Staples Business Advantage is launching an ‘Ultimate Breakroom Makeover’ contest. All U.S. businesses with at least 10 employees are eligible to make their case for why they need and deserve the chance to win a breakroom makeover valued at $40,000. According to the Staples Business Advantage Workplace Index, 45% of employees eat lunch at their desk and nearly 40% indicate that an open and collaborative environment leads to a positive work culture. Staples is looking to help employers turn the breakroom into a dual-purpose zone – creating a place to recharge and a work space away from desks and conference rooms.
The grand prize winner will have access to Staples Business Advantage’s assortment of breakroom solutions – encompassing coffee options, healthy snacks, office furniture, cleaning solutions, low-maintenance appliances and flat screen TVs, as well as services for layout design and implementation to bring the facelift vision to life.
Editor’s Note: In one of my most recent blog posts I made the argument for investing in the breakroom in order to have a competitive advantage. Some operators are already making breakroom redesign part of their offerings as well and having great success with it.
