Why hipster coffee trends will become a workplace norm

Happiness in the workplace cannot be underestimated – employees are 20% more productive if they’re in good spirits, according to a study by Warwick University.

Furthermore, 90% of the British workforce would prefer a happy office environment rather than an extra day’s holiday – fresh fruit, daily treats and coffee are strong contenders to make your workforce smile.

Staff with access to coffee were productive for 24 minutes more a day than their non-caffeinated counterparts, according to data from Service Partner One. The firm go on to theorise that if every worker had access to a coffee machine the UK economy could save £42.7billion via increased productivity.
