The Break Room – Feed Your Profitability

Does your break room boost productivity, or does it hamper it?

If you can’t answer this question, there’s a chance you may not be leveraging a vital team-building and problem-solving tool.

On one level, an efficiently designed break room offers your employees more time to relax, which helps morale and ultimately productivity. A happier employee is a harder-working employee. But on a deeper level, a break room done right is an invaluable team-building tool.

The break room is the one place where members from different departments congregate and relax. Sure, they’re going to talk about last night’s football game, but they also will inevitably discuss their day-to-day work issues or questions.

A good break room fosters these relationships. Look at it this way: lunchtime discussions often involve topics brought up at formal meetings, but only better. These meetings are informal, which lets your employees discuss problems or challenges with peers in a relaxed manner. Many issues are resolved over a simple cup of coffee, instead of a stiff, formal meeting on company time!

And a well-equipped, attractive break room also encourages employees to stay at the office during lunch, which will lead into those meaningful conversations and team building, as well as reducing time spent traveling off-site for lunch.

Anatomy of a Good Break Room

It’s not just having a reasonably clean kitchen, tables and a microwave. Consider the lunch rush. Employees have only so much allotted time to eat and relax. If they have to wait to heat their lunch or wash their Tupperware, they have less time to recharge their batteries. Lunch becomes yet another task to endure.

Aptus Flex offers break rooms with two sinks, so your employees are not getting into each other’s way. We also provide ample counter space for several microwaves, allowing employees to prepare their meals together.
Like all of Aptus Flex furniture, our break rooms are completely modular. You can reconfigure to meet the needs of your growing workforce, or even take it with you if you move into a larger office space.

All products are fully wrapped in high-pressure, certified laminate (no melamine). Unlike most furniture, there is no exposed board anywhere on Aptus Flex products.

This is especially important for break room furniture, which are by nature good breeding grounds for bacteria and must be sturdy enough to resist inevitable spills. Fully wrapped furniture prevents moisture intrusion, which can cause warping as well as bacterial growth.
