As winter sets in, days get shorter, and temperatures drop, it’s not uncommon to experience a dip in energy and spirits in the workplace. But fret not; there are plenty of ways to keep your team’s energy levels sky-high and their spirits brighter than a snowfield under a midday sun. As a bonus, this can be accomplished by one addition: vending machines. Yep, we mean it! Below are three ways adding vending machines to your space can help your employees keep energy high, even in the thick of winter.
Snack Your Way to a Happier Workday
It’s 3 pm, the office energy level has hit a low, and your brain needs a boost. You forgot a snack, and the last thing you want to do is trek outside in the cold to spend money.
Enter the vending machine, a beacon of hope in the heart of your workspace. Snacking isn’t just for satisfying midday munchies. It can also be a fantastic way to fuel productivity and increase happiness at work. The brain loves a constant supply of glucose, and providing healthy snacks like dried fruits or nuts can help maintain steady energy levels throughout the day.
Sometimes, that midday slump comes from being dehydrated- which is especially common in the winter. Vending machines stocked with a wide variety of beverages and snacks can be your secret weapon against the mid-afternoon slump. Be it water, sports drinks, or juices, staying hydrated can drastically improve your energy levels.
Bonding Over the Vending Machine
Did you know that even a vending machine can help build stronger relationships among coworkers? Social activities slow down in the winter, but even introverts benefit from genuine connections. We aren’t saying everyone needs to stand together and have endless conversations! But even a small chat stemming from two coworkers loving the same candy bar is enough to perk up anyone’s day.
Spice Up the Snack Selection
Keep things exciting by switching up the options in the vending machine. Leave a sheet for your employees to request their favorite snacks, adding a dash of anticipation to their snack breaks. Little surprises like these can brighten up even the gloomiest winter day.
