for a premium experience that prioritizes fresh ingredients, local sources and a nutritious and delicious range of options. This is one more way that employers can cultivate a culture of wellness that helps their employees lead more healthy, inspired and blissful lives.”

The post Oh My Green Expands Culinary Operation Across the U.S. appeared first on garten.

More often than not, the words “start-up culture” conjure up a very specific image in people’s minds: late nights at the office, lots of coffee and Red Bull, pizza boxes under the desks. In other words, an environment where people are just so committed to the work, that nothing else matters. Who needs rest, social relationships, proper nutrition, and exercise? All of that can wait, right?

But can it?

As someone who has experienced more than a few office cultures like the one described above, I’m here to tell you that the “work as hard as possible” ethos that seems pervasive — not just in Silicon Valley, but throughout much of the corporate world — is not just wrong, it’s counterproductive. Tired, stressed, unhealthy people are not going to perform at their best. They’re not going to come to work with creative ideas and focused minds. (In fact, I was shocked to learn in Jeffrey Pfeffer’s recent book, “Dying for a Paycheck” that the workplace is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States.) This state of affairs not only led me to found a company, Oh My Green, that’s exclusively focused on health and wellness in the workplace, but also to develop a new approach to leadership — one that inspires people to bring their best selves (instead of their most stressed selves) to work.

The foundation for my leadership approach is balance — when we focus on taking better care of the body, mind, and environment at work, engagement, inspiration, and productivity will follow. The idea is to do less and accomplish more vs. do more and accomplish less. (The latter seems, unfortunately, more common in today’s corporate environments).

Let’s take a closer look at how a company benefits from ensuring that these three critical elements of a healthy workplace culture are in alignment:

Body.

Over the past ten years, chronic disease has increased by 25 percent in working-age adults, and the CDC estimates that productivity losses due to missed work cost employers $225.8 billion, or $1,685 per employee, annually. And while there are a number of factors that impact health, nutrition is a big one: A recent study published in the British journal The Lancet and reported in the New York Times found that “one-fifth of deaths around the world were associated with poor diets-defined as those short on fresh vegetables, seeds and nuts but heavy in sugar, salt, and trans fats.”

Unfortunately, the foods people typically get at work — sugary sodas and ultra-processed snacks — often fall into the unhealthy category. Considering that people spend more than 50 percent of their time and consume more than 70 percent of their calories at the office, it’s critical that business leaders do more to support better nutrition for their employees. There’s an array of actions that workplaces can take to do this — from offering free, healthier break-room options (sparkling water instead of sodas, for instance, or more fresh fruits and vegetables) all the way up to providing fully catered lunches that focus on whole foods and organic ingredients.

Beyond diet, things like on-site fitness classes, subsidized gym memberships, standing desks and even scheduling walking meetings can encourage people to integrate more physical activity into their workdays.

Mind.

Mental health is just as important as physical health — in fact, the mind and body are deeply connected. But the problem is, when people are burning the candle at both ends, they tend to ignore their mental health even more than they ignore their physical health. Modern office environments can easily devolve into whirlpools of stress and distraction. All too often, we mistake constant activity — multi-tasking and overscheduling — with true productivity.

First, encourage employees to get good sleep — a tired mind is not a productive one. Meditation (especially evidence-based meditation like transcendental meditation and mindfulness) is an excellent productivity tool that can be used to help your team counteract the challenges of information overload and burnout, empowering them with the mental composure they need to think through problems and focus on what really matters the most.

Personally, being introduced to transcendental meditation has changed my life: by meditating two times a day, I am much better able to think strategically about key priorities. Now, our entire office does so as well, and it really helps to keep us centered on our goals and creates an atmosphere of joy and calm.

Environment.

Finally, leaders should want their offices to be spaces where people are happy to spend their time, not ones where they are eager to leave. Environmental factors like air quality, lighting, ergonomics, and office design can all play important roles in boosting employees’ moods, preventing health problems and injuries and even in sparking greater creativity.

For example, a study done at Cornell University on natural light in the workplace (reported by NBC News) showed that “workers seated by a window that optimized natural light reported an 84 percent drop in symptoms of eyestrain, headaches and blurred vision.” Natural light was also shown to boost productivity and decrease drowsiness. NBC News additionally reported that indoor plants, images of natural scenery and other sensory elements that put people in touch with nature increased motivation and reduced stress.

These may seem like small things, but all can contribute to a workplace environment that instead of draining people, inspires them. And inspiration is important — according to a Bain study, inspired employees are 2.25x more productive than those who are simply “satisfied”.

While a start-up culture prioritizing health, wellness and, yes, happiness, may sound like a fantasy to some, there’s solid research to back up the business benefits: The CDC has found that improvements in physical, mental and emotional health enhance stamina, concentration, and focus, and the World Health Organization estimates adequate nutrition can increase productivity by an average of 20 percent, just to name a few stats.

We’ve seen these kinds of benefits first hand at Oh My Green. Our workforce is motivated and engaged, and we’ve realized nearly 18 percent growth, month over month, since the company’s inception. We spend more time properly preplanning and less time fixing mistakes, which has been critical in our growth trajectory. Most importantly, our team hasn’t had to burn themselves out to achieve this success.

If you’re not an Oh My Green customer and want to upgrade to overall wellness, get on board now.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5, 2019 – Oh My Green, a concierge-style provider of healthy food and wellness services for corporations of all sizes, today announced that Lever, a San Francisco-based technology company specializing in talent acquisition software, has selected Oh My Green to manage snack and beverage service at its headquarters location. Responsive service and an intuitive, visual analytics dashboard were the top reasons that Lever chose Oh My Green after considering several other vendors.

More than 2,000 companies across every industry use Lever’s talent acquisition suite of solutions, and the software provider continues to scale its operations to meet growing demand. More than two hundred employees are based at the company’s main hub in San Francisco and ensuring that team members are happy, energized, and that their food and beverage requirements are attended to throughout the day is a top priority for the company’s office manager, Lindsey Clemenson.

“People like their routines, and my job is to make sure they have what they need – from when they come in in the morning to when they leave at the end of the day,” said Clemenson. “Oh My Green’s attention to detail, flexible and easy-to-work-with team, and innovative technology were ultimately what sold us on partnering with them. My hope is that our snack program will get to the point where Oh My Green’s dashboard analytics and high-touch service will empower us to be much more efficient, and even predictive, about accommodating the preferences of our people.”

Clemenson wanted a partner to create a program that would meet the diverse needs of Lever’s workforce while also being flexible enough so that she could make adjustments quickly, as needed.

A high level of detail-oriented service is also an important driver for Lever. With Oh My Green, the company now has a dedicated Happiness Manager who is responsible for making sure that products are delivered on time, restocked before favorite items are missed, and who can help Clemenson continually refine the food and beverage profile to please a variety of tastes and personalities.

“Our technology incorporates machine learning on the back end and smart analytics on the front end so that our clients can better understand consumption patterns, more efficiently utilize their budget and build a snack program that matches the unique needs of their organization,” said Michael Heinrich, Oh My Green Founder and CEO. “We look forward to working closely with Lever not just to meet, but exceed expectations – in terms of friendly service and the delivery of a unique and delicious product mix, as well as in terms of flexibility, responsiveness and more. This is how we ensure that Lever’s employees are living healthy and blissful lives.”

Lever launched its snack program with Oh My Green in early April. The company plans to collaborate with Oh My Green to further refine the mix of products being offered and iterate quickly on new ideas, with the goal of offering a delicious and nutritious balance for the entire team at its headquarters.
