The significance of convenient access to a water dispenser in meeting rooms 

Access to clean, fresh drinking water during meetings is hugely beneficial. Providing water carafes and jugs is helpful but the water can soon run out or taste stale. Historically bottled water coolers have looked the part in boardrooms and offices, however people are becoming wise to the costs and logistics associated with having to stock and store multiple bottles of water. Providing a drinking water dispenser can offer several advantages over bottled water coolers, by contributing to the overall productivity and comfort of the participants in supplying them with clean, filtered drinking water.  

People are becoming wise to the costs and logistics associated with having to stock and store multiple bottles of water.

In this article, we’ll go through some of the reasons why incorporating a water dispenser within meeting rooms, enabling employees to conveniently access clean and filtered drinking water whenever necessary, is so vital. 

Staying hydrated  

Long meetings can be mentally and physically taxing. Providing easy access to filtered drinking water ensures that participants can stay hydrated throughout the session. Dehydration can lead to reduced concentration, fatigue, and decreased cognitive performance, which can slow down the decision-making and problem-solving processes. 

Improved focus and alertness  

Staying hydrated helps maintain cognitive function, which is essential for productive discussions and decision-making. Water can help participants stay alert and maintain their mental acuity during lengthy meetings.  

Staying hydrated maintains cognitive function, alertness and mental acuity.

Time efficiency  

Instead of participants having to leave the room to find water, having a water dispenser in the board room saves time.

This minimises interruptions and keeps the meeting on track.

Sustainability through water dispensers 

Encouraging the use of a water dispenser can promote environmental responsibility by reducing the need for single-use plastic water bottles, which can be harmful to the environment. Opting for a sustainable water solution demonstrates commitment to eco-friendly practices. 

Demonstrate quality through your water dispenser 

By incorporating a Borg & Overström water dispenser, the organisation not only emphasises its concern for the health and hydration of its employees but also aims to exemplify quality by choosing a premium brand that delivers superior filtered drinking water.

In summary, having a drinking water dispenser in a board room during long meetings is a simple yet effective way to ensure the well-being and productivity of participants. It promotes a comfortable and professional environment and enhances focus and participation. Companies often provide quality coffee making facilities, and providing quality filtered water is just as important. It’s a small investment that can lead to more successful and productive meetings.
