So, of course the title here was rhetorical and of course the answer is always yes but let’s summarise why…
- The food we eat and the quality of our drinks (I’m sorry–sugar laden sodas might taste good but they miss out in the “quality” stakes) play a VITAL role in keeping us humans energised–not only in the workplace but in all areas of life. Like any high performance machine–without the correct fuel, we simply can’t operate.
- A quick snack or a coffee break can recharge mental focus, improve mood, and blow that productivity meter out of the water.
- Good food and coffee, wherever they are found, with the workplace being no exception, will always create opportunities for social connection and by extension when humans connect, good things generally happen.
“Offices that provide accessible, quality options for refreshment show they value their team’s wellbeing.”
Creating a Workplace Employees Love
We get it–since 2020 when our lives seemed to change overnight, remote work has become a part of worklife in many companies. From a purely time based productivity level, one could argue that productivity hasn’t seriously been affected but there is no denying the lack of innovation and disconnect that happens when members of the same teams are not collaborating together in person.
The pandemic may have changed a lot of things but it didn’t change literally thousands of years of human psychology and collaborative success.
The “new normal” of partial remote work means that many employees need extra motivation to spend more time in the office.
What better motivation than providing accessible, high-quality food and drink options, including barista quality coffee to create a positive environment that makes the office more appealing.
- Provision of great coffee alone will incentivise in-office work: When combined with snacks and fresh food, the incentivisation is compounded. Employees are more likely to come into the office if they know they’ll have access to great coffee, healthy snacks, and a variety of lunch options.
- Food and coffee foster engagement: Break areas with vending machines or micro markets can become social hubs, helping to build a strong team culture.
- Providing food and coffee, whether subsidised or not, demonstrates that the company genuinely cares: Investing in these amenities shows employees you value their wellbeing, which can increase job satisfaction and retention.
