Create A Traditional Pantry Snack Haven To Boost Staff Morale!

Our average working hours in Singapore are pretty long and at times, dreary.

Singaporean employees stay at least 8 hours in the office and some maybe even more (think OT!) for 5 days a week. It’s really not an exaggeration when people say the office is our “second home”. This goes to say, the office pantry has a significant value. 

Why do some offices like Google, pay so much attention to their office pantry?

Well, the answer is clear.

An office pantry is a place for office gatherings to boost morale, encourage collaboration and impress clients.

Do you know a well-stocked pantry can actually boost productivity? In a study, 57% of working professionals buy their own snacks and beverages at work. Not limited to that, one in two respondents reported leaving the office for a coffee or snack run at least once a day and some as many as five times a day.

We’re guilty as charged! 

According to Inc. Magazine, 60% of working professionals mentioned having free snacks in the office makes them feel “valued and appreciated”.

How about incorporating traditional snacks in the office pantry?

There’s much to love about old-school snacks and candies, and when you crave for them and want to make a quick snack run, you don’t find them in just any store around the corner anymore. 

 Traditional snacks let us take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about these fond memories with the people around us. Each of them boasts of a unique flavor and has a sense of nostalgia attached to them.

Today, traditional snacks tend to get overshadowed by more popular foods but there’s still something gold about them being so simple that we really treasure. They succinctly represent our heritage and bring a special flavor to the office pantry environment when hosting international clients!
