You meet them, and work on various projects with them, every single day — your managers, supervisors, team members, and office staff. You’ve worked hard to build your company from the ground up, and now you can say that you’ve been able to scale up and achieve a level of success that you could only dream of some years before — and you know that your choice of skilled and talented people to make up your teams has contributed much to the achievement of your business goals for the longest time.

As a business owner, it’s only fitting that you demonstrate your appreciation of your staff’s fruitful efforts every now and then. And it doesn’t have to be something extravagant or over the top — yes, there are plenty of employee incentives that you can award to your top performers, but if your aim is to celebrate everyone’s positive input, a simple yet thoughtfully organised event can already speak volumes about how much you value your team.

So how do you go about this? For starters, you can throw a topnotch office lunch featuring excellent gourmet fare, prepared by one of the top catering companies in UAE, such as 1762.

Breaking bread, building relationships

Taking a well-deserved break and sharing a delicious meal can do much to cultivate your relationship with your team. You can sit back, unwind, spend time catching up and making conversation with your staff, and simply savour a little quality time over good food and drinks.

Needless to say, the quality of the food you provide can help set the positive vibe you wish to establish throughout this special office lunch break. Tired fast food and unhealthy meal picks are simply unacceptable — you want to treat your team to fresh, healthful and delicious deli fare that they will truly enjoy.

Thankfully, 1762 offers exactly what you need for your business lunch. Your team can dig into a mouthwatering selection of gourmet sandwiches and wraps made of filling meats (from red meats to seafood), crisp vegetables, and homemade dressings and sauces (vegetarian choices are also available, so everyone in your staff will have something delectable to tuck into). Salads and finger foods are always popular, and you can choose from the caterer’s range of options and encourage your team to help themselves to food that they haven’t tried before. And to cap off the wonderful meal, you can all indulge in something sweet — maybe some brownies or a slice of cake, and a cool glass of homemade iced tea.

Making such a lunch arrangement won’t involve any hassle on your part. Catering companies will help plan your menu and send someone to set up the delicious lunch spread at your location — picture an inviting deli display of sandwiches and wraps on wooden boards, with labels for each item. Of course, you’ll also have enough disposable plates, cutlery and napkins for everyone to be able to dine comfortably.

Your employees will always appreciate your efforts to spend a little quality time with them, to check on things and engage in conversation. And these moments are always made extra special when there’s delicious, healthy food to share. So surprise your team with an impromptu catered lunch today, and celebrate a job well done.
