A positive company culture provides an edge. Companies with superior culture are likely to enjoy happier employees who stay longer—and work more productively, creatively and collaboratively during their time at the organization. In fact, your company’s culture is closely tied to your company’s value—50 percent of today’s executives say that culture is a top-three driver of brand value and 84 percent believe poor culture is a liability and can lead to risky behavior by employees. While culture is a complex mixture of factors, don’t underestimate the importance of a communal space for your employees to take a few minutes to refresh, have fun and build relationships with their colleagues. A break room is more than just space for your employees to grab a cup of coffee or nitro cold brew—though research reveals that hot or cold caffeine does provide a boost in performance, creativity and your employees feeling valued. There’s a reason

The Office Hero Initiative

Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s… …THE OFFICE HERO INITIATIVE! This story begins with a single company mascot, Kate the Office Hero. Corporate Essentials hired The Draw Shop to create a white-board commercial for Corporate Essentials. The story features Kate, an employee at a company who wants to attract and retain top talent. After successfully implementing a coffee and healthy snack program with the help of Corporate Essentials, Kate is able to achieve her company’s goal and is transformed into an Office Hero. I loved the idea of Corporate Essentials having a mascot, so I took the character from the video, cleaned up her design a bit more, put a little life into her, and…SHAZAM! I officially turned her into “Kate the Office Hero”! Kate turned out to be a cute and spunky looking character, but I couldn’t stop there. From that point on, I decided to push

Our Locally Roasted Beans: Fresh is Best

Judson Kleinman June 6, 2017

For most of us, coffee is key to a successful morning. It is even the reason some of you get out of bed on those rough Mondays! That’s why it is so important to have freshly roasted coffee to get your day going. If you’re into specialty coffees, local roasters are definitely the way to go. Close locations guarantee the freshest beans because of the immediate roasting and delivery. Roasters that are located farther away cannot guarantee coffee quite as fresh for their customers because of the distance. Around-the-corner locations allow for faster shipping, support local businesses, and ultimately satisfy customers. Key word being fresh – people want to drink freshly brewed coffee, right? Corporate Essentials works with some of the best local roasters and distributors in the tri-state area, many of which have accelerated roasting and shipping schedules.

The Cold Brew Beverages Your Office Needs This Summer

Judson Kleinman May 30, 2017

With the weather heating up for the summer months, hot lattes are so three months ago. Today’s caffeine delivery method of choice for many, most likely including your employees, is cold brew. Think iced coffee but a lot smoother and without the bitter taste of a home iced coffee brew. The popularity of cold brew beverages can be attributed to the fact they’re prepared by being steeped at a cold temperature over a 12-hour period before they’re filtered and served with ice. As Peter Giuliano, senior director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America, describes cold brew, it’s “iced coffee taken seriously.” Cold Brew is Currently a Really Big Deal Cold brew is part of the “third wave coffee movement.” Today’s millennials are really into caffeine, but they’re eschewing energy drinks and sodas in favor of good, old-fashioned coffee like their grandparents drank. However, their preferences are nothing like yesterday’s generations
