Sports & Wellness Packages

Sports & Wellness Packages refer to a popular employee benefit, common in the European tech scene and beyond, where companies subsidize or fully cover memberships for fitness and recreational activities. For PHP developers, whose work is often sedentary, this benefit is invaluable for promoting physical health, mental well-being, and a healthy work-life balance. It often comes in the form of a membership card that grants access to a wide network of facilities.
