With the holiday season in the rearview, companies are looking forward to creating a welcoming experience for their employees in the office.

Strategies for Bringing Employees Back to the Office in 2022… and Keeping Remote Team Members Engaged

Judson Kleinman March 3, 2022

It’s 2022 and in the almost-post-COVID era, the return to the office is really happening. Many companies are figuring out how to bring employees back to their locations in the new normal of the on-site workplace. There’s a lot to consider to ensure that team members are comfortable, protected, and happy to be back. Those water cooler moments or break room gatherings might look slightly different today, workspaces could be reconfigured, and for the NY and NJ clients we serve, indoor restaurant dining may not yet be comfortable for everyone. Employers must also support their remote employees who still want to feel “part of the team.” Keeping WFH team members engaged and satisfied presents new challenges that require fresh thinking. In addition, many employers might have to balance a hybrid on-site/off-site workforce. These factors present challenges to maintaining a positive company culture and employee connections to each other and to

Food for Thought: Micro Markets in the Workplace

Judson Kleinman August 4, 2021

Summer’s here, the pandemic is passing, and your team is coming back to the office. After months of working virtually, there may be a bit of an adjustment period as everyone adapts to structured breaks and lunch hours. With that in mind, you may want to consider the addition of a micro market to your office floor plan. What Are Micro Markets? A significant corporate trend, micro markets are miniature food retail spaces with self-checkout technology. These facilities provide a convenient, healthy, and straightforward fueling experience for the workplace. They are easy to use and are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They can be designed to fit virtually any space, need no staffing, and employees love the convenience. They are intended to be used with auto-payment apps that promote touch-free transactions through mobile devices. Why are Micro Markets Better than Vending Machines? Unlike traditional vending machines,

Dish Up an Environmentally Friendly Break Room

Judson Kleinman August 3, 2021

How sustainable are your break room supplies? Your employees are taking note! An article from Industry Today states that businesses that wish to attract millennials need to invest in healthy environmental practices. Thus, companies are trending toward using sustainable alternatives to plastic utensils and styrofoam plates in their kitchens and break rooms to address the concerns of their environmentally conscious employees. Gaining control of the ever-increasing amount of plastic waste on our planet is a colossal endeavor. Plastic Oceans states that 50% of all plastics produced are used for single purposes—once used, they are thrown away. A recent study by National Geographic states that only 9% of plastics are actually recycled. However, we can begin with simple, small steps and the company break room is the perfect place to start! Why Go Green? Sustainable Products are Kind to the Environment The manufacturing of plastics can cause chemical gases and toxins

Fresh Stone Fruit in Spring From Corporate Essentials

Judson Kleinman April 12, 2019

Get ready for warmer weather! It’s the start of the next season. Spring is often associated with sunny days, beautiful flowers, and fresh fruit. Perhaps it’s due to the delicious fruits that are harvested each year. Spring is a great time to get yourself acquainted with any fruits you missed during winter – especially stone fruits! Who knows, maybe you’ll try one you’ve never heard of and it’ll become a new favorite. When fruit is eaten out of season, it can taste less flavorful than it normally tastes during its harvest. That’s why Corporate Essentials works with a local distributor for the fruit we sell. They’re experts in the field of “produce distribution”; in other words, they understand what separates good fruit from the best fruit. When it comes to finding choices that contain the health benefits you need, you want the best available. Trust us, there are plenty of

Rickaroons: The New Standard For Delicious Energy Snacks

Judson Kleinman November 27, 2018

The search for a healthy and delicious, dietary friendly energy snack is over! Rickaroons have accomplished the un-accomplishable. Creamy almond butter comes together with real flakes of coconut and ingredients rich in antioxidants. The resulting snack gives you the slow-burning energy you need, while also tasting like a decadent dessert. We also love how the company is family owned and operated. With roots in San Diego, CA, they are the epitome of “teamwork makes the dream work.” The Evolution of the Rickaroon It all started with Rick. As a vegan triathlete in the 80’s, Rick LeBeau created a recipe based off of a macaroon that would give him the energy he needed to power through his workouts. Over the years Rick continued to tinker with the recipe, especially when he began dating a woman with Multiple Sclerosis in the early 2000’s. At the recommendation of her doctors she went gluten-free,
