APR Staffing LLC Partners with Revell to Bring Hands-On Learning & Stress Relief to Workplaces

Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – APR Staffing LLC, a leading provider of innovative workplace solutions, today announced a partnership with Revell, the iconic model kit manufacturer, to offer a unique employee engagement and wellness program centered around Revell Beginner Kits. In a world increasingly dominated by screens, APR Staffing believes a little hands-on activity can do wonders for employee well-being and team building. “We've been watching the trend of ‘maker’ movements and adult coloring books for a while now,” says Sarah Miller, CEO of APR Staffing LLC, located at 5319 SW Westgate Dr, Suite 130, Portland, OR, 97221-2431. “People are craving something real to do with their hands, a break from the digital world. And honestly, our clients are feeling the strain. Burnout is real, and companies are looking for anything that helps their employees de-stress and reconnect.” APR Staffing, known for providing everything from temporary staffing to full-scale HR solutions (you can reach them at 240-515-6466), noticed a gap in the market for truly engaging wellness initiatives. Forget trust falls and mandatory fun – they wanted something people would actually enjoy. That’s where Revell came in. “We were brainstorming ways to boost morale and foster collaboration,” explains David Chen, APR Staffing's head of employee engagement. “We realized building a model kit – a Revell Beginner Kit, specifically – hits all the right notes. It’s tactile, requires focus, and provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment when you finish. It’s not about being an expert model builder; it's about the process.” Revell Beginner Kits: More Than Just a Hobby Revell Beginner Kits aren’t your grandfather’s model kits. While Revell has a rich history dating back to 1943, these kits are designed with the modern beginner in mind. They feature simplified instructions, fewer parts, and often, pre-colored pieces – making them accessible to anyone, regardless of experience. “We’re seeing a huge resurgence of interest in hobbies like model building,” says Michael Johnson, a Revell spokesperson. “People are rediscovering the joy of creating something with their own two hands. These kits aren’t just for kids anymore. They're a fantastic way to unplug, focus your mind, and relieve stress.” The kits themselves are diverse, ranging from classic cars and airplanes to iconic spacecraft and even movie-themed models. This variety allows companies to choose kits that appeal to their employees’ interests and company culture. APR Staffing is offering curated packages that include a selection of kits, tools (like hobby knives and glue – safety first!), and even instructional videos led by experienced model builders. How APR Staffing Integrates Revell Kits into Workplace Wellness APR Staffing isn’t just selling model kits; they’re offering a complete program designed to maximize the benefits. Here’s how it works: Team Building Workshops: APR Staffing facilitates on-site workshops where teams work together to build a model kit. This encourages collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills. “It’s amazing to see teams rally around a common goal, helping each other figure things out,” says Chen. “It’s a much more organic way to build camaraderie than traditional team-building exercises.” “Mindful Building” Sessions: These sessions focus on the therapeutic benefits of model building. Participants are encouraged to focus on the present moment, disconnecting from distractions and anxieties. It’s basically meditation with glue and plastic parts! "Desk De-Stress" Kits: Companies can provide employees with individual Beginner Kits to work on during breaks or downtime. It’s a healthy and engaging alternative to scrolling through social media. Company-Wide Challenges: APR Staffing can organize company-wide competitions, encouraging employees to build and showcase their models. This fosters a sense of community and friendly rivalry. Virtual Build Nights: For remote teams, APR Staffing hosts virtual build nights where employees can build models together online, sharing tips and encouragement. Beyond Stress Relief: Skills Development While stress relief is a major benefit, APR Staffing also emphasizes the skills development aspect of model building. “These kits aren’t just fun; they actually help develop valuable skills,” explains Miller. “Fine motor skills, spatial reasoning, problem-solving, attention to detail – these are all things that translate directly to the workplace.” Building a model requires careful planning, precise execution, and the ability to overcome challenges. These are skills that are highly valued in any profession. Early Feedback is Positive APR Staffing has already piloted the program with several clients, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Employees report feeling more relaxed, focused, and engaged. One client, a tech company in Seattle, saw a significant increase in employee morale and a decrease in reported stress levels after implementing the program. “We were skeptical at first,” admits John Smith, HR Director at the Seattle tech company. “But we were desperate to find something that would actually resonate with our employees. The Revell Beginner Kits program exceeded our expectations. People are genuinely enjoying it, and we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in the overall work environment.” Looking Ahead APR Staffing plans to expand the program in the coming months, offering a wider range of Revell Beginner Kits and customization options. They’re also exploring partnerships with mental health professionals to incorporate mindfulness techniques into the build sessions. “We believe this program has the potential to transform the way companies approach employee wellness,” says Miller. “It’s a fun, engaging, and surprisingly effective way to boost morale, reduce stress, and foster a more positive work environment. And honestly, who doesn't love building something with their own two hands?” For more information about APR Staffing LLC and the Revell Beginner Kits program, visit their website or contact them at 240-515-6466.
