Staff Break Room Upgrades
Do Your Employees Return Feeling Energised?
In tough economic times, it’s understandable that businesses are looking for ways to cut costs and focus on essential expenditures. Yet, investing in a small break room for your employees can still be important and beneficial for your business. Why is that? Because it demonstrates your dedication to creating a thriving and employee-centric workplace. You will attract and keep the best people. Saving you money in the long run. Not having to invest in recruiting and training new people every few months. Strong businesses have a productive workforce operating at the highest productivity level. Savvy business owners know that happy employees produce better quality work. Put your business at the top of its game by ensuring your employees feel well looked after. Then they will work harder, smarter and longer. Because they choose to.
Here are the absolute must-haves for an effective break room:
- Comfortable seating options are essential. Consider a mix of chairs, sofas, or bean bags that cater to different preferences. Ergonomic chairs are especially beneficial for promoting good posture and reducing discomfort.
- Create a calm and inviting atmosphere through appropriate lighting, soothing colours, and decor. Natural light is ideal, but if that’s not possible, ensure that the lighting is warm and adjustable. Adding plants can also improve the ambience and air quality.
- Include basic kitchen amenities like a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. These allow employees to store and prepare their meals or snacks. Having access to coffee, tea, and water is particularly important for hydration and energizing breaks.
- Provide access to charging stations and reliable Wi-Fi to accommodate employees’ technology needs. This enables them to stay connected during breaks if desired or use their devices for personal entertainment.
- Allocate storage for employees to keep personal belongings or store items like gym bags, jackets, or lunch boxes. Small lockable cabinets can help keep the break room tidy and organised.
- Display a bulletin board or whiteboard for posting important announcements, company updates, or even a community message board where employees can share information or events.
- Designate areas within the break room for private conversations or moments of solitude. This can be achieved through small partition screens or cosy nooks where employees can have some personal space if desired.
- Include recreational activities to promote relaxation and social interaction. Simple options like board games, puzzles, or a foosball table can encourage friendly competition and provide an enjoyable break for employees.
Here are some examples of break rooms of all sizes for inspiration:
