Research supports the value of coffee and lunch breaks at the office. Taking breaks is good for performance and avoiding conditions such as burnout. How so? Consider that focus is finite. It\u2019s the power in a battery that lets a member of your staff work on a task. What happens when the power is used up, but there\u2019s still work to be done? Does the staff member push on, forcing more productivity even if it\u2019s subpar? Or can they get a recharge? One of the best ways for staff to recharge is by taking breaks. The stop in work for a short period of time lets the mind relax or reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fully benefit from the power of breaks, offering a space isn\u2019t enough. Instead, the break room should be part of your workplace culture and inviting. That\u2019s where Southwest Refreshments can help. We specialize in optimizing break rooms<\/a>. That way, you get the most out of your team. Here are some ways you can boost productivity with breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaks Must Come From the Top<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Office supervisors and managers need to have a positive attitude about breaks. From articles or podcasts, they need to see the value of stepping away from the computer or job, briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides knowing the value of breaks, bosses need to take breaks themselves. This sets the tone for the staff, showing that it\u2019s okay, even good to take that brief time off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Breaks into the Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your workplace culture has avoided breaks, try adding them in with a set schedule. This lets employees plan for the breaks. It can also avoid crowding at the Scottsdale vending machine<\/a> by staggering department break times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a Welcoming Break Space<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Micro-Market<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Design a break room that\u2019s comfortable and offers refreshments. Vending machines are perfect for offering cold drinks on demand and snacks that help fuel the body. Southwest Refreshments can offer healthy choices in the vending machine too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a more upscale refreshment solution? Try our Scottsdale micro-markets<\/a>. The open design with shelves and coolers allows more options. There are hundreds of bagged snacks, treats, fresh food, dairy choices, and cold drink options<\/a>. The open design makes it feel more like a mini store inside your Scottsdale break room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a Coffee Station<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A hot cup of coffee is a break standard. Traditional Scottsdale office coffee brewers<\/a> make it easy to brew gourmet coffee for a big office. If you want more variety, try our Scottsdale single-cup coffee service<\/a>. The different pods offer each team member a chance to brew his or her favorite coffee or hot drink. Then the coffee, and even hot tea, are always fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective Breaks Need Support and Leading Break Room Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taking a coffee break or lunch break is good for performance. It lets your mind recharge, even if it\u2019s short. The best way to promote breaks is to have management set an example and create a great break space. This includes adding well-stocked snacks, drinks, and food from a break room expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southwest Refreshments is a one-stop-shop for break room services. Our leading vending, micro-market, and office coffee service can transform your break room. That way, it draws employees. Let us make your breaks more effective and boost the bottom line. Call Southwest Refreshments<\/a> at 623.780.3036.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
