a few things I do here to make "work" a little more enjoyable.... M-Th 10 hour days, so as long as we arent drop dead busy, 3 day weekends for the techs.
i buy the lab lunch, a lot. but not like pizza all the time, i have my smoker and a giant grill here. we smoke and grill a LOT, especially in the summer. ribs, wings, sausages, burgers, dogs, you name it we love it. and bonuses/work functions. last year i took the entire lab to Gatlinburg for a 3 day weekend, rented a nice cabin and we all went wine/distillery touring. had a freaking blast!
just because the dollar tag isnt huge, doesnt mean that the lab environment has to be garbage. we want to enjoy work. maybe especially since we dont think we are making what we should be making for constructing patient specific oral healthcare appliances.
You are offering employees a fantastic opportunity to become part of a lab "family" as labs used to be waaaay back in the 70's.
Don't forget there are some (like myself) who just want to do their job and get out.
A joke I always say when offered lunch is "Can I have the money instead?"
A bit brash but true. In my situation I need the cash more than lunch.
