Picture the scene, you’ve been working hard all morning, and it’s time for a quick coffee break. As you’ve poured the water from the kettle into your mug and opened the fridge, there it is: an empty milk bottle. Which means someone’s going to have to make a last minute dash to the shops. But, have you ever considered setting up milk delivery to your office?
Hanover Dairies doesn’t just deliver to the doorstep of your home, but to your workplace too. And while you might not realise it, setting up office milk deliveries offers a lot of benefits to keeping your workplaces focussed on what’s important.
Tea & Coffee Breaks
As a nation, the British are famed for our tea consumption, but did you know: on an average working day in the UK, it’s estimated that 98 million cups of coffee are consumed, with individuals averaging 2 or 3 cups on their own. Offices up and down the country just like yours run on coffees and teas, and everyone has their own way of taking their hot drink of choice.
Scheduling a regular milk delivery ensures every member of your team is fuelled with their favourite hot drink and they’re never disappointed there’s no milk in the fridge
Cereal Milk
It’s not just tea and coffee that milk is beneficial for in offices. Many who get into the office early in the morning make an effort to not skip breakfast, and what better way to start the day than a filling bowl of cereal? Now we’re not judging (obviously), but if you’re eating cereal, 99.9% of the time, you’re going to need milk.
When they pour themselves a bowl, there’s always the risk of having to pour it straight back into the box. Regular office milk deliveries ensure that there’ll always be some in the fridge to keep the morning hunger at bay.
Reduces Errands Runs
When the milk runs out, the need for a cup of tea or coffee doesn’t, which means that someone has to draw the short straw and make the journey to the nearest shop to restock or an expensive coffee shop run. Not only is this taking time out of someone’s work day and potentially costly, but it also impacts others as they’re now waiting for them to get back to make their favourite cuppa.
Office milk delivery cuts this problem out completely. Knowing that the right amount of milk for your workforce has been delivered adds a peace of mind knowing that not only are they catered for, but that it will help productivity as a result.
Improves Workplace Culture
Throughout your office, outside of meeting rooms, there are few places that your workforce meets as regularly as in breakrooms and kitchens for tea and coffee. These are the times they get to connect both as colleagues and as individuals, sharing a few words about the workday and life outside of the office walls.
It also shows your workforce that their needs are a top consideration for the senior leadership team, inspiring more productivity and commitment to the culture.
Commitment to Green Initiatives
Many workplaces have green or eco-conscious initiatives to ensure the company is aware of its carbon footprint and doing all it can to mitigate its impact. One area that it’s important to be aware of is the use of recyclable materials used on a day-to-day basis, such as milk cartons.
Hanover Dairies office milk delivery arrives in glass bottles that are collected, cleaned, and reused. Not only is this much better for the environment as it prevents landfill waste, but it keeps your company green while also receiving an everyday essential right to your office doorstep.
Alternatives, Juices, and Flavoured Milks
According to research, around one in three households buy plant-based milk alternatives, meaning that there’s likely to be a number of your workforce that also drink dairy-free milks. If you’re looking to ensure that your workforce is appropriately catered for, Hanover Dairies offers a range of dairy-free options that can be added to your order.
Similarly, not everyone is a tea and coffee drinker at all, but that doesn’t mean you can’t ensure they’re taking regular breaks and looking after both themselves and their connection with the rest of their team. We also have a range of alternative options that can be added to your office milk delivery including delicious juices and the nostalgic tastes of flavoured milks.
