#2 DESK ESSENTIAL PACKS

If your employees need to constantly get up from their desk to go and find sticky notes, a stapler, or a pen, that will hurt their productivity. Even a small distraction can substantially decrease productivity.

Sitting behind the computer the whole day can make your employees feel tired.

The best way to prevent that is to use some sort of exercise.

Drinking an insufficient amount of water is bad for your skin, sleep, health and basically everything. An easy way to fix that is to give your employees water bottles. This product can keep them on their desk as a reminder to drink enough water throughout the day.

You can also provide them with a canister/reusable coffee cup which is great for coffee drinkers.

For instance, if you are a marketer developing a new strategy or sales funnel, it’s almost a never-ending job.
