While the pandemic brought home offices to the forefront, the communal workspace remains essential for the modern workforce. It’s evolving in a new, post-pandemic world, with innovation at the heart of the journey.

Just as we recognise the positive health impacts of air filtration, adaptable workstations, biophilia and natural light, hydration stands as a crucial pillar of well-being. Prioritising access to hygienic, high-quality water solutions in the built environment is essential. With the human brain composed of 75 percent water, staying hydrated supports focus, clarity and overall cognitive function—not to mention the social connections sparked by classic “water cooler moments.”

Studies reveal that more than 50 percent of office workers drink less than the recommended two litres of water daily.[i], with over a third reporting that inadequate hydration affects their productivity. In fact, 61 percent of facility managers believe water stations are vital to fostering productivity in the workplace.

Employee Satisfaction in the Workplace of the Future

By 2025, millennials will make up 50 percent of the workforce[ii], redefining workplace expectations and dynamics. Remember when “water cooler conversations” were the informal moments we shared around the office water station? These interactions weren’t just about hydration; they also fostered positive socialisation.

While technology has streamlined communication, it’s also reduced face-to-face interaction. Yet, 88 percent of millennials[iii] report that they thrive in collaborative environments. Gathering around a water station creates a perfect blend of benefits, supporting both hydration and meaningful social connection. In the workplace of the future, these communal spaces do more than quench thirst—they foster connection, promote well-being and create a sense of community.
