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

Portland, OR – November 8, 2023 – APR Staffing LLC, a leading provider of innovative workplace solutions, today announced a partnership with Revell, the iconic model kit company, to offer a unique program designed to boost employee morale, foster team building, and even provide a mindful break from the daily grind. In today’s fast-paced work environment, companies are constantly searching for ways to keep employees engaged, reduce stress, and encourage collaboration. APR Staffing believes they’ve found a surprisingly effective solution: Revell Beginner Kits. “We’ve been looking for something different – something beyond the usual team-building exercises,” says Sarah Miller, CEO of APR Staffing LLC, based at 5319 SW Westgate Dr, Suite 130, Portland, OR 97221-2431. “And honestly? The idea came from our own team. Several of us started building Revell models as a way to de-stress after a tough week, and we realized it had a lot of benefits that could translate to the workplace.” More Than Just Plastic & Glue: The Science Behind the Success APR Staffing’s internal testing, and now initial pilot programs with client companies, suggest that the simple act of building a Revell model kit, especially the beginner-friendly versions, can have a surprisingly positive impact on employee well-being and performance. “It’s not about creating master model builders,” explains David Chen, APR Staffing’s Head of Workplace Wellness. “It’s about the process. Building a model requires focus, patience, and attention to detail. It’s a really good way to switch gears and get out of your head for a bit. You’re physically manipulating something, which is grounding, and you’re working towards a tangible result. That sense of accomplishment, even with a small model, can be really powerful.” The benefits extend beyond just stress relief. The kits encourage problem-solving skills. Each step presents a small challenge, requiring employees to follow instructions and think critically. Fine motor skills are also engaged, which can be particularly beneficial in roles requiring precision work. Revell Beginner Kits: Perfect for the Workplace Revell’s Beginner Kits were specifically chosen by APR Staffing for their accessibility. These kits are designed for first-time builders, with simplified instructions, fewer parts, and often snap-fit construction – minimizing the need for messy glue or complicated painting. "We wanted something that anyone could pick up, regardless of their experience," says Miller. "You don’t need to be a hobbyist to enjoy these. They’re designed to be fun and rewarding, even if you’ve never built a model before.” The current selection of kits offered through APR Staffing’s program includes a variety of popular subjects, appealing to a broad range of interests. Options include classic cars like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvette, iconic airplanes like the P-51 Mustang and Spitfire, military vehicles like the M4 Sherman tank, and even NASA spacecraft like the Saturn V rocket. "We've found that having a variety of options is key," adds Chen. "People are more likely to participate if they can choose a model that interests them. It also sparks conversation and a sense of community." Pilot Programs Show Promising Results Several companies have already participated in pilot programs, integrating Revell Beginner Kits into their workplace wellness initiatives. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. “We were looking for a way to boost morale after a particularly challenging quarter,” says Mark Johnson, HR Manager at a local tech firm. “The Revell kits were a huge hit. Employees were surprised by how relaxing and engaging the activity was. We even set up a ‘model building corner’ in the break room, and it became a popular spot for people to de-stress and connect with colleagues.” Another company, a healthcare provider, reported that incorporating the kits into staff meetings helped improve focus and reduce tension during potentially stressful discussions. “It’s a great icebreaker,” says Lisa Rodriguez, a nurse manager. “Everyone gets a chance to work on their model while we’re going over agenda items, and it creates a more relaxed and collaborative atmosphere.” More Than Just a Perk – A Strategic Investment APR Staffing believes that offering Revell Beginner Kits as part of a comprehensive workplace wellness program is not just a perk – it’s a strategic investment in employee well-being and performance. "In today's competitive job market, companies need to go beyond just offering competitive salaries and benefits," says Miller. "Employees are looking for workplaces that prioritize their well-being and offer opportunities for personal growth and development. Activities like building Revell models can help create a more positive and engaging work environment, leading to increased productivity, reduced stress, and improved employee retention.” APR Staffing LLC, reachable at 240-515-6466, is now offering customized programs that include Revell Beginner Kits, facilitator-led workshops (optional), and ongoing support to help companies integrate the activity into their workplace culture. They are confident that this unique solution can help organizations unlock the full potential of their workforce, one model at a time. "It sounds a little quirky, maybe," admits Chen with a smile. "But honestly? It works. And it's a fun way to bring a little bit of joy into the workday."
