Coffee breaks can be an important aspect of an employee’s workday, according to Entrepreneur.com. Coffee breaks can reduce stress, wake up employees, create conversation, build community and reduce health risk. When employees step away from their desk for even just 15 minutes, they are able to relax and reduce stress, the author reports. The benefits in productivity and morale outweigh the small amount of work time lost.
Editor’s Note: When introducing OCS to a new location or up selling to a current location, OCS operators can and should emphasize the cost-savings that a great coffee service program can bring to a company. Highlighting the health benefits, as well as the creative benefits of coffee, water and pantry service, may just be the selling point that differentiates you from your competitor.
