Taking care of your employee
Employee satisfaction has been associated with quite positive and empowering benefits to the customer. But have you ever wondered what would be the benefits that the employees have socially when you provide an ideal environment that eliminates worry from their day to day life? To understand this, have you been able to identify the types of employees; those who only work for you just for the money? Do you know the employees who get to work because of their passion and the sharing of your goals and in support of the picture that the company is working towards?
Identification of these two types of employees is crucial. This allows the management to spend much on the ideal employees who are not only providing benefits for the time but also, who are looking to spend a long term working relationship with the company.
Now, what we would like to focus on is helping the employees whose passion and intentions with the business is long term. This could be through implementing a mechanism that would allow them to be more productive at work. In most cases, letting them worry less about some personal problems in their life is one factor that will increase the employee output at work and increase their probability of working together.
Some of the basic challenges that the employee face at work, especially if they are working away from their homes, is that of accessing affordable food. Remember that the company might provide a meal plan, but the pricing may be beyond what the employee budget is. Considering their ultimate benefits is better and will encourage the employees to remain royal to your business.
Looking at the best way that you can provide these meal plans is ideal. But as we develop, wouldn’t it be ideal to give the employee a choice of where and when to have their food? This freedom will help in developing newly found inspiration and motivation for work. Motivated staff is equal to increased productivity and increased business growth.
There are several aspects relating to providing employees meals that have been associated with productivity. As a means of taking a break from their desks, creating a lunch culture in an organization no matter how small or big it is helps with increasing productivity. During these breaks, employees participate in collaborative engagements, increasing their creativity and overall, performance at work.
Providing well balanced meals has a whole lot of benefits, especially if this is provided by the business. According to the World Health Organization, having the right ingredients for lunch has a capacity of boosting the brain for up to 20%. This is mainly through experience of having the food as well as the ingredients used.
For an organization that serves breakfast, the difference in the productivity of its employees is exceptional. Breakfast as a productivity tool gets employees starting off on the right foot and it gets them in earlier because they don’t have to worry about cooking or making stops before work. Thus businesses have an opportunity to set the tone for their employees every day. Providing healthy options helps to cut off the temptation for donuts or a fast food breakfast, which leads to a mid-morning sugar crash.
Thus , considering the need to create a good culture around food might be the missing part of the puzzle, when it comes to your employee productivity!
