(KN) Providing good social facilities at work improves employee well being
(APP) For example, if the employees of a textile company are provided with good social services, it would mean that employees would get a chance to relax and reduce stress during breaks, which improves their overall mental and physical health.
(AN) This would mean that there would be a far less rate of absenteeism, leading to increased productivity and efficiency within the business, meaning more customers' demands would be satisfied, leading to an increased number of satisfied and loyal customers.
(AN+) Seeing how their work is leading to positive results, employees would become a lot more motivated, aiming to work harder and get recognized, gradually moving up Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
(KN) Providing good social facilities at work also encourages teamwork and builds better relationships.
(APP) For example, if the employees of the same textile business are provided with a place to interact informally such as a lounge or a cafeteria, it would help them to interact with fellow employees and build friendships.
(AN) When these friends are assigned a common group task later on, there would be a noticeable improvement in the teamwork. Furthermore, stronger social bonds lead to higher morale, which makes employees more committed to the organization.
(AN+) Becoming more committed to the organization would increase output and give a sense of belonging to the employees, leading to an overall happier and healthier work environment where people work together to carry out tasks rather than leg pulling or hatred out of jealousy.
