The average person will spend about a third of their life at work. With all that time, you’ve certainly got a bit to spare for a fun, bonding activity like a food tour; it’s a delicious way to improve team morale and productivity. Here are a few reasons you and your employees should get hungry for a food tour. 

Why Book a Food Tour for Your Employees?

1. Boost Teamwork

According to one study, communal eating can increase social bonding, happiness, and your sense of belonging in a community. A day of eating together will make your employees a better team. Although they spend time communicating and problem-solving at work, doing this outside of the office will allow for calmer and more meaningful interactions. When your employees know each other better, they’ll look forward to going to work and may even improve the quality of their work to make a coworker’s job easier. 

2. Get to Know Them 

You may have tried icebreakers, but they might have been uninformative and awkward. To really get to know your employees, you’ll want a fun and relaxed environment like a food tour. With a tour guide informing you about local specialties and history, there’ll be plenty to talk about and less struggling to fill in the silence. A popular dish might start a conversation about your employees’ families or hobbies, and you’ll walk away understanding them better.

3. Break the Routine 

Almost 90% of North American employees believe that a lunch break helps them feel refreshed and energized for their work ahead. With this in mind, imagine what a day or half-day out of the office, eating local favorites, will do for office morale? It’s not only a nice break from the routine but also a reminder to them that you care about their well-being and know a break goes a long way. Happier employees will be more productive and spread the word about your positive work environment.
