The UK has seen a huge shift in the modern workplace experience in the years since the Covid-19 pandemic. As the country shut down and office workers were sent to work from their kitchen tables, the shift in workplace culture began.
Makeshift desks at kitchen tables turned into offices with ergonomic desk chairs, and long commutes became free time to spend walking the dog or making dinner with the kids.
Workers adapted and overcame this massive upheaval, with most now settling into hybrid work culture as a compromise.
It’s become more evident than ever that offices should be more than just a place to set up a laptop, but collaborative workspaces that foster innovation, creativity and employee wellbeing in the workplace.
More than just employee perks and benefits, studies show that sharing food can help strengthen community bonds, suggesting modern workplace refreshments are essential in maintaining not just a positive breakroom experience, but a happy, productive working environment as a whole.
With workplace coffee and refreshment solutions from Connect Vending, enhancing workplace collaboration is easier than ever with contactless workplace technology, smart vending machines and office coffee machines to rival your favourite high street chain.
