Three workplace wellbeing trends that you need to know for 2023.

Workplace wellbeing is a term to describe how happy, safe, and motivated employees feel in their place of work. Leaders have always had to accept that this requires flexible practices that will regularly change.

As we enter 2023, Coinadrink Limited the vending machine operator explores three wellbeing trends that will shape the workplace across the next 12 months.

1. Employee power threatens staff retention.

In a world where staff are able to decide how and where they work, leaders are under greater pressure to conform to the exact requirements employees have from their traditional workplace.

The seed was first planted in 2022. Such a candidate driven marketplace is becoming a colossal threat to staff retention: if employees feel another company could better meet their working preferences, it’s easier than ever to make the switch. All businesses now have to take a proactive mindset towards workplace wellbeing as so to avoid the “Great Resignation” threat.

Promoting a more positive workplace culture is key and a new year marks a new opportunity to put plans into action. This means communicating with staff to discover what would make their workplace better, for the times that they are in.

Coinadrink offers quality refreshment solutions that represent meaningful employee perks, whether you want to uplift a downhearted communal space with a small coffee machine or overhaul available space with fully managed vending services or a Micro Market.

2. A focus on preventative maintenance.

Did you know that the impact of presenteeism can cost businesses up to £4000 per employee per year? In some ways, presenteeism can be more damaging than absenteeism.

All leaders need their teams to stay productive, but you should know by now that it doesn’t just “happen”. The average employee works 35 hours a week, which equates to over 84,000 hours across your life. That’s a lot of time spent working, which means the kind of culture you implement will drastically impact whether an employee is productive or not.

A bold and dynamic approach to workplace wellness will nurture a healthy and engaged team who are more motivated to deliver the results you need. It will also mean you are better prepared for each employees’ unique risk factors and unforeseen challenges.

A traditional study from Staples found that 85% of staff who take regular breaks are more productive when they are at work. Coinadrink’s refreshment solutions encourage teams to step away from their desks and informally collaborate with colleagues over tea, coffee, or a bite to eat, whenever your staff are in the workplace.

In 2022 we noticed a much higher demand for dedicated breakout solutions and it’s easy to see why. Whether you want to upgrade your existing facility or develop a new space, talk to us about how we can help.

3. The new “work-life” balance.

As established view of a work-life balance consists of working from the office or workplace and then going home at the end of the day to unwind. Today, it is a bit more complex, but still just as important for workplace wellbeing.

To promote a blossoming work-life balance you actually need to separate the workplace from the home, especially with more staff hybrid and home working in today’s modern world. A work-life balance needs to consider how to minimise stress whatever the source, because it will show your staff that you care for them as a person in addition to just an employee.

For example, the cost-of-living crisis is a big cause of stress. Lots of companies are exploring ways to take the pressure off, from issuing supermarket vouchers to hiring financial experts to discuss ways they can ease the burden.

Coinadrink can’t offer your business those benefits, but we can make it easy for your staff to talk about their worries with colleagues. Having a chat over a hot drink has been commonplace for generations, so why not investigate vending furniture to enhance areas intended for wind down and discussion?

It’s amazing what a simple office coffee or vending machine can do in your workplace.
