A survey examines the impact food and other perks have on company morale, satisfaction and loyalty.
April 24/Chicago/PRNewswire -- Seamless Corporate Accounts, GrubHub Inc.'s leading online food-ordering and billing service for offices, released the results of its "Food in the Workplace" survey, a study that examines the impact food and other perks have on company morale, satisfaction and loyalty. The second annual survey uncovered that with nearly half (48%) of respondents exceeding a 40-hour workweek some or all of the time, companies have responded in kind by offering more food-based perks, up 11% from 2013.
"As the traditional eight-hour work day continues to extend, many companies are seizing the opportunity to demonstrate their appreciation by offering food-based perks," said Karen Miller, vice president of people at GrubHub Inc. and human resources and corporate culture expert for Seamless Corporate Accounts. "Employee dissatisfaction can come with a hefty price tag for companies -- providing perks, including food-based ones, can substantially improve productivity and employee satisfaction."
