Is Chocolate the Best Way to Improve Morale?

Yesterday the Vmeals Lounge/Party Place was buzzing with activity – no tequila, but lots of chocolate!

We celebrated Dawn’s birthday (you remember her – she put herself in harm’s way to make Shasean Williams day). We had one of the most festive cakes I’ve ever seen covered in M&Ms. We also brought in an ice cream maker and we had ridiculously good/rich/deadly chocolate ice cream with optional Reeses and Oreo pieces.

 

Not only were we celebrating a birthday, we were punching up the weekly sales meeting and building team morale. How? With food, of course. We don’t eat just to survive; eating is highly social and (hopefully) pleasurable.

So what better way to celebrate your accomplishments, reward staff, make meetings more enjoyable, and impress clients than with food? Vmeals makes it easy.

Sandwich trays are always appreciated, but you might also consider a mid-week coffee bar to get the team over the hump or a sweet Friday afternoon cupcake break. When so many workplaces are cutting back on perks, salaries and even staff, here’s one of the simplest and most affordable ways to show your appreciation.

What other ways do you keep spirits up around the office?
