The Kitchen Area

It is vital for your employee’s to access water throughout the working day, making the kitchen area is a prime spot to place your water cooler. This will also encourage your staff to grab a glass of water when they are making lunch or fetching a snack from the fridge.

Not in direct sunlight

For obvious reasons it is not advised to place your water cooler in direct sunlight as this allows the water to heat up. It is important to keep bottles that aren’t being used away from the sunlight as well. Sunlight can alter the taste of water but can also cause it to go green.

In a communal area

Do you have a designated area where your employees can relax and take a five minute break? If yes then this would be the ideal place to have your water cooler. It has been proven that employees who take regular breaks from their desk are move productive and have a better experience at work.
