Say it with coffee You too can get in on the act.  You can create a blend or order a pre-existing blend at Blendly and send to a friend, member of family or someone you care about.  If you create your own blend, you could have it labelled with their name or a short message to help keep their spirits up.

Why coffee? There are huge benefits to drinking coffee, many of which will help us fight through this period of isolation, but perhaps the two most important are:-

It raises energy Levels and makes You Smarter. Most of us know that coffee contains caffeine – the most commonly consumed stimulant in the world!

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.
