6 trends shaping the employee experience


Hybrid working has become the norm.

While employees prefer remote working due to commute time and cost concerns, it presents brand new challenges for businesses, which are under greater pressure to ensure their workers are engaged and excited to be back in the office.

However, hybrid working also provides a real opportunity for organisations. Responsive and adaptable catering services, built with the hybrid worker in mind, enable experiences that delight and inspire, while making employees feel valued.

This guide explores the six trends shaping how food is used in the office, and the difference it can make to the employee experience.
