Workplace culture remains the most important consideration for workers with 70% of respondents to a recent study saying it’s their top priority.

In the same research ‘feeling seen and valued’ was the second most important factor (cited by 65% of respondents).

Simply put, it’s never been more important to make employees feel looked after.

Well, you asked….

Research shows that creating a pleasant office environment with snacks has multiple benefits for employees and businesses. Here are some key advantages:

1. Increased Productivity

Studies show that providing snacks helps maintain energy levels and focus, reducing the productivity dips caused by hunger. A survey by Staples Business Advantage found that 57% of employees feel more valued and productive when their employer provides snacks.

2. Improved Employee Satisfaction & Retention

Employees who have access to free snacks report higher job satisfaction.Research from Peapod found that 67% of employees who have access to free food are “very” or “extremely” happy at work, compared to 56% without. A positive work environment with perks like snacks reduces turnover by helping companies retain talent.

3. Enhanced Collaboration & Team Bonding

Snack areas encourage informal interactions, leading to stronger relationships among colleagues.
Many top companies use snack stations as a way to facilitate networking and cross-team collaboration. The classic ‘water cooler’ thing.

4. Better Health & Well-being

Offering healthy snacks (like nuts) can improve employees’ nutrition, leading to better overall health and fewer sick days. Research from the British Journal of Health Psychology found that employees who eat healthier feel happier and more engaged at work.

5. Reduced Stress & Mood Boosting

Snacking can help regulate blood sugar levels, preventing irritability and stress. Snacks and nuts promote the release of serotonin, improving mood and reducing anxiety.

6. Competitive Advantage in Hiring

Offering snacks is a relatively low-cost perk that makes a company more attractive to potential employees. A study by Glassdoor found that workplace perks, including free snacks, play a significant role in job seekers’ decision-making.

There’s a really simple rough formula for this – 50% of your headcount equates to the volume of snacks you need on a monthly basis in kg. So if you have 20 employees then you want 10kg of snacks.

Here’s how we worked that formula…

Employees spend 10 average monthly days in the office (from this data)

A healthy daily consumption of sweets or nuts – obviously you don’t want to max out on sugar too much – is a smallish handful, say 50g.

So say you have 20 members of staff – they are in the office around half the time, equating to 200 man/woman days a month.

So in this example 200 workdays x 50g of snacks consumed daily = 10kg of snacks.

That said, this is not an exact science and an office with a steady stream of visitors will obviously get through more snacks and coffee.

Per Diem strives hard to help people everywhere save money – buying products wholesale is cheaper for us, so we happily pass those savings directly on to our customers.

We won’t guarantee that we will be cheaper than lower quality, processed ingredients sold in a superstore as they have more bargaining power than we do (bargaining power which is often used to unfairly dominate the supply chain) – but our prices are extremely competitive and constantly assessed.

During a period of rampant inflation in food prices, we have done everything we can – including reducing our margin – to keep prices fair and responsible.

Our products come from ethical suppliers who are as committed to the use of quality ingredients as they are to minimising waste and pollution.
 All our suppliers are UK based in order to minimise food miles. You can see a representative selection of suppliers here.

Per Diem deliveries are carbon neutral – either by bike, foot or electric car.

The goods are packed using assigned scoops and funnels for each product to avoid cross contamination. We use gloves and have regular hand washing intervals throughout the process.

Mainly plain biodegradable brown bags. For nuts and granola the bags have a film lining to maintain freshness, but these are 100% biodegradable too.
