There are companies or employers that offer free food to their employees. Free meal or free snacks.

At my work, they offer free snacks to employees. We have two offices that we rent in a co-working space. The two offices have one fridge each to keep the drinks and milk cold. We also have cookies, chips, instant noodles, chocolates, mixed nuts, cereals and others. We have a monthly budget for it.

But I wonder what benefits can the company get from it?

I think your company has a good business turnover, it is gaining and it's blessed too because of being kind to employees.

I think the company can actually benefit by offering free food to the staff. That's because the staff will have more time to work

By doing so, the staffs can fully focus on their work. They do not have to worry about what to eat and all that.

I must say no. Companies will not gain anything when providing these foods to their employees.

It would be a big motivation if a company can give it's staff free food with no strings attached.

There is no free food here in the companies in the city. If there is, it will be inspiring

If employees have a choice they will prefer to work at a company offering free food, especially if they are migrants.

In my country it's very difficult to find such companies of late for that matter.

Companies can definitely benefit from this. This is because it would help staffs to be motivated and more focused in doing their work, thereby improving the sales of the company.

In my city, it's quite common for companies to offer free drinks and snacks to the staff. This is considered as a benefit. When the staff gets tired or stressed out, s(he) can take a short break at the company's pantry and have a drink and enjoy some snacks.

Offering free meals or snacks can save employees both time and money that they would usually spend on buying food outside of work. This can boost productivity since employees can concentrate better on their tasks without the distraction of planning meals or stepping out to get food.

You would have a high turnover for staff as you can lure good and hardworking staff with this act

Offering this benefit can make the workplace better and show that the company cares about its workers.

I know that food has the capacity to motivate workers and giving some food incentives as an organization can help the business.
