If you really want to be a cool, hip and well-liked boss then I suggest that you invest in an office water cooler.
No, I am not just making this up, it is a fact that employees who have access to a water cooler at work are far happier and more productive than those who do not. A bottled water cooler will look extra sexy and modern in any office and just think about the conversations that could take place around it.
No, staff actually do not waste time hanging around the water cooler all day to the detriment of their work. In actual fact, having an office water cooler gives rise to many benefits such as your staff drinking water more often because it tastes better and is kept perfectly chilled, even in the hottest to temperatures.
In order for the human body to function at its best, the balance of water, which is 70%, needs to be maintained. If this is not done then dehydration sets in and this could lead to a myriad of problems such as:
- Headaches – employees won’t be able to work
- Brain activity – becomes slow and this Impinges on the employees’ ability to perform involved and difficult tasks
- Energy – decreases when employees are dehydrated so their productivity will drop and so will your bottom line
- Dry Mouths – lead to employees not being able to speak for long periods at a time and customers will think that they are just lazy and don’t care about customer service
Investing in an office water cooler will make you look cool though as your employees will think how nice it is that you care about them and make sure that they have sufficient drinking water when at the office – this could lead to some nice Christmas pressies.
If you invest in a really good make of office water cooler that dispenses fresh, cool, great tasting spring water on a virtually continuous basis, even in a heatwave, you will definitely win the best boss of the year award! Your employees will love you because they will be saving loads of money that they would have spent on buying soft drinks or mineral waters to try and get cool.
Of course investing in an office water cooler will make you top of the pops with the ladies, as they all know that drinking water throughout the day is not only cooling but also good for the figure as it dampens the appetite so they will all lose weight!
Be a nice boss; invest in an office water cooler for your staff this summer!
