Four Benefits of Offering Breakfast in your NY/NJ Office

Judson Kleinman December 20, 2023

Grabbing food and eating breakfast on the run, whether they’re sitting on buses, catching trains, or driving their cars, isn’t a great start to your employees’ day. Skipping breakfast is even worse. People roll in late, harried, stressed and sluggish…and that sets the tone for the rest of their workday. As a decision-maker in your NJ or NYC office, you can prevent hangriness and slow starts by offering breakfast in the break room. Brainstorm office breakfast ideas with your team and make this feel-good daily kickoff an easy way to boost the whole team’s well-being. Here are the four biggest benefits of offering office breakfast, and ideas on what to provide: 1 – Breakfast sets a happy mood for your team Imagine how much of a relief it will be for your employees when they arrive at the office and breakfast is waiting for them in your break room.

The Value of Simple Holiday Get-Togethers In the Office

Judson Kleinman December 13, 2023

Finding ways to fuel a positive office culture throughout the year is key to any company’s success (on several levels). Hosting holiday get-togethers is one way to do so. Office get-togethers can be lavish, off-premise catered affairs and the New York City metro area, where we are located, certainly has the venues to accommodate those. But sometimes, a more intimate gathering strikes the perfect note to keep your team connected and engaged. Reasons to Keep the Holiday Get-Togethers Simple Consider keeping your office holiday party low-key with a potluck dinner, happy hour, or a simple lunch—and keep it on your premises. These options work well because: a) No one has to get dressed up if they don’t want to. b) The party is in a familiar environment and everyone knows where it is. c) It is easier to make conversation in a more intimate setting. d) It’s easy

How a Robust Coffee Program Helps Bring Employees Back to Your NYC/NJ Office

Judson Kleinman August 10, 2023

Employers throughout NYC and NJ are encouraging more employees to return to the office. If you’re getting pushback from your team about coming back, consider the results of a study from Joblist: Among Gen Z employees, 57% would prefer returning to a physical workplace compared to 34% of millennials and 37% of baby boomers. These youngest employees expressed the least interest in a remote or hybrid arrangement (21%) compared to 33% of millennials and 31% of baby boomers. In interpreting these statistics, Tim Rowley of the talent acquisition firm PeopleCaddie said Gen Z is seeking the traditional benefits of in-person work such as networking, mentorship for career progression, and on-the-job training. They want that sense of office community that cannot be replicated in WFH arrangements. They (and the rest of your team) also want great coffee at your Manhattan, Brooklyn, or New Jersey office.

Stocking Your Office’s Micro Market or Pantry in NY & NJ

Judson Kleinman July 31, 2023

Companies throughout the greater NY metro market—from northern NJ to the five boroughs of NYC—are bringing employees back to the office in greater numbers. One way to keep your team happy and fueled throughout the work day is through a micro market or pantry service. Micro markets and office pantries are somewhat similar—especially when set up, stocked, and attended by Corporate Essentials. “Establishing a micro market or a fully stocked office pantry are both ways to elevate the office break room,” said Judson Kleinman, CEO of Corporate Essentials. “The break room has always been integral to the success of many of our NY area clients, and providing great coffee and food has always been important. But today, elevating the break room with full pantry service has become even more important.” Pantry Service for NY and NJ Businesses The pantry service from Corporate Essentials creates an up-leveled break room. It’s a

How Corporate Essentials Can Be Part of the Plan to Elevate Your NYC/NJ Break Room Experience

Judson Kleinman July 26, 2023

Employers throughout the NYC/NJ metro area are bringing employees back to the office more and more . . . and they are tasked with finding office perks that their teams desire. An elevated break room experience is one office perk that’s making a difference. And when you make Corporate Essentials part of the plan to elevate your break room, everyone at your location benefits—from the business owner to the office manager or human resource director to your employees. The Importance of A Rewarding Break Room Experience When a company offers a nice break room, employees notice—and use it.

It’s where they leave workday stress behind for a while as they socialize and refuel, or hold an impromptu team meeting over coffee. In short, a rewarding break room experience reflects your company’s positive corporate
