Water coolers are now more popular than coffee machines
Just a few years ago the first stop for many employees upon arriving at work was to stop at the office coffee machine, but recently another fixture has taken the coffee machine’s spot – the office water cooler. Many offices now place water coolers in employee areas because of the rising public awareness of the health benefits of drinking water.
Studies have even shown that drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning can help someone feel better than drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. Doctors have long suggested that adults should drink six to eight glasses of water per day, and by placing water coolers in their offices employers are helping the health of their employees.
