The Quest for a Cooler Workplace
<p><strong>Oakland, Calif. — April 25 </strong><br />Overworked and under stress? Many of us spend more than half our waking hours at work, and too many of us have the same complaint: Working just isn’t fun. </p><p>Yet, employee productivity is known to increase in work environments that value camaraderie, and where fun activities are liberally used to relieve stress and build loyalty. So what’s an employee to do? </p><p>Dreyer’s/Edy’s says: Make your own fun!<br /><br />Dreyer’s/Edy’s has launched the Dibs Quest for a Cooler Workplace contest to get people to share their ideas about how they are making their workplaces cooler. </p><p>The Dibs Quest for a Cooler Workplace challenges employees and employers to step up and make a positive difference where they work.<br /><br />The reward? Three hundred and fifty lucky winners will sweeten up and cool down their office, job site or work location with a free fully stocked (and restocked) freezer of Dibs snacks for an entire month. </p><p>These Dibs freezers will be delivered right to their work locations. <br /><br />A recent study revealed that when asked about ways to raise morale in the workplace, 30 percent of younger employed adults (ages 18-34) say having free ice cream would help raise morale at the workplace a great deal or a lot. </p><p>In fact, about one in three employed women (34 percent) think a snack break would help them be more productive at work.<br /><br />The Dibs Quest for a Cooler Workplace campaign will run April 24 to Aug. 5.</p>
