Show you care by installing one (or all) of these comforting, fun and collaborative devices at your place of business. They're sure to warm things up during winter's coldest days and beyond.
Geckoboard ($19 to $199 per month)
If you want your staff to work as a team, give 'em a real-time
company scoreboard. Track wins and losses and everything in
between with Geckoboard, a cloud-based digital
dashboard that serves as a companywide bulletin board,
displaying everything from business analytics to Twitter feeds
to project reports. Subscription pricing is based on the
number of portals (HDTVs, mobile devices or desktop PCs) using
the service at the same time.
Breville One-Touch Tea Maker ($250)
This sophisticated teakettle and brewing
system automates the process according to the type of tea
desired. Place tea bags or loose leaves into the steeping
chamber, fill the kettle with water and select from green,
black, white, herbal or oolong. Black teas come out strong,
greens taste smooth, herbals are bold. Everyone's happy.
Logitech UE Boombox ($249)
This Bluetooth-enabled wireless speaker
can pair with up to eight devices--a great way for everyone to
take a crack at controlling the office soundtrack. Want to
move the party to the break room? Go for it--the rechargeable
speaker's two 3-inch woofers and two half-inch
tweeters can pump out rich, deep sound for up to six
hours.
Starbucks Verismo Brewing System ($199)
The Verismo is programmed to deliver
Starbucks' signature espressos, lattes and brewed coffees. For
a single shot, insert an espresso pod, lower the lever and
press a button; the same works for a latte, but with a
milk pod first. Refills cost about $12 for 12 pods--a
price that could significantly cut the cost of your staff's
daily caffeine habit.
