Brewing success: How tea, coffee, and refreshments shape the modern workplace experience

Reading time: 4 min

With the rise of hybrid working, the role of the office has evolved. According to Leesman’s* latest findings, employees increasingly view the office as a space for collaboration and interaction, while individual tasks are often completed remotely. As a result, refreshment areas and communal spaces in the office have become even more important. These areas serve as the new social and collaborative hubs where employees can connect after days of remote work. According to the latest research from Leesman, workplaces that prioritise high-quality refreshment facilities see measurable improvements in overall employee experience and productivity, including a strong sense of community and higher job satisfaction.

At Selecta, we recognise the strategic importance of these powerful workplace elements. Our premium refreshment solutions are designed not just to provide high-quality beverages but to transform the workplace into a more inviting, collaborative, and productive environment. Here’s how our solutions are aligned with the research and bring real value to your organisation.

1. Elevating employee well-being through refreshments

The Leesman research shows that 74% of employees in top-performing workplaces are satisfied with their tea, coffee, and refreshment facilities, compared to just 59% in average offices. These facilities play a crucial role in creating spaces where employees can unwind, think creatively, and recharge. By offering a range of high-quality beverages, varying from coffee, tea to – flavoured - water and soft drinks, Selecta ensures that employees have access to drinks that make them feel appreciated and energised throughout the day.

2. Creating spaces for connection and collaboration

Selecta goes beyond just providing beverages. We help create inviting spaces, such as coffee corners or break areas, where employees can come together for informal discussions and foster meaningful connections. These spaces are critical in hybrid and modern office setups, where face-to-face interactions are more valuable than ever. According to Leesman, workplaces with well-designed communal areas contribute significantly to a sense of belonging and community.

3. Sustainability and innovation at the core

In line with growing environmental awareness, Selecta integrates sustainable practices in everything we do. From eco-friendly packaging to energy-efficient coffee machines and innovative – fresh – milk systems, we help companies reduce their environmental impact while maintaining a high level of service and convenience. By aligning your office with these sustainable solutions, you not only enhance employee satisfaction but also demonstrate a commitment to corporate responsibility.

4. Supporting a positive office culture

Having a well-designed refreshment area is about more than just boosting energy levels. It’s about creating moments of joy and a workplace culture that values breaks, informal interactions, and relaxation. The Leesman report highlights that offices with high satisfaction levels in refreshment facilities also see an improvement in the sense of community, which is vital for a cohesive and connected workforce.

At Selecta, we offer a holistic approach to refreshment solutions that combine premium quality, sustainable practices, and innovative technology to enhance the employee experience. Whether it’s crafting the perfect coffee corner or designing a dedicated space for informal meetings and breaks, our solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of your workplace.
