Providing water coolers can boost productivity and ultimately profit

The facts are clear, having water coolers in the workplace can benefit your business in several ways:

1. Increased productivity: Dehydration can lead to fatigue and decreased cognitive function, which can impact productivity. By providing access to water coolers, businesses can help employees stay hydrated and focused, leading to increased productivity and improved performance.

2. Improved employee health: Encouraging employees to stay hydrated can help prevent illnesses and reduce the number of sick days taken. By promoting good health, businesses can also reduce healthcare costs associated with employee illnesses.

3. Cost savings: Providing water coolers in the workplace can help businesses save money on the purchase and disposal of single-use plastic bottles. Additionally, businesses can save time by eliminating the need for employees to leave the office to purchase bottled water.

4. Positive corporate image: Demonstrating a commitment to employee health and sustainability can help businesses build a positive corporate image. This can lead to increased customer loyalty and support, as well as attracting and retaining top talent.

5. Improved employee satisfaction: Offering water coolers in the workplace can show employees that their employer cares about their wellbeing. This can boost morale and improve employee satisfaction, leading to increased loyalty and reduced turnover rates.

The nuts and bolts are that having water coolers in the workplace can benefit businesses by improving productivity, reducing healthcare costs, saving money, promoting a positive corporate image, and increasing employee satisfaction. Providing employees with access to clean drinking water is a small but impactful way for businesses to invest in their employees’ health and wellbeing, ultimately leading to a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce.

Tim is also looking forward to what Cole can learn and share with others. “Many trucks are now hybrid and electric, so we need to upskill our staff to be able to manage and maintain them. I’d like to see Cole as one of the head technicians in the electric vehicle side so he can lead by example and lead the team.”

Cole is super grateful for the scholarship and didn’t think he would be awarded it, however with great support from his employer and an honest application he succeeded. “When I was thinking about applying, I was thinking was it worth it, will I get it. But I just put my name down and gave it a go and it paid off. If others are looking at applying next year just give it a go, be as honest as possible and have as much information in your application letter as possible.”
