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.

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.

Judson Kleinman July 6, 2023

Break room snacks make everything better. Not only are free snacks a brilliant mid-afternoon boost, research shows that employees who have access to healthy food in their company break room are happier and more productive. There’s something to be said about not having to venture outside the building onto New York City streets for your snack fix. While just 16 percent of employees report they have high-quality beverages and free food at their workplace, 67 percent of employees with snacks are “extremely” or “very” happy with their employer. While providing nuts, granola and other essential snacks to your New York City, New Jersey and Manhattan employees isn’t as costly as other employee perks, it makes a significant difference to your people. Entrepreneur Beth Monaghan reports that snacks are a big factor at companies where people look forward to being at work. Per Entrepreneur, the benefits go well beyond employee happiness

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

Establishing a Corporate Wellness Program Will Give Your Business a Shot in the Arm Time for a Wellness Visit—at the Office There are excellent reasons for companies to initiate a corporate wellness program and now is the perfect time, as employees return to the office. Not only will it improve your team’s overall health and productivity, but it can also lower health care, workman’s comp, and disability costs; reduce absenteeism; and increase employee motivation and loyalty. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 7 of the top 10 causes of death were chronic diseases–among the most costly and preventable.
