Employee satisfaction goes through the stomach!

"A company is only as good as its employees" goes the saying. That's why employers not only go out of their way to hire the best professionals, but almost more to keep them in line and happy. "Talent retention" is the name of the game. After all, when there is a high turnover rate in the workforce, valuable expertise is not only lost on a constant basis. Recruitment, trial periods and induction phases also cost a lot of time and money.

From McKinsey to Forbes, management consultants and the media are therefore advising strategies that increase the satisfaction, happiness and loyalty of the workforce to the company. And increasingly, in addition to hard factors such as salary, opportunities for advancement or further training, human values are also functioning on the list of "employee value propositions". Employees today expect employers to provide accommodating benefits that meet more upscale demands in terms of quality of life, work-life balance, corporate culture and comfort in the workplace.

One area where employers can differentiate themselves in the long term from the perspective of the workforce is catering. Those who are expected to perform at their best on the job have a right to delicious, high-quality food. The way to employee satisfaction is through the stomach.

The Smartfridge gustav, an autonomous food station from the SV Group, delivers just that - and more: The list of "Employee Value Propositions" extends beyond the purely culinary. This is how innovative companies can score points with their employees thanks to gustav:

• Culinary pleasure for more quality of life
  Two cafeteria meals, the same lunch catering, fast food as the only bright spot in the food desert? gustav puts an end to all that: His menu offers around 300 different dishes, freshly prepared by the SV Group itself.
• Well fed in any work model
  Flexible working hours, home office, part-time - contemporary working models are diverse and variable. This makes stationary catering at the workplace a logistical challenge. With intelligent, automatic stocking on the part of the SV Group and non-stop operation, gustav masters this effortlessly.
• Flexibility brings the work-life balance into balance
  gustav's flexible 24/7 operation allows employees to eat when and where they want - even during late shifts or stress. This increases productivity and efficiency and saves employees valuable time, which they can use more profitably in their free time and after work.
• Sustainable, diverse and social
  gustav's rich menu has vegan, vegetarian, and international options. In addition, propane refrigeration, recycled, sparsely used packaging and virtually zero food waste set standards in sustainability. Especially multicultural, international and environmentally conscious workforces appreciate this!
• Advantage price point
  The gustav catering service is rented, employees only pay for their individual consumption. In addition to the monthly rental fee, companies can also subsidize the meals. In this way, employees can enjoy gastronomic quality and variety that puts gustav ahead of its competitors and the retail trade. Only when it comes to price can the latter keep up - gustav is a good deal.

The bottom line is that a company that has its staff catered for by gustav saves resources and effort on the catering experience. Purchasing, preparation, stocking, maintenance and billing are all handled by gustav and SV Group. In return, employees enjoy tasty meals, flexibility, spontaneity and a higher quality of life at work. In this way, the Smartfridge makes a small but significant contribution to job satisfaction and loyalty with employers who care about the well-being of their teams.
