Flexible working describes a way of working that suits the employees’ individual needs. There are no fixed hours and requirement to operate from a specific location, such as the traditional workplace.
Flexible working has grown ever popular for years but has undoubtedly accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic. Learn how it pays to embrace this way of work and how the Express Refreshments Micro Market brings out all the benefits.

When Express Refreshments introduced the first Micro Market to the UK, it was met with curiosity and even a touch of apprehension. How was this self-service convenience store for the workplace a better solution than facilities already on the market?
Fast forward nine years and the benefits of the Micro Market are now strikingly obvious. With its attraction to UK businesses only accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Micro Market is arguably now the best on-site refreshment facility to the demands of the modern workforce.
Unattended, self-service retail has grown in demand since the start of the pandemic, and so forth so has the Micro Market refreshment facility for modern workplaces.
Early adopters appreciated how such a grand facility could represent a huge perk for staff, but as time has gone on even smaller sites are understanding how its flexibility could work for their business.
Put simply, the Express Refreshments Micro Market is more accessible than you think.
Employee benefits matter in the workplace but the type of benefits required has now changed in line with the post-Covid world we’re now living in.
Employees have fresh demands, and they aren’t afraid to seek employment elsewhere if these demands aren’t met. Here are some key stats surrounding employee benefits and how they can make or break staff retention.
Your employees are the heartbeat of your operations. Without them it is impossible to achieve success, so you need to make sure you are hiring the right personnel.
That’s not all, though. Humans are not robots, and they expect to work in an environment that encourages them to perform to their full potential. Express Refreshments looks at how you can support your employees to stay productive at work.
Following the end of the “work from home” advice, the modern workplace must adapt itself to suit the demands of employees in this post-Covid world. A study from Infogrid found that 30% of staff want access to breakout areas and recreational areas. This suggests employee wellness is high on the agenda moving forward.

It appears the power of workplace relationships could be key to keeping staff happy at work. Studies show that those who have a “workplace best friend” are more likely to be engaged in their role, which presents another opportunity for CEO’s and managers to develop a stronger workplace culture that encourages bonds and relationships.
