Office Coffee Mugs to Boost Employee Morale

One of the best feelings you can get from your marketing job is knowing that you’ve made employees happy to be at work. You can’t expect every employee in your office to love their job and get excited about going to work each day. Still, you can improve their experience by ensuring your strategies meets certain criteria contributing to high employee morale. Nothing beats offering them branded coffee mugs.

Here are five coffee mugs that can help boost employees' morale in a company:

Styles – Which one(s) are best for you?
If you’re thinking about purchasing bulk-branded coffee mugs, you have a few different styles to choose from. Of course, no one will judge if you just stick with whatever’s convenient, but that doesn’t mean you can’t maximise employee or client morale with a thoughtful and inexpensive purchase.

Each type of mug has pros and cons: classic mugs are both cost-effective and readily available; ceramic mugs allow for personalisation; stainless steel cups have portability on their side; novelty mugs offer fun but come at a greater cost. It depends on your needs, so ask yourself what makes employees or clients happy and go from there.

Material – Ceramic
Ceramic coffee mugs are a classic choice. Not only do they retain heat well and look great, but their sturdiness makes them easy to clean. Consider getting custom-made ceramic mugs for your business, or simply choose plain white ones with nothing more than your logo printed on them. But remember that you can’t toss these into a dishwasher—you’ll need to wash these by hand. Of course, no coffee mug is dishwasher safe anyway, but it’s still worth mentioning as an option if you ever need custom-made office coffee mugs in bulk.

Colour – What works best in your office?
The colour of your office supplies can play a big role in defining your brand and boosting employee morale. For example, adding colourful water bottles or even mugs with cheerful pictures can make your office more approachable and fun. Of course, you don’t have to go out and buy everything at once, but having a plan for a future refresh will help you manage costs and maintain flexibility so that you’re ready when inspiration strikes.

Size – Is bigger better?
Before purchasing coffee mugs for your office, consider whether bigger is better. Some people prefer a small cup of coffee because it allows them more freedom of movement. If you’re considering purchasing larger cups, remember that some employees may not want or be able to carry around a heavier mug all day; at least with smaller cups, there’s less risk of an accidental spill. Smaller mugs can also help you cut down on costs.

You must create a fun, friendly atmosphere for employees, especially regarding office supplies. Not only does it make a statement about how much you value them, but it also makes your company seem more professional and approachable. Whether you choose one of these options or come up with something else entirely is totally up to you. It’s all in good fun—as long as everyone has a smile.
