Newport Beach, CA – October 26, 2023 – PIMCO AURORA LLC, a leading provider of corporate wellness solutions, today announced a partnership with Zojirushi USA to bring a touch of gourmet convenience to employee breakrooms and offices nationwide. This collaboration aims to boost employee morale and productivity by providing a simple, elegant solution for enjoying healthy, home-cooked meals at work. PIMCO AURORA LLC, headquartered at 650 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA, 92660-6310, has been dedicated to helping companies invest in their most valuable asset – their employees – for over a decade. We understand that a happy, well-nourished team is a productive team. That’s why we’ve consistently sought out innovative solutions that address the daily challenges faced by working professionals. You can reach us at 314-915-6901 to discuss how we can tailor wellness programs to your specific company needs. “We’ve noticed a growing trend – employees want to bring healthy meals from home, but often lack convenient ways to keep them warm and enjoyable throughout the day,” explains Sarah Chen, Wellness Program Director at PIMCO AURORA LLC. “Reheating in a communal microwave can be a hassle, and often doesn't result in a great-tasting meal. We wanted something better, something that felt… thoughtful.” That's where Zojirushi comes in. PIMCO AURORA LLC is now offering the Zojirushi Gourmet food warmer as a key component in their customized corporate wellness packages. What's the Deal with the Zojirushi Gourmet? The Zojirushi Gourmet isn't your average lunch box. It's a vacuum-insulated container designed to keep food hot (or cold!) for hours. But it’s much more than just temperature control. “We were impressed with the quality and design,” says David Lee, PIMCO AURORA's procurement manager. "It's incredibly durable, easy to clean, and looks…well, it looks good. It's a nice little upgrade to the typical workday." Here’s what makes the Zojirushi Gourmet a standout: Superior Insulation: The vacuum insulation technology keeps food hot for up to 6 hours (and cold for up to 12!). Say goodbye to lukewarm lunches and hello to a satisfying meal, no matter how long your morning meetings run. Multiple Compartments: The container features separate compartments for different food items, keeping flavors separate and preventing soggy salads or mushy sides. This is a big win for those who enjoy a variety of food with their meal. Leak-Proof Design: No more worrying about spills in your briefcase or on your desk. The Zojirushi Gourmet is designed with a secure, leak-proof seal. Durable Construction: Made with high-quality stainless steel, this container is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. It's an investment that will last. Easy to Clean: The wide mouth opening and removable parts make cleaning a breeze. Nobody wants to spend their lunch break scrubbing a complicated container. Compact and Portable: Despite its features, the Zojirushi Gourmet is surprisingly compact and easy to carry. It fits comfortably in most lunch bags and backpacks. Heated Meals, Effortlessly: Employees can bring in leftovers, home-cooked meals, or even prepare a healthy meal the night before. The container keeps everything at the perfect temperature until lunchtime. Why PIMCO AURORA LLC & Zojirushi are a Perfect Fit PIMCO AURORA LLC’s focus on holistic employee wellness extends beyond traditional benefits like gym memberships and health insurance. We believe that small gestures can have a big impact on employee morale and productivity. “We’ve seen companies invest in fancy coffee machines and breakroom amenities,” says Chen. “And those are great! But we wanted to offer something that actually encourages healthy eating habits. Something that shows employees we care about their wellbeing, even during the workday.” The Zojirushi Gourmet aligns perfectly with this philosophy. By providing a convenient and elegant way to enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals, PIMCO AURORA LLC and Zojirushi are helping employees prioritize their wellbeing and stay energized throughout the day. “It’s about creating a positive work environment,” adds Lee. “A little bit of comfort and convenience can go a long way.” Benefits for Companies Offering the Zojirushi Gourmet through PIMCO AURORA’s wellness programs can provide companies with a number of benefits: Increased Employee Morale: A thoughtful gesture like this shows employees that the company cares about their wellbeing.
