Whether you’re hustling at a small startup or large corporate environment, a micro market or vending machine can be a game changer when it comes to your workplace snack and beverage offerings.

 Micro markets are stocked with fresh snacks, meals and beverages, all displayed with easy access and paid for with a single tap. Vending machines are your classic snack dispensers, where you can grab a quick treat or drink.

For over 80 years, Aramark Refreshments has been at the forefront of workplace wellness, offering comprehensive solutions that go beyond traditional food services. We believe that employee well-being and nourishment are directly tied to productivity, and we have evolved with the needs of a dynamic, modern workforce.

With micro markets and smart vending machines as our offerings, we have reshaped how companies offer healthy, energizing snack options to their teams.

Healthier Snacks = Happier Employees

For the current workforce, the workplace isn’t just about getting a paycheck - it's about balancing the hustle with well-being, both physical and mental. Micro markets and custom vending machines offer a wide breadth of healthy options including energy drinks, protein bars, salads, and even cold-pressed juices. 

We know that eating clean can fuel the grind, and what we eat affects how we think, work, and feel. The availability of healthier snacks can reduce stress, improve focus, and make the work day a whole lot smoother.

At Aramark Refreshments, we have seen this shift firsthand and have designed our services to meet the demand for clean, energy-fueling snacks. Our solutions offer a tangible improvement to the work culture.

Convenience Leads To Productivity Boosts

Workdays are busy, and team members don’t always have time to travel to grab a snack. Solutions like micro markets and vending machines cut out the need for long coffee runs or extended lunch breaks. Employees are still getting that much-needed snack but with less interruption.

Micro markets create an enticing snacking experience. When companies offer access to micro markets and vending machines, it’s a small yet powerful way of saying they’re invested in their teams. Knowing you have easy access to quick bites makes the workday less stressful and a lot more enjoyable.

At Aramark Refreshments, we have leveraged our decades of expertise to transform workplaces. As the future of work continues to evolve, so do our solutions. We are committed to remaining at the forefront of innovation, incorporating the latest in self-service technology and sustainable practices into our machines.

Individuals can choose from various payment methods such as credit card or employee key card to checkout. Micro markets and vending machines utilize Payment Card Industry-certified systems that don’t store credit card information, offering total peace of mind.

Offerings such as micro markets and vending machines are way more than just snack stops. They are a game-changer for staying energized, focused, and boosting workplace morale. Whether you are picking up a protein-loaded bar or indulging in an artisanal cold brew, these machines are a glow-up for your workplace. Get in touch with us today.

Vacation and Paid Time Off (PTO)

The 2015 EBRI study found that 12 percent of millennials value PTO over all other benefits (compared to only 6 percent of Baby Boomers). Millennials’ enthusiasm for PTO is reflective of their priority on work-life balance and desire for more control over their time.

Employers are devising creative ways to give employees more paid time off, like granting additional time off during the holidays. Holidays are a slow time of the year for many industries, making this a meaningful employee benefit with minimal business impact. Another PTO-related perk is paid leave for a birthday. Paid time off for a birthday is a personal gesture that makes team members feel valued and appreciated. Unlimited PTO has also become popular following implementation by big-name Silicon Valley companies. Unlimited PTO gives workers complete flexibility in taking time off and shows a high degree of trust in how employees manage their workloads. This trust in turn encourages higher levels of diligence and higher job satisfaction.

Performance Bonus

With many millennials placing increased value on travel, healthier lifestyles, and an overall increased level of self care, extra cash by way of performance rewards can be an extremely attractive benefit. End-of-the-year bonuses or awards that coincide with an employee’s annual review are traditional approaches to performance bonuses. However, some companies are bonusing with rewards other than cash, like tickets to events, certificates for travel, or paid expeditions. The latter approach is usually cheaper and is a more personalized way of incentivizing hard work and showing appreciation. This also makes it a good option for companies who may not be able to afford large bonuses for employees.

Flexible Schedule

A 2016 Flexjobs report found that 82 percent of millennials said they would be more loyal to an employer that offered flexible work options. Employers are accommodating this preference by allowing employees to clock in remotely or work flexible shifts. A Deloitte Millennial Survey in 2017 showed that 84 percent of millennials say their companies offer flexibility by way of hours, roles, or work locations.

Flexible schedules are an office perk that allows employees to take time off during the day for appointments, family events, and other personal reasons, which instills trust and empowers them to take care of themselves and their families.

Employee Development Programs & Tuition Reimbursement

Millennials seek faster career advancement than previous generations and prefer not to take on more student loan debt than they already have. This makes millennials eager to work for companies that offer employee development programs or tuition reimbursement. Employees appreciate when employers help them reach their educational and career goals, and employers benefit from the skills and ideas learned in the classroom. Because of the immense benefit on both sides, educational support is found on many lists of the best office perks.
