Let’s talk about the benefits of an in-office bar
Google, Amazon, Yelp and Vice…some of the world’s most respected (and successful) companies don’t hold back when it comes to employee perks – think chef-prepared meals, gym facilities and on-site hairdressers. These companies love their staff and they’re not afraid to show it, but what’s in it for them?
Well, happy workers are good workers, which means greater employee satisfaction, better workplace culture and higher quality work. There’s often great ROI when it comes to providing employee benefits, but for many companies, chef-prepared meals are just not feasible. Luckily, if you can’t see an on-site gym working or a resident hairdresser moving in, an in-office bar should do the trick!
The benefits of an in-office bar
Forget Happy Hour drinks at the overpriced pub down the road…you’ll be pouring perfect pints from your very own office! Sure, an in-house bar will be a whole lot of fun, but the benefits also extend to the business bottom line.
- Office collaboration – An in-office bar provides the perfect hub for employees to connect and collaborate, amazing ideas aren’t solely born in the boardroom! When it comes to innovation, research has found that employees desire social connection and engagement. There’s no denying that meeting rooms have an important place, but it’s the regular, informal interactions that encourage fun, creative collaboration between staff. An in-house bar is the perfect place for your team to enjoy a relaxed meeting over an ice-cold beer.
- Building friendships– An in-office bar can help create more opportunities for your team to bond. Is there a better way to network and strengthen team relationships than with a brew in hand? We don’t think so!
- Attracting talent – Not only is an in-office bar something that’d please your current employees (no surprises there), but it’s also a company asset that many modern workers find very attractive. If you’re looking to attract and retain more progressive, modern workers for your team, an in-office bar is the perfect cheeky selling point.
