Coffee machines could boost employee engagement 

A cup of coffee can make people feel more engaged with the tasks they are performing, according to an expert.

Businesses could help staff become more productive at work by installing a coffee machine on their premises.

According to Professor Gary Dunbar, a psychology expert at Central Michigan University, a cup of coffee can offer a number of benefits, Central Michigan Life reports.

For instance, he said it can help people "become more engaged to what they're doing".

As a result, investing in a coffee machine for the workplace can ensure employees are more focused each day.


Professor Dunbar added that the hot drink can also make people more vigilant when they are driving, stimulate a person's nervous system and potentially help to combat depression.

This could be an important consideration in light of recent findings from Simplyhealth and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.

Research by the two groups found that stress has become the main cause of long-term sickness absence in the UK, partly because of ongoing economic issues.
