Good Coffee Boosts Engagement and Productivity
With the increased value placed on coffee and the increased consumption of the beverage, it has become an integral part of building culture in the workplace.
Coffee consumption has grown exponentially over the years among millennials. One study even found that coffee beverage consumption among millennials had increased from 19% to 41% between 2008 and 2016. This increase in consumption is now creating a shift in the workplace. The availability of coffee options in the workplace plays an important part of increasing engagement and productivity.
Worldwide, shared office spaces and companies have seen the connection between a creative atmosphere, like one offered by most coffee shops, and better productivity and have made investments into creating a better coffee culture in their work spaces.
Over recent years, the open plan office setup has been introduced by many shared office spaces and companies wanting to increase collaboration in the workplace. That very same reasoning is now driving shared office spaces and companies towards creating café spaces within the workplace.
This is not difficult to imagine because while a junior member of a company might never have had the opportunity to engage with a senior leader, in an instance where they are both in the coffee area, this engagement would be possible.
“Office coffee services have traditionally been the worst of the worst and there’s been a lot of growth in companies recognizing the need for a better coffee experience,” says Jesse Kahn, the national sales manager for Counter Coffee Culture.
“We are in the middle of a multi-decades shift in quality in the food and beverage sector. Millennials in particular bring this desire for quality to work, and companies are making changes to create a better coffee experience for their employees,” Kahn said.
It’s a phenomenon that goes a lot deeper than just a good cup of coffee with more and more companies placing high value on employee happiness and employee engagement, which in turn makes for a thriving company culture.
