\"Break<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although the idea of offering an employee break room with a selection of refreshments has been around for years, providing a space for relaxation, conversation and snacks or meals is even more important now. Break rooms are more than a room; they can help employees relieve stress, brainstorm, boost productivity and build community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering if your Warren or Detroit area break room\nfits the needs of your employees, it can be helpful to consider the following\ntopics: what your employees need or want, the physical space and the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needs and\nWants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering the answer to this question, the first\nplace to go is to your employees. Not only will it help clarify what your employees\nlike to do when they aren\u2019t at their desks, but it will help create a list of\nfood and beverages preferences, allergies and dietary requirements. Asking for\nemployee input lets them know that their opinion matters and that they are\nappreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Physical\nSpace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your Warren or Detroit area break room is large or\nsmall, it needs to be welcoming. There should be a variety of comfortable\nseating arrangements that support different activities including eating meals,\nreading, collaborative work, having fun and even napping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Break<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The vibe or energy of the room, created by colors, textures, lighting, seating arrangements, layout, plants and organization, also contributes to the experience employees will have when walking into the room. A great example<\/a> comes from Google\u2019s campus where \u201cdiner booths, it turns out, can work better than traditional conference rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to tables and chairs for meals, access to\nmicrowaves, a sink, a refrigerator and coffee machines as well as supplies like\nutensils, plates and napkins will encourage employees to leave their\nworkstations and have meals together and build relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the primary reasons Warren and Detroit area employees\ngo off-site during the workday is to grab a bite to eat or a coffee, which can\ncause a decrease in productivity. With that in mind, the importance of offering\nthe right combination of snacks, cold beverages, fresh food and coffee service\nstands out even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to offering traditional snacks and beverages<\/a>, better-for-you options are a must. Healthy choices<\/a> such as fresh food, fruits and veggies, yogurt, granola bars, nuts, filtered water and flavored sparkling water minimizes food comas, avoids dehydration and keeps employees feeling their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last section of the menu should reflect coffee and tea<\/a> service. It might include a combination of espresso-based drinks, nationally known brands, local roasters and a variety of hot teas. Don\u2019t forget to include creamers, non-dairy creamers, sugar and sugar-free options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the three sections listed above have been considered, the final break room design<\/a> and menu should reflect both your Warren or Detroit area organization\u2019s needs and the refreshments your employees enjoy.
