This sprawling Italian headquarters has been dubbed the “world’s healthiest workplace”

Imagine: Boardrooms with with balance balls, light-filled work stations, treadmills in the lobby, an in-house restaurant making nutritious meals, an office spa, and two-hour lunch breaks so employees can take advantage of it all. Seven years ago, premium gym equipment manufacturer Technogym opened a 15-acre campus with all of these perks in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Called “Technogym Village” and heralded as the “world’s healthiest workplace” by Forbes, it reflects founder and CEO Nerio Alessandri’s belief that investing in worker wellness—a lifestyle that prioritizes physical activity, healthy nutrition, and a positive mental approach over buff, toned bodies—is money well-spent.
