Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day yet many employees skip it because of many reasons. From diets, to timing constraints, many employees skip the most important meal which reduces productivity. Breakfast is a jump start to fire the engine and productivity rate can be reduced by up to 50% – 75% if one skips it.
In a time when dieting is frequent and time is always too short, many people are skipping breakfast because of their unhealthy lifestyle. There’s also the issue of money and getting a few more minutes of sleep by skipping breakfast which can devastate productivity during the morning.
It is actually pretty hard to enforce the workforce to have breakfast every morning unless you spend a little money. One way is to provide them the meal and have a little breakfast gathering in the office. Have healthy food on the table and have them sit down and take 5-10 minutes to eat something. This is also a great way to start the day by socializing with co-workers while eating breakfast.
Breakfast should not be skipped, especially if your employees are working early in the morning. The best way to accomplish this is by spending some money to provide them breakfast like bagels, fruits, sandwiches, muffins, tea, orange juice and coffee. Is not that expensive, and it shows that you care about them. If you care about them, they will care about you.
