BRITA Supports Hydration & Productivity

When we think of wellbeing, many of us picture relaxing in a mineral spa, strolling barefoot along a beach, or meditating under a giant tree. But have you ever considered that your workplace could also play a key role in your wellbeing? Increasingly, the idea that employers are responsible for the mental health of their employees is gaining traction.

As millennials are set to dominate the workforce by 2025, this socially conscious generation is leading the charge in demanding a workplace that nurtures and inspires them to be productive and successful. And they’re not alone—research shows that a healthy workplace culture significantly boosts productivity, collaboration, efficiency, employee retention, and satisfaction, all while reducing stress (1). Considering that most people spend around a third of their life at work, investing in workplace wellbeing makes perfect sense.

Hydration is also a key element of workplace wellbeing. Studies show that even a small 2% drop in hydration levels can lead to headaches, poor concentration, and irritability. To address this, modern offices are replacing traditional water coolers with hydration hubs, providing access to filtered water. BRITA’s Top Pro and Extra C-Tap filtration systems, for example, offer chilled, sparkling, and even hot water on demand, fostering both hydration and social interaction. This ‘water cooler effect’ has been shown to boost productivity by 10 to 15 percent, as impromptu conversations often lead to creative ideas and solutions (2).

Ultimately, the simplest and most affordable ways to promote wellbeing in the office are the most effective. Clean air, natural light, and easy access to filtered water should be top priorities for employers looking to create a thriving, productive work environment.
