But do let us know if you find a legit workplace without any coffee presence – we can’t. For fun look at the caffeine fuelled 2. Valve, and its approach to decaf in their new employee handbook: Since there is no definitive study with statistical significance to show the correlation between coffee consumption and workplace output, we chatted with the team at Strong Vend to explore the relationship.
To conduct this research, Strong Vend called on the help of Cyber- Duck, a fast- paced coffee guzzling digital agency to take part in the subjective research. The data for the experiment was obtained through daily surveys, over a two week period – a week with and a week without drinking coffee. The results below show how participants rated their perceived productivity, anxiety, concentration, mood, motivation and performance on a scale of 1 to 5. Strong Vend reached the conclusion that drinking coffee helped to boost productivity and motivation of the Cyber- Duck workforce by a whopping 1.
The origins of wine predate written records, and modern archaeology is still uncertain about the details of the first cultivation of wild grapevines. Let's make something clear from the get go: individuals and companies have every right to express their opinions, political and otherwise, in whatever form they.
See the infographic below that charts how the consumption of coffee changed the working week. According to legend, Kaldi the goatherd noticed his goats were displaying unusually hyper- active behaviour and identified the cause to be consumption of red berries. Upon this realisation, Kaldi reported his discovery to a local monastery where the beans from the red berries were crushed down to form the basis of a drink – Coffee was born!
On this basis, coffee has been used as a stimulant drink dating back to 8. AD. However, nowadays rather than being consumed to keep monks alert through evenings of prayer, coffee is a popular stimulant drunk in the workplace and many offices supply coffee to employees to enhance their productivity.
Strong Vend conducted the investigation to assess the benefits of having a coffee machine in the workplace by determining to what extent drinking coffee boosts productivity and is therefore a valid investment for office managers. The research looked to assess whether coffee acts as a stimulant by monitoring the coffee consumption of participants working in a digital agency.
In the second week, whilst participants were permitted to drink coffee, they were required to disclose how many cups of coffee they had drunk, as this data would be compared to their usual dosage. In addition to the survey, participants were asked whether their habits had changed, and any observations were documented in the final report. Strong Vend took measures to ensure no participants consumed coffee around the office. Users were allowed to consume other substitute stimulants so that any changes to the habits and productivity could be documented.
Results. The results of all participants over the two week testing period can be found in the infographic we created above. These results were obtained from participants rating their workday according to these factors on a 1 to 5 scale (with 5 being the maximum available).

Simple, just three ingredients (four, if you count salt), and you can make it as citrusy as you like.
Noteworthy observations that were made over the testing period include an increase in tea consumption around the office, consumption of energy drinks to compensate for the lack of coffee and a participant dropping out for fear he would not be able to complete his workload without coffee. Conclusions. The results demonstrate that drinking coffee does affect the work rate and that regular consumption of coffee increases the motivation, mood and overall productivity in the office. The internal research further supports this as it was noted that an increasing number of participants were drinking tea or energy drinks as substitutes for their coffee, to obtain a dose of caffeine. This implies that coffee drinking employees depend on beverage and its substitutes to maintain productivity. Further Work. This research has the potential to be extended by investigating the effects of caffeine on participants in a more scientific, rather than subjective approach. Participants could be assessed by more quantitative measures of the effects of caffeine such as reaction times, heart rate, dilatation of pupils, levels of fatigue, focus and ability to process information and correlation with insomnia.
The limitations of the research carried out by Cyber- Duck lay in having to work around the digital agency operating normal working weeks.
How Coopers created their own PR disaster. Let's make something clear from the get go: individuals and companies have every right to express their opinions, political and otherwise, in whatever form they choose. On a related point: hoo boy, it's been a bad couple of days for venerable South Australian brewer Coopers.

The ASX 2. 00 almost broke the 6. With uncertain outcomes evolving from the French election, investors are keeping an eye on protectionist governments potentially stifling trade. And thus they celebrated their relationship with the Bible Society by putting out a commemorative beer celebrating 2. Society. And the way the Bible Society put it, it was an actual partnership.

Accompanying this little statement was a video of a conversation between MPs Tim Wilson and Andrew Hastie in which they outlined their positions on marriage equality (Wilson is pro, Hastie is anti), and then agreed that other people are doing the marriage equality debate wrong and that Q& A is terrible, while drinking Coopers Light in Parliament House because presumably this is good use of their publicly supported time. And then all hell broke loose. There was a massive social media backlash about Coopers' involvement in sponsoring a religious organisation to make an explicitly political point, including slews of one star reviews on Coopers' Facebook page amid promises from lifelong Coopers drinkers that this was the final time they'd let a Pale Ale pass their lips. The Old Bar in Melbourne announced they'd stop stocking the beer. And Coopers realised very quickly that they'd made a terrible mistake. Photo: David Mariuz. Dating And Cerebral Palsy.
That Coopers are frantically backpedalling can be seen in the two different press releases regarding the deal. As the first rumblings of disquiet began Coopers issued a statement in which they didn't indicate that there was any problem with the video, much less give any suggestion that they weren't involved with sponsoring it. As a mature community it's a debate we need to have but in a good spirited and good natured way. As arrays go, it's not exactly vast - and certainly doesn't indicate that the 2. Bible Society is the sort of thing they regularly commemorate.
Needless to say, this clarification didn't clarify things and was therefore followed on Monday by another press release which was rather less ambiguous: they just made the cans and everything else is all the Bible Society's fault. Our family brewery is made up of individuals from a number of different backgrounds, all of whom hold differing views on politics and religion, which we think is reflective of the wider community. We would like all Coopers fans to know that we support and embrace all of our beer drinking community.
It was a publicity stunt for the Bible Society and an ad for Coopers. That Tim Wilson, conservative Liberal Party backbencher for Goldstein, can find common ground with Andrew Hastie, conservative Liberal backbencher for Canning, isn't exactly a heartwarming triumph of genteel good manners, clear argument and basic respect (not least because Hastie's argument, that marriage somehow pre- dates the existence of politics, is straight- up incorrect). It's two ambitious politicians from the political party that Coopers supports taking advantage of some free airtime. And since an estimated 7. Australians support marriage equality, there's zero reason to hold off on legislating it beyond that the current government have made it a point of pride not to - which, again, makes a .
And it should be made clear that Coopers have a rich history of donating millions of dollars to various non- profits, which includes a lot of medical research groups (as well as church- based charities). Their money has done a lot of good, and other organisations could stand to follow their example.
However, if Coopers chose to sponsor a political act by a religious organisation then they force their customers to make a choice. They can tacitly support their position by continuing to drink their product, or they can take Coopers at their word, respect their clear position on an issue that affects LGBTIQ Australians, and choose to drink something else from here on in. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, even for breweries.
