Coventry TechnoCentre launch new ëholidayí menu to motivate employees this summer

With the Met Office predicting above average temperatures this summer, employees who get left behind in this yearís whirl of summer vacations may be feeling as hot as their holidaying co-workers. Couple this stifling heat with an increased workload because of absent colleagues and itís no wonder that people experience fatigue and de-motivation at work during summer. In response, Coventry TechnoCentre is launching a new initiative to help businesses motivate their staff this season. The conference centreís new summer menu, featuring holiday favourites like paella, gazpacho and salmon nicoise is designed to increase morale by bringing delegates together and offering them a break from summer stresses.

Julie Coles, Conference and Events Manager at the TechnoCentre, said that although summer is traditionally seen as a bad time for a meeting, conference, team-building or training session it might be just what the non-vacationing cohort need to spur them on. ìResearch shows that as temperatures rise, work slows down - we want to help local businesses improve their productivity,î she said. ìGetting out of the office can give employees a break from the typical summer pressures and the new menu is meant to show them they can have a taste of holidays even if theyíre not going away.î

The Godiva award-winning TechnoCentre has been commended for its innovative menus in the past - all are designed to help keep delegatesí brains active. ìThis summerís menu is an extension of this ñ we not only want to help delegates stay alert and productive but also help keep them positive and enthusiastic,î said Ms Coles.

The TechnoCentreís new summer menu is available now and the three-course lunch is part of the day delegate package, which is being offered at 22.50 - a discount of 40% from the normal rate to encourage businesses to take part.
