Aztech Team Lunch with Taco Shack

Who doesn't love a good munch day at work? It's the perfect way to break a monotonous workday and bond with colleagues over some delicious food.

At AZTech IT, we take our munch days and team lunch seriously and always want to ensure that our team gets the best treats.

This July, we decided to partner with Taco Shack. The tacos and burritos were the highlight of our day, and our team members enjoyed the mouth watering delights on this team lunch.

Team Lunch Culture at AZTech

At AZTech, we understand the importance of team building and morale boosting activities in the workplace.

That's why we organise a monthly team lunch at our headquarter, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, UK fondly called the "Monthly Munch".

This is a unique opportunity for our team members to bond over delicious food and casual conversations. It's also a time for us to recognise and appreciate the hard work of our colleagues.

We believe that a happy team is a productive team and the Monthly Munch is just one way we achieve that.

We strive to create a positive work environment and foster relationships among our team members, and the Monthly Munch is just one example of that.

How Team Lunch Can Help Your Business?

1. Increases camaraderie

When you eat with someone, you're sharing more than just food – you're sharing an experience. This experience can strengthen bonds and create a more comfortable environment for team members.

Stronger connections with co-workers translate to a better work culture where people are more likely to help each other out and share new ideas.

2. Facilitates communication

When you're enjoying a meal together, you're less likely to talk about work and more likely to open up about your personal life.

These conversations can lead to insights and inspiration that might not have come up in a traditional office setting. Besides, people tend to be more relaxed and open when their stomachs are satisfied.

3. Boosts productivity

When employees feel comfortable with each other, they're more likely to approach each other for help when needed, rather than stewing at their desk.

Additionally, taking a break and getting out of the office for lunch can rejuvenate creativity and keep employees from feeling burnt out.

4. Encourages healthy eating habits

Studies have shown that employees who eat at their desks are more likely to make poor dietary choices and eat more overall.

Encouraging team lunch can help combat this trend by providing healthier options and encouraging employees to take a break from work.

5. Shows appreciation

Providing team lunch is a low-cost way to show your team that you appreciate their hard work.

It's often the little things that make employees feel valued, and a free meal is a simple way to express that.

Conclusion

Team lunch may seem like a small gesture, but it can have a big impact on your business.

From creating stronger bonds between team members to boosting productivity and inspiring new ideas, it's a strategy worth implementing.

If you're not sure where to start, try organising a potluck or scheduling a monthly team lunch at a nearby restaurant. Your team, and your bottom line, will thank you. Bon appétit!
