Coffee machines are a pretty important addition to any workplace, especially offices. Investing in high quality coffee facilities, from regular drinks to creamy delights which rival that of any coffee chain, can help employees with many things. One of these is productivity.
Stimulant
We all know coffee is a stimulant. The first thing many of us do when we wake up in the morning is make a cup of coffee - it helps us wake up properly, and prepares us for the day ahead. Drinking coffee can improve our output in the workplace by waking up our minds, helping us to focus, and driving better results throughout the day.
Social aspects
A good coffee machine is a great way to bring people together in the workplace. The same notion as the ‘water cooler’, coffee break-out areas are where people gather to take a break and step away from the computer screen. It gives people a chance to have off the record chats, and take a moment to think about things from a different perspective. Both of these things can have a positive impact on employee productivity. So many of us don’t allow enough time for breaks during the day, and it’s one of the most important factors in ensuring people don’t burn out.
Variation
It’s not just regular coffee that helps, either. The last thing you want is for employees to get bored with the selection on offer, but luckily with the Office Coffee Company you won’t have that problem. Having a coffee machine with a wide variety of hot drinks means employees are more likely to come back more frequently and explore different drinks. Cappuccinos are a great way to start the day, but as it goes on and people become more tired, black coffee or espressos may be more appealing. And it’s not just coffee, either. Our machines also dispense delicious, creamy hot chocolates. A great way to inject some home comforts into the workplace, and make employees feel more at ease with what they’re working on, especially tasty on a cold day!
Coffee mentality
It’s hard to deny coffee’s physical effects, but sometimes, it offers a mentality which we don’t realise. The habit of picking up a coffee in the morning, and throughout the day, help people stay in a routine. And having a routine is a great way of keeping productivity levels high.
Meeting productivity
Offering a quality selection of hot drinks, including coffee, can help dramatically improve the output of meetings. When a long meeting is taking place, having regular coffee breaks, and hot drinks readily available in the room will keep minds on track, and can improve thinking and the ways employees work together. Taking that time to make a coffee, or other hot drink, can help reset minds, and encourage positive thinking.
