Free food at work

I'm not crazy, research proves this out! According to this Mashable article on boosting employee morale:

survey by Seamless revealed 60% of respondents say having food at the office makes them feel more "valued and appreciated." In addition, 40% say that having food in the office reduces personal stress levels.

Working at a media agency, there are plenty of things you never have to pay for in everyday life because they are continuously delivered to the office. Some of these include:

  • Office supplies,
  • notebooks,
  • chapstick,
  • mints,
  • movie tickets,
  • candy, and most of the time - 
  • lunch. 

Even if the food is not the healthiest option, it does reduce stress and make me feel valued (or lucky) that I can save some money by eating at work. If there is anything I have learned in the past year, moderate the amount and type of office food you eat to not overload on carbs or sugar. With the holiday season coming up and plenty of sweets around the office, it's time to be careful!
