Employees are making well-being a higher priority. Thus, they feel valued when the Phoenix workplace helps meet wellness goals. How can you, as a company, do this and improve the employee experience at the same time? A subsidized micro market might be the answer.

Discover what a subsidized micro market is, how it works, and the benefits it offers. 

What is a Subsidized Micro Market?

A Phoenix micro market is an open concept market filled with fresh food, snacks, and beverages. Similar to a convenience store, customers can browse the shelves and glass-front coolers. 

You can create the ideal menu for your team. Offer traditional items like chips and pretzels for snacking. Plus, provide healthy options like granola bars, fruit, or keto-friendly choices. 

With a subsidized micro market, the employer covers some or all of the costs of the refreshments. There are several ways you can do it. 

3 Ways to Subsidize

You can enjoy a subsidized micro market, your way. Choose the best option for your workplace.

1. Free Refreshments
Employees can grab free snacks from your micro market. Offering free food helps show your staff you care about their well-being.

How does it work? The self-checkout kiosk helps us manage inventory. When products run low, we restock promptly. Then, you get a simple monthly bill. 

2. Covering Part of the Cost
With this option, you lower the cost for employees. Instead of paying full price, your company covers a portion. This offers great value for your team. 

You can also use this strategy to encourage healthy snacking. For example, put a discount only on healthy snacks. The options are endless. Let us know your goals, and we can customize your service. 

3. Employee Micro Market Accounts
We’ll set up a micro market account for each employee. You simply add money to the employees’ accounts. They can use the money to buy their favorite products in the market.

Easy to manage and budget, this subsidized micro market option can help boost team morale. Or use it to drive productivity. You can reward your employees by adding money to their accounts when they achieve milestones or goals. Or celebrate birthdays by adding more funds.

A Subsidized Micro Market Boosts the Employee Experience

Like reliable Phoenix vending machines, micro markets offer easy access to refreshments. The open concept means micro markets can offer a greater variety of foods and snacks. As a result, employees can find options that meet their tastes and dietary needs. 

A subsidized micro market also saves time. Instead of rushing out to shop on breaks, employees can find their favorite snacks in your Phoenix break room. Plus, with a subsidized market, you save your staff money. Overall, this service is a time-saving convenience for employees. 

On its own, a micro market creates a modern, engaging break room your team will love. Adding a subsidy only adds to the benefits, making it a more powerful perk.
