The ROI Of Better Office Coffee

We all love employee perks at work. Socials, freebies, bonuses and fun games all help keep employees happy and engaged. But is there a perk that offers better value for money than a quality coffee supply?

Keep up to date with our latest blog posts here because over the next few months, Abe will be using his guest articles to explore the different ways that office coffee can deliver ROI, beyond caffeinated employees of course!

Whether you supply the whole package – machine, milk, beans and all – or just some high-quality coffee for their cafetiere, better office coffee is a worthwhile investment for your company.

Here are just some of the reasons quality office coffee can prove profitable for your business…

Why?

First up, the obvious one.

Many of us turn to coffee when our eyelids start to droop and concentration starts to waver. Coffee not only keeps you awake at your desk for longer, but it has proven effects on activity and productivity in the office. Drinking coffee increases alertness and helps with focus and concentration. It can help keep employees engaged, energetic and excited, too. According to a survey by LifeHack, for example:

“46% of workers claim they are overall less productive without their java. 20% of coffee drinkers claim that it allows them to better socialise with their co-workers and 10% say that it helped them focus before giving a presentation.”

While first thing in the morning might not be the best time to drink coffee, it is the ideal antidote to those mid-morning and mid-afternoon slumps! Without it, your caffeine-addicted team members will likely yawn through afternoon meetings and whinge about their coffee withdrawal symptoms.

Productivity

Better office coffee also helps boost morale.

When an employee knows that there is a quality, warm cup of coffee waiting for them at work, they’ll turn up earlier with an extra spring in their step, ready for the day ahead. A reliable, quality supply of coffee at work will also save them money on takeaways on their way to work. It’s the small things that can help boost employee morale and get them on board with company values!

Morale

The coffee break is not just an excuse to skive work. It’s a chance for your team to brainstorm ideas and communicate in person. People from different teams can come together around the coffee machine, encouraging collaboration and cross-fertilisation of ideas. If the coffee is quality, too, more people will drink it, bringing more of your team members together, creating a wider and greater community.

Building a healthy and collaborative company culture needs a shared purpose and processes that give people the chance to work together. That’s why a good company coffee culture built around free, high-quality coffee is such a worthwhile investment. It makes for innovative ideas, profitable new projects and happier employees emotionally invested in your company values.

And all just from a cup of coffee?!

As if all of the above weren’t enough, better office coffee can also help you attract top talent.
