A breakroom is an area of the office where employees go to eat lunch, relax and have some fun between shifts. The room often acts as a communal center where personal announcements are posted and informal gatherings are held. Some companies even use the breakroom for weekly meetings. Creating a relaxing space helps to relieve daily stress and makes long workdays less taxing. Any breakroom can be made into a pleasant area. Read on.
Create An Inviting Space.
The arrangement and setup of a breakroom makes a large difference when employees come in to eat or relax. Tables should be spaced far enough apart so that there is space to move around even when the room is full and also to accommodate someone who wants to eat alone. It is also helpful to have some simple supplies on each table. This might include napkins, straws and even disposable silverware so that workers do not have to scrounge for supplies during lunch.
Make The Breakroom Interesting. A breakroom is more relaxing when it does not resemble the sometimes monochrome decor of the larger office. Adding color is done by painting parts of the walls, hanging posters and placing lively decorative elements around the room. Magazines that are on the tables or placed in stands on the wall give employees a chance to read something that will divert attention away from the stresses encountered while working.
Keep The Area Clean.
Even the most colorful and interesting space will become an unwelcomed area if it is not kept clean. While each employee should be responsible for their own dishes, basic maintenance is still a necessity. Keeping a breakroom cabinet of cleaning supplies, like paper towels and spray cleaners, provides workers with the tools necessary to deal with minor messes throughout the day. It is also important to keep items like dish soap and hand sanitizer handy, so that individuals are able to take responsibility for personal dishes and personal health when they have finished in the breakroom.
Perhaps the most important solution to creating a useful and relaxing breakroom is to equip your office breakroom with vending machines and/or a Micro-Market that offers foods which are regularly replenished so they are always fresh and ready to eat. Office breakrooms should be stocked with sources for quick energy filled foods, ideal for employees looking for a healthy, quick meal option.
