Coffee-drinking culture is very common amongst Malaysians. Regardless of age, people drink coffee all the time, whether for breakfast, during lunch, or late at night for overtime workers. Most people develop the habit of drinking coffee during their teenage years because it helps them stay awake and alert. Unlike in the past, coffee products now vary, such as instant coffee, freshly brewed coffee, capsule coffee, and more. Office workers mainly drop by cafés early in the morning to get their coffee on the go.
Investing in coffee machines at the workplace can be advantageous for employees. Coffee machines provided in the office allow for limitless accessibility to coffee, which can increase the productivity of workers throughout the day by helping them stay alert and focused. Providing refreshments such as coffee also means that employees do not need to take long breaks to buy coffee at a café, reducing lost work time and saving on delivery costs
Providing coffee machines in the workplace can also help to create a sociable working environment. Enjoying coffee breaks with colleagues can strengthen bonds and allow employees to take a break from stress and relax. This can improve the mood of the working environment and boost employee motivation to work harder. Moreover, coffee consumption, which increases alertness and reduces sluggishness, can improve overall communication and collaboration at the workplace.
Getting a freshly brewed coffee is definitely a better option in terms of nutritional value for employees. Studies have shown that brewed coffee contains more antioxidants than ground coffee, which is less processed. Compared to instant coffee, brewed coffee is a better choice as it is free of sugar and other additives. Fresh milk can be added to brewed coffee to give it a creamy and velvety taste
Offering free-flow coffee at the workplace is also considered as a perk for staff. This shows that the company is very considerate of the welfare of the employees. By providing convenient perks for staff, companies can instill and retain staff loyalty. On another note, coffee can be served to clients who drop by the office for short meetups, creating a warm welcome and a good impression of the company.
To conclude, creating a healthy workplace lifestyle requires initiative from all parties involved. Providing perks such as installing a coffee machine can lead to a more productive and enjoyable work environment for employees.
