A well-stocked 'breakroom' improves morale and productivity

You might think coffee is a trivial matter, or that a granola bar does not equal a happy employee.

Perhaps this is not the case. Results of the survey indicate that the quality and ambiance of a breakroom has an impact on employees’ mood and motivation. They need and enjoy having a place to relax and rebuild energy.

Another online survey, this one by Staples.com in the United States, found that half the people in a typical office leave at least once a day to go on a coffee or snack run, and some reported doing this five or more times a day. That’s a lot of lost productivity, and that affects the bottom line.

“Our job is to help our customers – workplaces of various sizes – give their employees everything they need for best performance,” says Ilada Boriboun, a category manager for Staples Advantage (www.staplesadvantage.ca). “We know that breakroom supplies have to be high on that list, whether it’s coffee brewers, cleaners, tea, or crackers. Small investments in your breakroom will be seen as big gestures by employees.”

She says the bare bones of the breakroom include a refrigerator, microwave, sink, and eating area with comfortable seating, and that dishes, utensils, cleaning supplies and drinking water also need to be provided.

Free coffee and tea, and healthy snacks like mixed nuts, take it up a notch. If you can’t afford to provide beverages and snacks at no charge, Boriboun suggests using an honour box to collect some change.

“This is the place your employees gather to fuel up,” she says. “They do that by eating and they do that by making connections with other people. I think this is an easy one for leaders in organizations. People tell us often how important their breakrooms are.”

Frank Sinatra - The Coffee Song

The lyrics are as follows:

Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they’ve got to find those extra cups to fill
They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

You can’t get cherry soda
’cause they’ve got to fill that quota
And the way things are I’ll bet they never will
They’ve got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil

No tea or tomato juice
You’ll see no potato juice
’cause the planters down in Santos all say “No, no, no”

The politician’s daughter
Was accused of drinkin’ water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

[instrumental break]

You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil

And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives ‘em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil

No tea, no tomato juice
You’ll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say “No, no, no”

Spilled coffee is like so totally sad...

It pretty much involved a cup of coffee, and what appears to be a picture?  Other than that, all you need to be is a little mean, or maybe I should say ornery? I honestly cannot imagine doing this to someone, but who knows, maybe I am too sensitive?

Check out the coffee prank below, and the real question is, is this something you would do to your unsuspecting coworker, friend, or maybe even spouse?  Oh ouch, that would be brutal!

Starbucks... Coming to a Disney Theme Park Near You

How about some Starbucks with your Mickey Mouse?  For some people, like moms and pops, Starbucks coming to Disney Theme Parks may be a saving grace.  After all coffee just may very well perk up “the happiest place on earth.” Maybe?

The Seattle-based coffee giant announced on Monday, it has formed a partnership  with six Disney properties in California and Florida and will be opening a store inside of each.   It is reported that the first will open this summer at Disneyland California Adventure in Anaheim. The other locations will be at the nearby Disneyland Park and at the parks in Orlando, Fla. – Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot. The companies are still finalizing when the remaining stores will open.

Starbucks Corp. and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, a unit of The Walt Disney Co., did not disclose the financial terms of the deal.  What is next?  Starbucks invading our brains, probably.

How To Make Easy Tiramisu

I found this video on youtube today and I like because it shows how to make individual tiramisu pots.  I hate making a big pan of tiramisu because then one of two things happens: 1, I end up throwing away most of the pan or 2, I eat way too much of it.  Unfortunately it usually ends up being that I eat way too much of it!

Check out the following video on how to make some scrumptious sounding tiramisu pots!

Celebrate the springtime stress free

(ARA) – Nothing helps celebrate springtime more than a gathering with loved ones. With the season’s longer days and warmer weather, hosts and hostesses alike are looking for ways to increase the fun as family and friends get together and cut down on stress. You can do a variety of things in advance to make sure you’re prepared for spring holidays, graduation parties and the start of barbecue season.

Jeanne Benedict, lifestyle and entertaining expert and author of popular books including “The Sophisticated Cookie,” “Sophisticated Entertaining” and “Celebrations,” shares her advice to help get you ready for spring events. Here are some easy remedies for common entertaining challenges:

* Last-minute hostess gifts. Need a clever hostess gift? Find inspiration while grocery shopping. For example, pick up a bag of Dunkin’ Donuts (R) packaged coffee, available where you buy groceries. Limited time, seasonal flavors like Strawberry Shortcake and Toasted Almond make a great gift when paired with a seasonally inspired mug.

* Create a quick party atmosphere. Pick up a new set of votive candles and glass holders for an instant and elegant atmosphere. Expert tip: A little water in the bottom of the candleholder will help prevent melted wax from sticking to the glass.

* Low-cost festive touches. Utilize fresh, seasonal produce. Freeze strawberries, blueberries, fresh mint or citrus twists in ice cubes to add a hint of flavor to beverages when unexpected guests drop by.

* Keep the kids occupied. Be sure to have plenty of frozen sugar cookie dough on hand, along with sprinkles and seasonal cookie cutters, as a last-minute baking activity to do with little ones.

* Keep the adults occupied. For easy group entertainment, make sure you have a selection of classic board games available. Take a minute to make sure all the playing pieces are intact, cards are accounted for and pencils are sharpened.

* Contain the spills and thrills. Have a stain stick handy for the inevitable table mishaps. On picnic tables, weigh down tablecloths with condiment containers or heavy vases of fresh flowers.

Adds Benedict, “By being prepared ahead of time for common party mishaps, you’ll have more opportunities to enjoy your guests, the great party you’ve prepared, and celebrate springtime stress-free.”

International Delight Iced Coffee

Ohhh yeah, I love a good iced coffee. Especially this time of year and the upcoming hellishly hot summer months of the midwest. Since the weather has shifted to the type of weather where I need to run the AC, I have switched from dark rich hot coffee, to lighter, a tad sweeter iced coffee. One thing I’m currently enjoying is International Delight Iced coffee in VANILLA flavor. I have tried all three and personally, I enjoy the vanilla kind the most.

The three flavors they offer are: Original, Mocha and Vanilla. They describe it as

• Made with 100% premium Arabica coffee
• Authentic Coffeehouse flavors
• ready to drink
• perfectly blended

Overall, I really like the quick conveinece of the drink.  I have to say it is a bit too sweet, so I usually add some cold coffee to it, to make it more like an authentic iced coffee.  In a pinch it will do lovely, and those who enjoy a sweet coffee drink will covet this one.
