It is vital that everyone drink enough water throughout the day, even if we are just sitting in an office doing administrative work, but many individuals do not like drinking tap water so end up dehydrated, fatigued and without any oomph to do the work they should be doing.
Investing in an office cooler is not a luxury; it is a necessity in order to ensure that the staff complement remains well-hydrated so that they can perform optimally and also to ensure that they get sick less often.
Drinking too little water means that we become fatigued more easily, irritable, sluggish and lose cognitive ability which makes it difficult to perform involved tasks. Being well-hydrated on the other hand means that we are alert, have loads of energy and our brains are functioning optimally.
Mains office coolers are plumbed directly into the main water supply and make sense because:
- They provide chilled, filtered drinking water virtually 24/7
- There is no need to order or store bottles of water
- Companies save money and time on paperwork because there is only one purchase and installation fee as opposed to a weekly or monthly ordering and payment system as with a bottled office water cooler
- Personnel and visitors will drink more water from the office water cooler, so less money will need to be spent on expensive branded bottled water
- Personnel will get ill less often when they can hydrate properly throughout the day
Some models of mains or Point of Use (POU) water coolers offer chilled, ambient and hot water options, which means that staff can even use their water coolers to make a nice cup of hot chocolate in the winter.
It makes sense to invest in a mains water cooler from a business point of view because it will result in happy, productive workers, which is brilliant for the bottom line.
