\"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 New York\nCity break room fits the needs of your employees, it can be helpful to\nconsider the following topics: what your employees need or want, the physical\nspace and the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When considering the answer to this question, the first place to\ngo is to your employees. Not only will it help clarify what your employees like\nto do when they aren\u2019t at their desks, but it will help create a list of food\nand 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 Space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your New York City\nbreak room is large or small, it needs to be welcoming. There should be a\nvariety of comfortable seating arrangements that support different activities\nincluding eating meals, reading, collaborative work, having fun and even\nnapping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

In addition to tables and chairs for meals, access to microwaves,\na sink, a refrigerator and coffee machines as well as supplies like utensils,\nplates and napkins will encourage employees to leave their workstations and\nhave meals together and build relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

One of the primary reasons New York\nCity employees go off-site during the workday is to grab a bite to eat\nor a coffee, which can cause a decrease in productivity. With that in mind, the\nimportance of offering the right combination of snacks, cold beverages, fresh\nfood and coffee service stands 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 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<\/a> and tea 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 New York City organization\u2019s needs and the refreshments your employees enjoy. Not sure where to begin? March\u00e9<\/a> can help.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
