Why should you be concerned about workplace environment as a business owner? It’s generally believed that happy employees with the right office conditions tend to be more productive and focused. Access to proper hydration is an easy way of creating immediately favourable work conditions. Believe it or not, you can easily boost worker productivity through the simple purchase, of an office water cooler. Easy What could be easier and more convenient than getting perfectly chilled water from a cooler within easy reach? Employees will simply have to go and fill a cup. The installation and refilling of the water cooler (if you choose a bottle-fed variety) is also going to be very simple. Most suppliers will deliver refills to your workplace and collect the empty bottles. If you are looking for convenience and simplicity this option could present the perfect opportunity. As Your Office Grows What is the present size of your workforce? Do you plan company expansion in the future? A Mains fed water cooler is one option for a larger workplace. Workers will have access to as much chilled water as they need on a daily basis. The mains fed water cooler can also be positioned on a counter or table top surface, at a height which makes it convenient and generally easy to access. However, there are also great benefits to having a bottle fed variety in the office: 1. Some serve natural mineral water, so the water is supplied in its natural state. 2. Natural mineral water when chilled is not only healthy but also tastes great. 3. Minimum hassle in installing the kit. Generally, all that is required is a power socket and somewhere to store the spare water bottles. 4. Bottled Water units can be moved and re-positioned easily wherever there is convenient space in the office. 5. Most suppliers will deliver refills and collect the empty bottles from your office. 6. You have full control in increasing or decreasing the supply to suit your company’s level of consumption. Shiny, Happy People Happy people tend to be more motivated to come to work. Proper hydration is one of the essential factors that can contribute toward this. On the other hand, lack of proper hydration, especially during the hot summer days, can lead to sluggishness. People easily lose focus, which can lead to a decrease in productivity. Employees who are expected to execute complex tasks on a daily basis definitely need to stay hydrated, in order to keep energy levels up and their mental focus clear. Other drinks as well as foods contribute to fluid intake of course but for calorie-free, convenient, tooth-friendly hydration, water is one of the best options available. Options As a business owner, you have to make decisions about every aspect of improving your company. When it comes to the purchase of new equipment, preliminary research is always advisable. Many companies sell, install and maintain water coolers. You have numerous options when it comes to the features of the machine itself. Knowing what you are looking for and comparing several models side by side will help you pick the perfect water cooler for your team. Team Building Apart from having practical considerations, the selection of the right water cooler could also contribute to the workplace’s aesthetic appeal and could even be a source of fun and inspiration. Most suppliers will let you choose different styles and designs. Some will even allow you to customise your water cooler by choosing particular colours or adding your company’s logo to the machine. Have fun with it and enjoy the process. Maybe even turn it into a team building exercise, by allowing your employees to get involved in the design and selection of the finished product. Being a good boss can be a rewarding experience, both commercially and personally. Start by giving your employees access to healthy and refreshingly chilled water, a small step which can result in a positive environment and a tremendously productive workplace.
