There’s no disputing coffee breaks are a great opportunity to relax and unwind but also serve to enhance productivity levels, increase focus, and lowers stress levels at work.  Raimonda Iškauskaitė, writing for the European Social Entrepreneurship and Innovative Studies Institute, draws attention to the importance of coffee breaks by helping individuals to connect with colleagues and providing an opportunity to clear your head.

Time for a break…

The unprecedented move by the UK Government calling for society to implement social distancing strategies to help slow down the spread of COVID-19 has inevitably resulted in an increased number of organisations encouraging employees to work from home as part of a business continuity plan and naturally, teams are coming together in online coffee breaks.

Switch off for a while this Easter

As part of a coping strategy, online coffee breaks can help overcome periods of stress and eliminate the feeling of loneliness and isolation, boosting camaraderie between individuals and teams. In Dr Pernille Stroebaek’s paper “Let’s Have a Cup of Coffee! Coffee and Coping Communities at Work”, communities of coping were created through coffee break encounters, though it was noted these were often difficult spaces for newcomers to enter.  For new employees, online coffee breaks can be the game changer, allowing them to build connections with new colleagues.  Online coffee breaks provide a platform for newcomers to learn more about the organisation, people and culture and help build closer working relationships.

The Creation of a New Order of Things

For most people running a small business, the current and future situation looks challenging. As the government steps forward with packages of support, what are the long term opportunities for small and medium enterprises, how should we think in terms of the support offered?

Similarly, in 2008 the government stepped in to assist the economy by propping up the financial institutions with a series of loans and initiatives designed to return confidence to the global financial system. Propping up the global financial system in this way indirectly left many small business owners and self-employed people having to reinvent themselves. Working capital and long term commitments were assessed under the new geopolitical frameworks creating difficulty for growth in the small and medium enterprises. 

Much has been learned since that time, and much has changed – these frameworks have evolved to keep the global economy stable.  Balance sheets are now more and more blended with various types of finance, in part due to deregulation and structural innovation. 

This innovation has created more and more competition from internet-based banking, new systems of money transfer, new financial products, crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending, and financial instruments that convert from debt to equity according to the stresses created by economic uncertainty. 

For the present, leaders of organizations that are currently looking at timelines associated with current cash flows have to take advantage of the loans and advances from the Government, whether to support payroll of employees, deferment of taxes or rescue funds as working capital. 

If we are to consider an economy that will have to deal with more and more uncertainty and less and less insurable risk from issues arising from climate change and population growth, it’s the perfect time for this package of support to have new flexibility allowing SMEs to build quickly and be part of an integrated solution. 

In doing so, allowing the package of government loans and support to be the beginning of new financial instruments that change according to the economic uncertainty that small and medium-sized enterprises can build into a long-term financial buffer – strengthening their future and the global economy from the ground up.
