Why a Well-Stocked Breakroom is Important
A key component of a productive and happy workspace is a modern breakroom. Today’s well-stocked breakroom is not what it used to be: gone are the days of offering only coffee and a handful of unhealthy snacks; in are the days of breakrooms stocked with plenty of good food and drink. Here are five reasons why providing a variety of healthy and filling options can make all the difference:
How to Maintain Low Print-Related Costs
In many offices, every operating cost is identified, analyzed, and optimized to keep the business as efficient as possible. Yet, print related costs are often overlooked in this refining process. On the surface, these costs seem simple — your office needs to print, copy, and scan, and you’ve got all the necessary equipment, so what else is there to consider? Well, consider that the average office employee prints 17 pages a day, and that according to the Gartner Group, 90% of companies don’t know how many printers they have or what they actually spend on printing. If you aren’t paying attention, you may be wasting money.
3 Trust-Building Activities for Managers
Positive professional relationships are the foundations of productive workplaces. After all, no single person can do everything on their own. We’ve talked about how collaboration and communication foster a happy and healthy office climate. But what really underlies an engaged and dynamic company culture is trust — between employees themselves, and between employees and managers. Trust is vital to engaging and efficient workplaces. Ignoring this factor creates disgruntled and disengaged employees, who annually cost organizations between $450 and $500 billion.

However, balancing work with life doesn’t have to add extra stress to your routine. Here are five healthy office habits that will help you stay productive while you’re at work.
The Importance of Collaboration in The Workplace

From boosting productivity to mitigating mistakes, here are reasons why encouraging collaboration is the best bet for your company.
Inspiring Your Team to Volunteer
Studies have shown that volunteering can reduce stress, prevent depression, and improve your overall health, making it as beneficial to the volunteer as the organization. These benefits, in turn, can keep employees happier and more engaged at work. But how do you get your employees or coworkers to spend some time volunteering instead of dwelling on the day-to-day aspects of running a business?
