Putting the BREAK into Break Room

Staff chatting in the break room

The Garlands latest capital improvement project is a perk that Garlands team members are definitely chatting about! “The new ‘Lettuce Chat’ employee break room offers a comfortable and well-equipped area for employees to relax, interact with colleagues, chill, and recharge,” says Dawn L. Kempf, chief operating officer. Offering a comfortable and inviting residential setting, complete with television, Wi-Fi charging stations, upgraded appliances, a relaxing massage chair, and healthy snacks—like salads, fresh cut fruits and vegetables, grab-and-go granola bars, and a healthy soup-of-the-day— Lettuce Chat is truly worth, well, chatting about!

“More than ‘nice-to-have’ extras, thoughtful perks like Lettuce Chat complement a supportive workplace culture and enhance one’s daily experience. They let employees know that they are appreciated.” ~Linda Lankford, director of human resources

 


 

“And, when employees know they are valued and supported, it boosts job satisfaction, helps create an enthusiastic work environment, and instills a stronger sense of loyalty to the company and the people we are privileged to serve,” says Kempf. And that’s The Garlands difference that people are really, well, chatting about!
