let's Meet
Did you know?
Sharing food or drinks with your co-workers
can help build camaraderie, foster deeper work relationships
and boost productivity.
Additionally, those who lunch with co-workers may earn a
much-needed break, establish office friendships and
score a chance to do some casual, low-level networking.
"From an evolutionary anthropology perspective, eating together has a long, primal tradition as a kind of social glue and it continues in today’s workplaces."
Kevin Kniffin, Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University.
Eating at your desk, on the other hand, means that you will just
get a lot of food stuck in your keyboard. So, when lunch or
happy hour rolls around, set up a time with someone at esrp!
