Did you know that 43 percent of employees start their day with
coffee and many continue to drink it throughout the day?* It’s true! In fact,
the workplace is the second highest location for drinking coffee, proceeded by
only at-home consumption.*
Research by the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee
suggests that offering great coffee at work increases productivity.* That’s
because employees don’t need to venture out of the office to get their favorite
specialty coffee drinks. This often saves 30 minutes (or more) of
non-productivity.
Great-tasting coffee doesn’t just keep employees on task and in
the office. It may also have a positive impact on overall job satisfaction.
When it comes to coffee, don’t underestimate the important role it plays in the
workplace.
Why Employees Drink Coffee
There are many reasons employees drink coffee. However, there
are four primary reasons that rise to the top:*
- 45 percent to wake up or
start their day
- 41 percent as a matter of habit or part of their routine
- 36 percent for taste
- 34 percent to stay awake or for energy
Whether employees drink coffee because they enjoy the taste or
are looking for an energy boost, offering a range of flavors and styles can be
a great addition to your workplace.
The Benefits of Coffee in
the Work Environment
85 percent of employees believe coffee breaks are important.* On
top of that, employees feel valued when they have great coffee options to
choose from. Employees may view quality coffee as a sign that their company
cares about employee well-being. Here are a few beneficial reasons to provide
quality coffee at work.
Employee Well-being
Short breaks throughout the day provide mental and physical
benefits. Time away from their desks allows employees to stretch their legs and
clear their minds before returning to daily tasks. Coffee breaks can often
range from 5 to 10 minutes and may be viewed as a positive daily ritual.
Positive Social Interaction
Office coffee machines are the new water cooler. Employees can
use coffee breaks for personal exchanges with their co-workers. Plus, some
employees believe that coffee breaks are an effective way to maintain team
morale. Short trips to the coffee maker promote socialization and team
building.
Organizational Benefits
Coffee breaks spark creativity. Employees can take a few minutes
to reflect on their work while sipping their favorite brew. That quick break is
often all it takes to refresh, refuel, and rethink solutions. Coffee breaks can
encourage impromptu meetings, cooperation, and the exchange of ideas between
co-workers.
Providing Better Coffee
Solutions
55 percent of workplaces offer only a drip coffee maker.* But
employees want the quality and variety offered at a coffee shop, without the
hassle and cost of visiting one. Since 2017, more than half the cups of coffee
consumed each day are considered gourmet.* Specialty coffees have become the
new norm, compared to traditional drip coffee. Offering high-quality coffee and
a variety of choices leaves employees more satisfied at work.
Specialty Coffee Satisfies
Everyone
When there are limited coffee options at the office, employees
try to find more desirable alternatives. This can lower their efficiency during
the workday and decrease the amount of time they spend in the office.
Providing the quality and variety of a coffee shop will keep
employees in the workplace and increase their productivity.
Imagine this: Your employees no longer need to make coffee runs
before or during work. Their favorite specialty coffee drinks are right at
their fingertips. They have impromptu meetings and are more productive.
Employees are simply more satisfied and so are you.
Provide free coffee for employees. See how easy it is to
increase employee productivity in the workplace with a great coffee program.
