It’s common knowledge that everything comes in three. Although little is known about why people enjoy things in three so frequently, having three drinks on your desk is no exception. So, what is the holy trinity of drinks at work and why does it make your workday more manageable?

The first is the foundation of the beverage kingdom, water. Mild dehydration is not only a notable health risk it can also contribute to employees feeling distracted. Installing a water dispenser, such as a Borg & Overström B3, in an easy to access area could tackle this.

It’s no surprise that that the second part of the holy trinity is caffeine. Research shows that caffeine can improve alertness in moderately sleepy people, boosting productivity across the office.

The final holy trinity drink is a wild card, a chance to add a bit of random pleasure to your workday. Whether it’s a can of pop, a refreshing juice or the latest limited-edition flavour of your favourite drink, the wild card allows you to break away from the autonomy of work and return some humanity to your desk.
