Don’t get into a Pickle…

August 8th is National Pickle Ball Day…so I thought I’d share some insight on how a corporate professional can enjoy the nation’s hottest recreational sport right now.

You may think recycling, bike to work initiatives, low-carbon emissions, LED retrofits are all you can really offer towards designations like ESG, Well Building, LEED, FitWell, but did you know that promoting outdoor activities also leads to these? How about yoga on the lawn/terrace, or grounding events where you literally kick off your shoes at lunch and walk through the grass or sand, also…playing pickle ball! Earlier this year, I hosted 3 different pickle ball centered events, and they were each an outstanding hit. I even had a client get custom made pickle ball paddles as a raffle prize at a brokers event. This may not seem very ESG-esque, but au contraire…it is!

Games and activities like pickle ball when promoted to your tenant or client base are considered ways you are promoting wellness and health at your property. So plan the event. Customize those pickle ball paddles. Purchase those set ups. Or simply…hire that planner!
