Walking the Talk

Redbird's clients are creating healthy people, and healthy places. They might be raising awareness of health issues, promoting energy conservation, promoting fitness, building safer communities, manufacturing health products, protecting children... but the outcome is health, on whatever scale of magnitude.

At Redbird we know it's important to 'walk the talk'. That means we take action on a personal and professional level to be healthy people working in a healthy place.

Our company has an on-site fitness program that includes a paid half-hour workout on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We drop tools at noon, and warm up with three minutes of stair climbing. Then we spread out to circuit stations around the office, and spend a minute at each: weights, lunges, pushups, squats, situps, chinups, and more. We respect our employees' mental health too, flexing schedules when possible, to accommodate personal and family needs.

Our office is calm, light, and bright, with big openable windows in a fresh-air location. We are members of BC Hydro's Team PowerSmart, and we monitor energy use, print double-sided when possible, and use compost, recycle, and garbage bins in our staff kitchen. Our energy conservation plan includes incentives for things like walking or cycling to work, and turning off computer monitors when not in use.
