Are you looking for an easy way to boost employee well-being in your office?
Then look no further than investing in a coffee machine.
Coffee can have a huge impact on our mood and mental alertness.
At first, buying a coffee machine may seem like a vanity purchase. But, that’s not necessarily true. What’s more, your employees will love you for doing it!
Here are our top benefits of having a coffee machine in your office –
1. Coffee Enhances Productivity
It’s no secret that coffee helps to wake up many people in the morning and keep them alert. This is because caffeine is quickly absorbed in the bloodstream, blocking the sleep receptors in our brains. If employees enjoy a cup of coffee when they come into the office, it’ll help increase their focus. This, in turn, boosts their productivity.
2. Coffee Increases Energy Levels
Along with enhanced productivity, drinking coffee increases energy levels. Since caffeine is a mild stimulant, it can help make your employees less tired during the working day.
If you notice productivity and energy slumping mid-afternoon, encourage employees to take a coffee break. This will help them through the last stretch before it’s time to go home.
3. It Saves Time
How many times does an employee leave the office to grab a coffee? How many people turn up late because they stopped for a coffee and had to deal with a long queue first thing in the morning?
By having a coffee machine in the office employees will be able to save time and enjoy their breaks more without having to go out and battle the queues in the local coffee shop..
4. It Reduces Stress
Did you know that coffee releases dopamine, the happy chemical in our brains?
As such, it can have a positive effect on your employees. It can also help them relax and reduce stress during a challenging day.
Some studies have also shown that coffee can reduce feelings of anxiety, as well – making it crucial for any bustling, fast-paced workplace where stress and anxiety can occur.
5. It’s Cost Effective
Whether it’s you or your employees doing the coffee run every day, it all comes at a cost.
No matter the type of coffee, buying one cup a day is ridiculously expensive.
By providing a coffee machine in the office, even if you charge for the drink, you can reduce coffee costs by up to 90%. This can save employees hundreds of pounds each year.
6. It Improves Working Relationships
Installing an office coffee machine can work wonders for team-building. A bit like the water cooler!
Meeting at the coffee machine can help build relationships between employees who may not normally work together. This leads to better communication and more opportunities for collaboration between departments.
7. It Impresses Clients and Office Visitors
If your office regularly hosts visitors or clients for meetings, a quality coffee machine is a must.
Coffee machines never fail to look welcoming, and seeing employees happily chatting with each other and bonding over a cup of coffee will have a positive impact on any prospective client.
Additionally, offering clients a good cup of coffee will make them feel at home and help create a positive impression.
8. It Encourages Breaks
We all know the importance of taking frequent breaks during the day for mental health and well-being. Having a coffee machine is a great way to encourage and remind employees to take those well-deserved breaks.
9. It Boosts Office Morale
Investing in a coffee machine shows your employees how much you appreciate them.
With the current ‘cost-of-living’ pressures, it’s also an easy way to reward them without having to increase wages.
Forward looking employers are seeing Coffee Machines as an important fixture within the office. They’re a valued perk that brings people together, enhancing collaboration and office cohesion.
