VENDING & WATER COOLERS
answer is buying a £1 snack for everyone. That’s because £1 saves 10 minutes of each person’s time. You also benefit by making people happy, it saves them from having to get their umbrellas out, and eradicates his or her hunger grumbles.
No matter what you currently offer or choose to do, there are two things to remember: 1) your people are vital and 2) people are different; that’s what makes them brilliant. Each and every one of your team has unique strengths and weaknesses and it’s partly up to you to engage those skills to enable them to flourish.
That means that you need to cater for different health requirements and tastes, which shows you care. With that in mind, if you decide to provide free food you need to offer choice and variety.
Taken at its extreme, if you only offer Marmite you will instantly alienate 50% of the team. You need a balance, between sweet and savoury, and healthy snacks to guilty pleasures; if you can offer superfoods with energy boosting qualities, then even better. After all, a workforce marches on its stomach.
This is why we at Office Pantry deliver to offices across Britain. We deliver tailored foods to each of our clients, presented inside one of our free wooden Pantries (a small wooden crate with a suggested price list and an honesty box). These display units act as a focal point within the offices that we serve (Karen Millen, Sports Interactive and Deloitte to name a few) enabling people to share taste discoveries and engage.
We deliver the value of snacks stipulated by the FM or company and the office recoups their money from the honesty box once the Office Pantry has been emptied. The honesty box offers a financially neutral option whilst keeping staff happy and encouraging trust amongst workers.
So, how much do you value your staff?
