How to Have Happier and Healthier Employees in 2017

Welcome, 2017! As the new year begins, many people consider adopting positive practices to create a happier and healthier lifestyle. Companies share this same idea, looking for a fresh chance to create a positive workspace for employees. One way to ensure this goal is to find ways to fuel employees and keep them motivated all day.

Say hello to the company snack bar! The office furniture experts at OstermanCron recently noticed that many companies are incorporating this trend into their office designs. The company snack bars help employees avoid hunger cravings throughout the 9 to 5 grind. There are additional, less obvious benefits to office snack spaces that we’ll bite right into next.

Everyone knows that sitting at office desks for long periods of time is bad for your health. While office furniture like this is created to combat the problem, snack stations add a nurturing touch to the office. With an office snack bar, employees are more likely to get out of their office chair to grab a granola bar, sparkling water, or piece of fresh fruit.

Food certainly brings people together, for families as well as coworkers. Although most proper office designs incorporate high collaboration areas to get coworkers together, snack bars are another natural place for employees to gather, talk, and relax. When they take a break from their office cubicle to recharge, higher productivity also often results.

OstermanCron can vouch for this concept. We have a company snack space in the OstermanCron office furniture showroom. Regularly stocked with fresh food, this place to chat and have coffee has unquestionably created happier employees. The snack bar is a must for companies, employees are eating it up.
