A happy and healthy workforce doesn’t have to be a complex task…

A group of people sitting around a table with pizza, fostering a happy.

We have regularly enforced the belief that happy and healthy employees brings enticing benefits to your business and it’s pleasing that the message is getting through. Aon’s 2017 Health Survey showed that just 96% of employers see a direct correlation between employee health and performance. The problem is, though, that understanding the issue and finding ways to implement ideas are two different things. It can sometimes feel like a minefield and many of us haven’t a clue where to begin. On ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’, we have put together the following article to help get your business on the path to a higher productivity level.

Check out this perfume vending machine from 1950!

A pink machine with four buttons on it that dispenses perfume.

Does anyone else enjoy ‘going back in the day’ or is that just us? The history of vending is truly fascinating and the one aspect we’ve always enjoyed about the industry is seeing the flurry of old machines or products on the internet or social media. The latest one we’ve found is one that we just had to share: a perfume vending machine from 1950! How about that for a little ‘Thursday Throwback’?

This vintage dispenser was developed before even us. A dime was all that was needed for a woman to dispense a quick spray of her chosen perfume, to which the likes of Chanel was available. How good would this have been if you’ve left for a night out without remembering to have a quick spray, ladies?

Don’t make do with standard tap water this summer…go premium.

Don't make do with standard tap water this summer...enjoy premium hydration from a stylish black water dispenser.

We all know the importance of hydration, but there’s more to it than just drinking the appropriate amount. The quality of the water that you’re drinking is arguably just as important, and this is where the tap in your kitchen significantly lets you down. While it may be the most convenient way to keep hydrated, research and tests have shown that tap water contains up to 2100 different substances that you really don’t want to be consuming. This summer, relieve your staff from such an archaic form of refreshment, and install a water cooler in your workplace. Read more

Squash Stix coming to a water cooler near you very soon…

Squash Stix - an ideal alternative for water!

We regularly reiterate the importance of staying hydrated, but what happens if you aren’t a fan of water? Indeed, water isn’t for everyone and some of us crave something a little more flavoursome. The issue, however, is that fizzy drinks and fruit juices can be quite high in sugar, so the requirement is simple: offer a form of hydration that’s both simple and tasty. With the impending arrival of new Squash Stix, that’s exactly what we’ve done.

Just Small Change – A refreshing update from Kisumu, Kenya.

We're delighted to hear about further progress of Just Small Change.

As you know, Just Small Change is a microfinance charity that supports some of the poorest parts of the world. Peter and Jane Donaghue founded the organisation in 2011 and we are proud to call the couple as firm friends of ours. We are equally proud to support the charity, and we have donated to the organisation through lots of varied ways including a percentage of the money raised from the sales of our bottled water. We are always pleased to hear of success stories from the charity, and we’re delighted to now present another positive update from Kisumu in Kenya.

The importance of a water cooler in your workplace!

It’s certainly been a harsh winter, but the arrival of April has welcomed better conditions. Sun, blue skies and milder temperatures provide a welcome relief from what has been a bitterly cold few months, and gives us a taste of the summer season that we’re all desperately craving. So your staff can enjoy the hotter months, make sure you’re prepared. A sweltering office is no good for anyone, and the depths of dehydration can quickly set in. Help them work to their maximum potential and install a water cooler today.

The capsules behind the great beverages from the Dualit.

The Dualit is a great little machine that leaves a grand impression - and this is partly down to the capsules.

Workplace refreshments can work for everyone, but there is no ‘one size fits all’ method. No business or workplace is exactly the same, and their requirements will therefore be different. Because Coinadrink are unique in that we aren’t tied down to any particular vending supplier, it means we are able to select the very best machines for our customers and then tailor our services to suit them. The Nespresso-compatible Dualit Café Plus joined our diverse range back before Christmas, and it was the capsules that were one of the things that really grabbed our attention. We immediately saw a real benefit for our customers.
