As 2024 draws to a close, we are all reflecting on what went well, trying desperately hard to forget what didn’t go our way (Eugene–we’re looking at you….the “bring your pet to the office day” was NOT a success–Jayne, we are so sorry for your loss, Polly was such a lovely parakeet and we’re just so sorry that Jerry’s cat had a different idea of playing nicely).
Looking forward to 2025, People and Wellness as well as HR and operations departments across the country are still wondering what they can do to:
- Look after their staff (whilst also keeping the CFO happy)
- Entice staff back to the office (because we all know that innovation and collaboration are always more successful in person)
- Genuinely reward their staff with something that actually matters (I know “everyone has a ping pong table” but seriously–the gang from IT only used it twice and now, it just takes up space)
If only there were something that unites everyone, something that everyone needs and wants and something that will actually drive energy in the office……
Well there is–that ONE THING is food (and coffee of course, which actually makes 2 things but stay with me here). Yep–food (and coffee). Nutritious, delicious, universal and brings everyone together. The availability of snacks, coffee, and fresh food in the workplace directly impacts employee performance and satisfaction. If you don’t believe me–just try fasting for a day and let me know how your performance and satisfaction look then!
✓ Healthy snack options like nuts, fruits, and protein bars help stabilise blood sugar levels, reducing the afternoon energy slump and improving concentration.
✓ Snacks provide a quick energy boost during long workdays, keeping employees focused and engaged.
✓ Coffee, often regarded as the fuel of creativity and productivity, provides more than a caffeine boost—it promotes social interaction, with employees gathering for a quick chat or brainstorming session around the coffee machine.
✓ Fresh food options contribute to overall health, ensuring employees feel nourished and energised throughout the day.
✓ Meanwhile, fresh food options support employees who may not have the time or resources to prepare nutritious meals at home, helping them maintain their energy throughout the day.
Providing convenient access to nutritious food and drink options truly demonstrates that a company values its staff’s comfort and wellbeing. It also fosters a positive work environment where employees feel cared for, leading to greater job satisfaction and morale (YAY! Win win!). Accessible snacks, coffee, and fresh food make the workplace more inviting and engaging, encouraging employees to stay energised and motivated.
“Smart businesses all over the world are offering these essentials to create an environment that prioritises convenience and care.”
Is yours?
Imagine a time where employees no longer need to step out of the office for a quick break; saving time and allowing them to maximise their productivity whilst also saving their hip pocket.
A well-stocked break area with thoughtfully chosen food and drink options also becomes a space where team bonding naturally occurs, strengthening workplace culture.
So, now of course, the 64 million dollar question–how do you provide that and not blow any real or perceived budget set by the number crunchers from accounting?
What if I told you that you could provide tailored solutions for your workplace for fresh food, snacks, ready made meals, cold drinks, barista quality coffee and loads of variety every single day.
