Whiteout Conditions Won’t Keep You From a Healthy Lunch With Micro Market Solutions
In snowy northern climates, the winter months come with a few extra challenges. Specifically, the arrival of a snowstorm can bring many parts of life to a halt, and something as simple as just going out to get some lunch can suddenly become nearly impossible.
With a micro market in your office, however, such conditions are not quite as much of a hassle. Once your people have made it safely into work for the day, they’ll be able to stay in the building and get whatever they need to eat or drink without having to venture back out into the elements. If that sounds like the kind of convenience you’d like to add to your office, contact InReach today to learn more.
Convenience When It Counts
There is never a bad time for something to be convenient. It’s always better to be able to get what you need quickly and easily, and this certainly applies in a busy work environment. That said, not all days in the office are created equal, and when you really need something to be convenient—like getting a good lunch on a snowy day—a micro market will be there for your people.
The beauty of micro markets is the selection that can be offered in a relatively small space. Your people won’t be forced to pick from just one or two items if they choose to stay out of the snow; they’ll still have a nice selection for their lunch or snacks, including some healthy food options. When convenience is partnered with variety, everyone wins in the end.
A Welcome Stress Reducer
Everyone in your office may be on edge when difficult weather conditions are brewing outside. They could be worried about their family, thinking about how they’ll get home, and weighing other concerns (nighttime shoveling, anyone?). You can’t take away all of their issues in a storm, but having a micro market on hand to make sure they have food available means there is one less thing to worry about. Helping your people cut down on stress is not only the right thing to do, but it should help them be more focused in the office, leading to an uptick in productivity.
Investing in Relationships
The best way to think about adding a micro market to your office is to look at it as an investment in the relationships that exist in your building. You’ll be strengthening the connection that you as an owner or manager have with the people who work for you. They will see that you care about the experience they have while working for your business, and your efforts to make the office more comfortable and enjoyable will be appreciated. That appreciation will be at an all-time high when the snow comes down and your people don’t have to leave the office to get something to eat.
Also, new relationships can form between members of your team, as they’ll spend time together in and around the market while picking out something to eat. If you have been looking for ways to form stronger bonds and bring various divisions of your business together, a micro market is a great step in that direction.
For More Than Just Bad Weather
Having a micro market in your building is handy when the weather gets nasty, but that’s only a small part of the motivation to add this feature for your people. Micro markets are a great way to boost employee productivity, promote interaction in the office, and generally make your business a better place to work.
