Reasons Your Workplace Needs an Office Water Dispenser.

Summer is here, bringing sunny days and the perfect reminder to stay hydrated! It can be easy to forget the effects that dehydration can have on us, especially when we’re so focused on end-of-year deadlines. You can read one of our previous blogs where we have outlined how drinking water can benefit your workplace (5 reasons why filtered water will benefit your workplace). You may however think your workplace is functioning fine, we hope to open your eyes to things you may not have previously picked up on.

Productivity and Energy Levels are Low

As mentioned in the previous blog, dehydration has been scientifically proven to impact our brain and body function. In turn, this causes a hit to your productivity. Symptoms like headaches, tiredness, and dry skin can all be overlooked as your typical summer symptoms. We tend to treat these symptoms with short-term relief, such as headache pills or a quick lunch break nap but in fact, we’re not paying attention to the lack of water we’re consuming. To counteract this, we drink water in large amounts, all at once but our bodies can only absorb so much water at once. This can overload our system and not only make us uncomfortable but may make us excrete the excess water. That’s why it’s important to drink water at intervals throughout the day. Keeping a water dispenser within easy reach turns to staying hydrated into a simple, effortless habit rather than a chore.

You’re looking to reduce your environmental impact.

We all know the detrimental impact that plastic bottles have on the environment, and that’s why opting for a water dispenser is a great way to start contributing positively to the environment. Switching to a filtered water dispenser eliminates and decreases the use of single-use plastics in the workplace. Our Just Paper Cups sit on the side of the water cooler and are popular among workplaces. We have ensured that they are not just biodegradable, but certified plastic-free, 100% home compostable and food-safe. Not long ago we adopted the Aqueous Lamination technology, an eco-friendly packaging that still provides a waterproof barrier without compromising on environmental responsibility. At Just Water, we’re taking steps to ensure that our service delivers not only quality but consciously, we’re constantly thinking of ways we can reduce our environmental impact. 

Complaints About Water Quality

Have you heard any comments or grumbles about the taste or temperature of the water in your office? The quality of water is a common barrier in some areas of New Zealand. In some cases, it could be environmental impacts that are affecting the water supply and are essentially out of your control. Having a water dispenser means consistent, chilled filtered water whenever you need it. In summer this is particularly beneficial, as cool water can help keep you alert and refreshed in the workplace. Water dispensers are a reliable way to get great-tasting, fresh, chilled water all year round.

Employees are relying on bottled water.

Have you noticed the recycle bin overflowing? This could be a sign that your employees rely heavily on single-use plastic bottles to stay hydrated. As we previously mentioned, this is one of the worst things you can do to the environment. Not only after they horrible for the environment, but they can also have adverse effects on our health. Microplastics, these small harmful things have been researched to cause oxidative damage, inflammation and other disturbances in the body.
