[quote=Anonymous]One office I worked in had pretty good morale.  One of the things that helped was that there was a lounge area at the end of the building.  Every day they hosted "tea" somewhere around 3:30-4:00.  Someone would go and put a pot of water on to boil around 3:00 and whenever it was ready, the pot would go out on the table.  Anyone who needed to take a break could stop by.  A few people showed up every day, but some people just stopped in once a week or so.  Great to chill and be able to take a break.  There was a cup and you were expected to either bring something to share or drop spare change in the cup.  The spare change went to buy tea bags and occasionally buy snacks/cookies that could be brought out if no one brought anything.  It went on for years and people came and went.  The talk ranged from light work talk to what people were doing for the weekend, to events coming up that people were attending, etc.  Getting that break in the middle/end of the afternoon was pretty helpful to a bunch of people.

If you want to start something like this, just find a couple of friends to help kickstart it, bring in some dollar store cookies and some tea bags and verbally invite people to join when they want.[/quote]
