Estimated read: 2 minutes 

 

Bringing your team together for a breakfast gathering can contribute towards a positive and productive work environment. As well as starting the day with delicious dishes, you’ll be contributing towards so much more… Read on for the benefits. 

 

Strengthens Team Relationships - sharing a breakfast, even if held in the usual work environment, allows team members to bond outside of the usual work setting, like at the coffee station or at desks. It allows people to relax, fosters a sense of camaraderie and helps build stronger interpersonal relationships. 

 

Improves Communication - breakfast provides a more relaxed setting for team members to communicate openly, share ideas and discuss work-related topics in a casual way, which can of course enhance collaboration. 

 

Boosts Morale and Motivation - when a company or team organises a breakfast, it shows appreciation and support for its employees, perhaps after a long project has completed of for the support during a difficult time in the business activities. This can boost morale, making people feel valued which can lead to increased motivation and enthusiasm. It’s a win all around! 

Encourages Inclusivity - a team breakfast is a great way to bring together people from different departments or levels within the company, fostering a sense of inclusion and unity across the team. It may be that some of these team members rarely meet in person, particularly if many of them have options to work from home. 

 

Enhances Creativity - the informal atmosphere of a breakfast can encourage great brainstorming, leading to fresh ideas and creative solutions. A relaxed conversation may spark innovative thoughts from team members who may not speak up in a formal meeting. 

 

Promotes Wellness - if the breakfast includes some healthy option dishes, it can encourage team members to adopt better eating habits and focus on their overall wellbeing. This could lead to higher energy levels and better focus during working time. 

 

Increases Productivity - starting the day with a nutritious meal and social interaction can set a real positive tone for the rest of the working day, leading to higher energy and improved productivity. 

 

Builds Trust and Loyalty - spending time together outside of work tasks helps build trust amongst team members, fostering a positive work environment. This can translate into better cooperation and loyalty to the team and company. 

Reduces Stress - the informal setting of a breakfast can help to reduce workplace stress. People can relax, enjoy their food and connect with others, which contributes to an overall feeling of wellbeing, plus it’s one less thing to think about on a morning before dashing out of the door! 

 

Fun and Positive Atmosphere - organising a team breakfast can create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere, breaking up the monotony of the regular work routine and allowing everyone to start the day on a positive note. 

 

By bringing your team together over a breakfast gathering, you’re not just feeding them, you’re helping to build a more connected, motivated and effective team.
