Refreshments have been synonymous with the working day for generations. Employees taking time out for a hot drink or bite to eat boosts wellbeing, which in turn helps them to stay motivated and productive.
Because of this, it makes perfect sense to make these refreshments easily accessible from the workplace. Such facilities like the Express Refreshments Micro Market represent meaningful employee perks and deliver five key benefits.
For those who are following us on social media, you will have seen our latest Micro Market install that officially went live this week. The client was an existing Micro Market customer already but wanted to take their current provision to the next level.
The completed project emphasises what the modern workplace can deliver. Express Refreshments is delighted to have helped yet another business enhance their available space to put employee wellbeing first.
As we head into the new year, it seems that we have all got our heads around the impact of Covid-19 and what that means for the world of our work. 2022 will instead be an opportunity to put all those numbers, stories and facts into practice and develop a workplace where employees can thrive.
With that said and for Express Refreshments’ first article of the new year, here are some of the key workplace trends for 2022.
68% of UK and Irish organisations have seen employee wellbeing decline during Covid, according to latest research. Over 1000 interviews were conducted with global organisations across 23 different counties and the UK and Ireland provided some of the most damning responses.
Express Refreshments closer examines these and looks at how employee experience may have driven such a negative outcome.
You have started a business because you believe in what you do. Your employees have got on board because they have bought into your vision. Incentives in the workplace are a great way to keep them motivated to achieve company goals, and studies show complimentary refreshments are a valuable benefit
So, what do you look for? What kind of refreshments could you offer and how should you offer them? You need a solution that fits both their needs and yours. Employees need refreshments when they want them, whilst you as an employer need a facility that’s cost-effective but still does its job of keeping your team happy.
Lots of us don’t enjoy the winter months, with the dark mornings and colder weather. Feeling down with little motivation means employee morale can be affected at work. Here is how you can focus on your employees and promote a better working day in the colder months.
