Importance of the Community Snack Table

One of the many perks of being an Atomic Object employee is the community snack table. AO keeps a variety of snacks (as well as coffee, of course) stocked and on-hand at all times. This not only benefits Atomic Object employees, it also benefits AO’s clients for a number of reasons.

The table provides employees with a snack break and a chance to clear the mind, but it also is a community area where employees can gather and converse. While typical talk of the weekend or politics can be heard at times, employees have just as often found themselves engaged in spontaneous problem-solving sessions.

Employees engaged with other projects can provide valuable insight and advice based on past experience that can ultimately lead to a solution for the issue at hand. Conversation around the snack table provides a chance to gather input and advice from other employees who may have had prior experience with similar projects or situations. This translates to more value for the client and increased productivity and efficiency for AO.

The snack table also builds community among AO employees. The kitchen surrounding the table is set up much like a typical home kitchen, creating an inviting and warm atmosphere for employees and visitors. Employees bond over conversation and snacks, which leads to a tighter relationships and a stronger workplace camaraderie. The table benefits Atomic Object, its employees and their clients in substantial ways, making the snack table an integral part of Atomic Object’s vibrant culture.
