Authors

Abstract

There is a growing concern on the part of companies regarding to the human being life considering the context of worker-company relations, guiding then to actions privileging the individual's well-being, such as the leisure. In this perspective, the aim of this research is analyzing the perception of workers from a large company in Minas Gerais (CEMIG), members of its recreational association (GREMIG), about spaces and leisure activities offered, identifying the limits and the possibilities of these actions and the use of spaces by workers. The methodology chosen was a descriptive-quantitative research, using the case study and survey, applying an online questionnaire as a collection tool. The results showed that leisure offered by the company is considered as an option for workers, for whom leisure is related to quality of life, fun and searching for satisfaction. Workers recognize that the leisure brings benefits to them and the company. Then, it is concluded that the worker realizes the leisure offered as part of his/her routine and even though it is offered by the company / association, it is considered as a personal choice.
