There’s an old saying that money can’t buy happiness, and a study by Glassdoor says that millennials agree. As a company, there’s value in retention of skilled employees. If you cannot offer things like flexible hours or holidays due to the nature of your business, here are three things you can change to ensure that your employees are happy.
#1 – Upgrade Office Chairs
Employees across the globe are increasingly faced with the challenge of immobility. On average, we spend over 90,000 waking hours at work and most of this time is spend in front of a desk. This lifestyle is taking a toll on our backs and necks, increasing workplace injuries. An easy way to bypass this problem is by upgrading your office's chairs.
#2 – Invest in a Coffee & Water Service
While you may not be able to afford to take the entire team out to dinner, keeping a stock breakroom is the next best thing. Breakrooms can help employees unwind and recalibrate throughout the day. And while there are many tips on keeping an employee productive, there’s nothing like a good cup of Joe.
#3 – Use Events to Engage
A big part of making a company collaborative is by engaging them in company-wide events. Through our Recycle for a Reason and our Food Drive Partnership programs, you can make team challenges throughout your company. Try seeing who can recycle the most toners or bring in the most canned food items. Remember, half the battle of motivation comes the environment that we surround ourself in. A positive outlook can not only change the entire day, but also your team's productivity.
