How Hiring a Coffee Service Can Transform Your Workplace

Are you looking for simple things you can do for your employees to help them feel supported and cared for? While you might be focusing on expanding benefits, updating technology, and creating more comfortable workstations, there is another simple thing you can do that will transform your workplace: hire a coffee service. It might sound a bit far-fetched at first, but simply having coffee delivered once or twice a day can really be life-changing for your employees and your company as a whole. Here's how.

1. A coffee service keeps your employees from having to leave mid-day.

A very large percentage of people like to drink coffee as they work. The caffeine keeps them motivated to stay focused on their work and stay in their chairs. If you are not providing coffee at work, your employees will either have to bring it from home or leave in the middle of the day to go get it. Sure, they might be using their break time to do so, but then they still have to get re-settled into their workstation and refocus again. If you have coffee delivered, they won't have to leave the building to get their own, which means they'll be more productive.

2. Employees have another reason to socialize.

Employers often think of socializing as a way for employees to waste time, but you should actually want your employees to socialize to some degree. It helps them form bonds, and people who know each other a little better work together better as a team. People often chat and bond over coffee, so having coffee delivered daily will give employees more opportunities to talk and get to know one another.

3. Your employees will feel cared for.

Have you ever noticed how when someone feels stressed out or sad, making them a hot cup of coffee or tea makes them feel better? Giving someone a warm beverage is simply a way to show you care. It's the same if you have coffee delivered for your employees; it's a simple way to show you care and support them. Employees who know their employers care and have their backs are more likely to do their best and go above and beyond for the company. 

Hiring a coffee service to deliver to your workplace once or twice a day may seem like a little thing, but to your employees, it is a big thing — and it may even change your office dynamics within days.
