Fostering a community at work
With offices opening back up around the world, many workers are leaving their homes to reunite with their colleagues - some for the first time in a long time. While it is possible to get work done remotely and collaborate over video, some human interactions - such as catching up over coffee, just hits differently in real life.
The return to the office
After an extended period of working from home, employees might miss physical interactions with their team in the office. Aside from a place to socialise, shared social spaces allow people to collaborate creatively, as well as refresh their minds before the next task on the to-do list. The warmth and energy within a physical workspace just cannot be replicated virtually.
A positive and healthy workplace culture
-
A shared social space allows employees to socialise, build long-lasting relationships, and collaborate in different settings at the workplace. It might seem counterintuitive at first but allowing employees to take breaks will lead to a better, healthier working environment in the long run.
Improved workplace productivity
-
Some employees work better in different environments, which is where a shared social space comes in. Instead of being cooped up at the same work desk, hot-desking arrangements can significantly bolster productivity.
-
A well-stocked pantry also affords employees access to healthy snacks -- or a cup of coffee - which give everyone the much-needed energy boost throughout the day.
Promotes good rapport among employees
-
A shared social space also helps to build rapport and connections between members of disparate teams. This is especially critical for big corporations with siloed teams across the organisation.
Come together over a cup of coffee
There are many ways to take breaks at the workplace, but few come close to a good coffee break. This is because coffee, by its very nature, is meant to be sipped and enjoyed slowly. It forces people to slow down, recharge, and engage in meaningful conversations with one another. Nespresso makes it simple for your employees to enjoy a wide range of high-quality, café-style coffee at the touch of a button. Consider investing in an office coffee subscription at a monthly fee with no upfront investment needed. There's bound to be a personalised plan suited for your business needs.
