Necessity Of Break Room Coffee To Employees

By Freda Watts


Each and every successful business should at least be having a break room. This is a specific premise set aside in a business that is majorly used by the employees during their breaks. Such times include mainly coffee time out and lunch times. Therefore break room coffee is the refreshment that the staff take during their time out breaks.

It is very important since as the English men put it, all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Thus in this case we only replace the 'jack playing' part with the refreshment the staff get when they take their time out. This thus makes it clear that the refreshment is the one thing that keeps the workers in track after a long period of working.

There is an option of then workers preparing the beverage for themselves or the company offers to employ someone to be serving them. It is better if the workers get then chance to serve the coffee among themselves. The reason being that they will interact more with each other. If they make the beverage together in turns, the better since more time for interaction is made even more.

Serving themselves would as well pose a challenge. This is in terms of time wastage. When the tea makers are not very many the workers would take time to wait for their turn to serve themselves, an activity that is time consuming. The business could face delays in say the delivery of its services, unless the staff employ a technique of taking their breaks in turns.

Some companies have studied this situation and used it to come up with very great business ideas. They make coffee for the staff during their breaks. Such a company is the Kenney's company. It is mainly governed by the interest of the staff and thus provides them with the best that they could offer in terms of beverage flavours. Their beverage is a great refreshment that comes in just at the right moment.

Kenney's company should be an example to other companies to start such businesses and the government of all countries should encourage this as it takes care of the staff welfare. It is also a positive sign that then employer wants their staff to stay strong all through their working session. Even their relationship to their workers is also established.

The businesses that have break room coffee, mind about their staffs' sanitation too so they therefore provide biodegradable utensils. This is very essential since at this time everyone is talking about environment conservation. This also helps the workers not to have cutlery to clean up after their time out.

Therefore break room coffee is basically what every worker that is focused on their job from early in the morning to late in the evening just needs. And the best gift that the employer can also offer is to give them just that. The break really helps them to recap their memories. They could also use the time out to catch up with each other and also discuss the way forward business wise. But then the timeout comes out to be both constructive and destructive too.
