It’s important to stay hydrated, both for health and productivity reasons. There are countless articles, books and research publications that state the effects of not drinking enough water can have on the body, as well as the workplace.
By ignoring thirst, employees may experience headaches, lethargy, and even kidney damage, all of which would lead to their distraction from tasks at work, or even having to take sick leave!

Additionally, the human brain is 80% water, so it’s obvious how staying hydrated can improve the day to day functions of the brain.
For example, a study conducted in the UK by Dr. Caroline Edmonds showed that participants who were given a glass of water to drink before an exam performed better than those who drank no water at all.

The exam assessed learning, verbal skills and visual acuity. The participants who were hydrated were proven to have higher mental reflexes, better reaction times and a feeling of ‘mental lift’.

Ideally, this should be how all employees feel throughout the day, to allow them to stay productive and focused on the tasks at hand.
This is especially so if your employees spend a significant percentage of their day staring at screens or performing complicated tasks that require a high level of attention and concentration.

Other benefits of drinking clean filtered water throughout the day include:

•        Reduced headaches.
•        Joint and muscle health.
•        Clearer skin.
•        A regulated temperature.
•        Digestion.
•        Weight loss.
•        Improved metabolism.
•        Better emotional outlook.

It’s also important to bear in mind that the recommended water intake is 7 – 8 glasses of water each day. If your workforce is spending 8+ hours at the office, they’ll need to be able to get some of this recommended amount during their time at work. With a water cooler, they’ll be able to take as much as they need, without having to leave the office to purchase a bottle.

If you’ve been convinced that keeping your employees hydrated could help to improve productivity around the office, consider installing a plumbed-in water cooler from EWT.
Your employees will be able to quench their thirst whenever they need to, without any concerns of spending money on bottled water or damaging the environment with plastic.

A water cooler also gives employees a chance to stretch their legs throughout the day, which can also be helpful for motivation and focus.

EWT Water Specialists can provide commercial coolers with a constant supply of chilled, filtered water on demand,  at half the cost of bottled water coolers so get in touch today by contacting us on 1850 39 28 37 or visit our website www.ewtwater.com for more details.
