Boost Office Morale \u2013 Immediately!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A proven way to increase productivity is to ensure your team is happy. When employees are happy, they are more motivated to work.<\/strong> When your team doesn\u2019t need to worry about buying or planning breakfast in the morning, they can be more relaxed in the morning \u2013 when this time is typically often one of the most hectic! Having your team walk into the office to fresh coffee, local bagels, and some seasonal fruit will create a happier, more relaxed environment, leading to increased morale and productivity from the moment they walk in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another great benefit to providing breakfast is that it gives your employees an opportunity to bond with each other. Bonding is best when it happens organically, and allowing people to connect over food is so common<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s one of the main cultural benefits to a shared meal (or bagel). Closer relationships among employees will create stronger communication and teams in the workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just remember, these great workplace advantages can start with just a bagel. Get your first breakfast catered without any hassle over at Mobydish<\/a><\/strong>.

Bagels (SFC\/South Bay)<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone can agree that a happy workplace is a better workplace. No one wants to come to a boring, lackluster office, but without bringing in games or entertainment, how can you elevate the mood? Studies show that certain foods elevate serotonin, which is a natural mood booster! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Serotonin is boosted by certain foods like eggs, cheese, tofu, turkey, salmon, and nuts and seeds. Turns out that sandwiches as well as other popular catered lunches are full of potential employee happiness! In a survey of 1100 people, 60% of people said that catered lunches would make them feel more valued and appreciated. 40% said that lunch would reduce their stress.<\/strong> Add in some serotonin-boosting meal items, to that lunch order, and your office will be full of happy employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s no doubt that hybrid work and optional days in office have proved major obstacles in maintaining a team camaraderie and fostering an environment of community, but despite this post-pandemic haze, happy hours consistently rank as the most desired way to get to know fellow teammates.<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s the functional use of adult beverages as a way to de-stress from all the pressures of the day, or wanting to connect with people on a personal level in a setting conducive to comfortable interactions after so much social distancing, \u201coff-the-clock\u201d events remain the primary method to build morale and encourage strong relationships with coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the most recent study on the subject as highlighted by soocial.com<\/a>, 66% of employees say workplace happy hours increase their happiness with their jobs with millennial employees most likely to attend as 89% say it is the top reason for long-term<\/strong> employment. With that said, timing and physical presence are key elements to having a successful event. As evidence, one out of three employees says they will opt to miss virtual happy hours and are likely to stay for a much shorter period of time (35 mins for virtual team events vs 1.5 hours for on-site events) when the weather is nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding the success happy hours can bring to team building is one thing, but executing it effectively is quite another. Over 40% of those that attend happy hour acknowledge that the best events and their reason for repeat attendance is driven by trying new things and sharing experiences together. Knowing that breaking bread together is a time tested way to encourage social connection, finding a partner with operational and planning expertise in bringing fun and and exciting food and drink choices to the office is the low-effort, convenient way to bring these essential opportunities to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Mobydish, we\u2019ll bring you the best opportunities for happy hours<\/strong> by pairing the best local restaurants in your city<\/strong> with our own veteran hospitality couriers that can deliver, set up, and clean up your event so you can spend your time connecting with your team without any of the hassle.
