It’s that time of the year again when the weather is warming up and hydration becomes that bit more important. 

As business leaders continually explore fresh ideas to improve employee wellbeing and drive productivity at work, the addition of a water dispenser could be the key to real results. 

WHAT THE STATISTICS SAY. 

Whilst we know the importance of staying hydrated, it is interesting to explore the consequences of not doing so. 

More importantly for business leaders, how do these closely connect to performance at work? 

- A 2% water loss is proven to have a negative impact on athletes, meaning those who do heavy lifting in their role will also suffer. 

Just a 1% loss can affect cognitive ability, reduced concentration, and slower reaction times.

- Losing around the same amount of water causes our body tissue to contract, which can lead to headaches and other illness. 

 

It is estimated that around three-quarters of our brains are made up of water. 

Feeding it with fluids on a regular basis is crucial to keep it, and us, performing to our potential in the workplace. 

AN EMPLOYEE PERK THAT ALSO BENEFITS YOUR BUSINESS. 

The modern workplace isn’t a place where employees are expected to work like robots for seven or eight hours a day. 

Introducing employee perks improves satisfaction, increases motivation to perform, and enhances wider company culture that could lead to retaining and attracting star talent. 

Even something as simple as a water dispenser on site shows you care for your teams’ health and wellbeing. 

It is also interesting to analyse additional statistics that show just how strongly desired this type of perk is in the modern workplace. 

- Studies have shown that workers who have quick and easy access to drinking water are subsequently 25% happier at work. 

- 43% said “water cooler conversation” with colleagues was one of the biggest things they missed during the Covid-19 lockdown. 

With obvious improvements to general happiness and wellbeing, a workplace water dispenser is a great employee perk. 

WATER DISPENSERS THAT PRIORITISE MORE THAN JUST DRINKING WATER. 

Whilst bottled water coolers provide no-frills hydration, boxed coolers and plumbed-in dispensers prove workplace drinking water solutions can be far more than they initially appear. 

Let’s start with boxed water coolers, which replace the traditional bottle that sits atop the cooler with a fully recyclable box that is instead places inside. 

Then there’s uber-premium water dispensers. With cutting edge-designs meticulously crafted here in the UK, and with technologies that maximise hygiene and efficiency to save your business money, these solutions raise the bar.
