Improve Employee Health

Taking a quick break can improve employee mental and physical health and boost morale. Even a few minutes away from the desk can improve mood, and the movement improves physical health including posture.

Encourage Daydreaming

It might seem odd to encourage your employees to daydream during the workday, but when we daydream we also solve problems and think more creatively. And, when we do, we also relieve workday stress.

Work in Workplace Fun

Employees need to have fun at work, too, and time in the break room engaging in social banter can make for more content employees. That’s why it can be beneficial to create small, intimate social spaces in the break room.

Allow Employees to Recharge

A break room can give employees the downtime needed to recharge. For an employee to take time out of the day to sit, plug their phones in and listen to some music and relax can improve employee morale considerably.

Giving employees the opportunity to rest and to form relationships outside of the bustle of the office can lower stress. Studies are very clear: when people lower stress levels, they feel more positive about work and life. And happy employees tend to be more productive!

Provide Respite

When employees spend their breaks recharging, they are more likely  to come back to work ready to tackle the projects in front of them with renewed energy and focus.

Boost Collaboration

Employees who play together, stay together. Organizations who build successful teams of people who work well together are also happier. Break rooms can promote positive social interactions, which can boost morale for the entire team.
