If you have been looking for ways to upgrade your commercial building, a micro market is an excellent choice. Here at InReach, we are particularly excited about the potential that micro markets hold, and we love helping our clients add this functional, versatile feature to their buildings.
Not sure if an office micro market is the right choice for your needs? Wondering how this amenity would fit into your bigger plans for the building (or buildings) that you operate? No problem! The InReach team is here to answer all of those questions and more. Take a moment now to reach out, and let’s start the conversation about this great opportunity.
Convenience is the name of the game with micro markets. These are incredibly accessible spaces with a range of food and beverage items all within easy reach. And, without the need for staffing, your micro market will be available to employees at all hours of the day and night, whenever they need to grab something and keep on going.
The convenience continues with regard to how quickly users can make their selections and get back to work. A number of modern payment options are available, and there won’t be any need to wait in line to make a purchase. Whether you already have an on-site food service option that is slow and outdated or this will be your first entry into this type of amenity, a micro market is an obvious choice.
As an employer, worker satisfaction is likely one of your top priorities. Statistics show that just 65% of the U.S. workforce is happy with their employment, meaning there is serious room for improvement. Making sure that the people driving your company forward are happy with their careers and have what they need to thrive is a critical task that can’t be overlooked. It’s hard to find big wins in this area, but the addition of a micro market is sure to be just that.
Employees will love having a number of snack, meal, and drink options all within a short walk of their desks. Whether they want a healthy boost or something a little more indulgent, they are sure to find a great fit in the micro market. And, since this is soon to become a gathering place for many people, the social interactions that happen here are another element that will add to the overall employment experience.
The matter of productivity is always going to be in the back of your mind with any changes that you make to your office building. If something has the potential to make your business and the people within it more productive, that initiative is certainly going to be more desirable.
Micro markets get excellent grades in this area. The people who work in your building are inevitably going to need food and drinks during the day, so why have them spend valuable time leaving the building when they could just stock up at the micro market and get back to work? It’s an exciting prospect to think about how much more could be accomplished if some of the time that is currently wasted each day can be recovered through the addition of a micro market.
What are the benefits of micro markets? There are too many to name, but the three we discussed above are a great start. Once you have decided that this feature will be the right addition to your space, the rest is easy—just contact InReach and trust our experienced, knowledgeable team to take this project to the finish line. We can’t wait to chat about the project and get to know your business!
