Perks like free food at work places not only aid staff welfare but also help build community and ignite creativity as employees sit in groups and engage in informal chit chat. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, in an interview on "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations”, highlighted benefits of interacting with employees in an informal set-up.
One of Google’s unique perks include free meals for all and Pichai credits it for fostering creativity and community. "It sparks creativity and builds community," he explained, adding that many innovative ideas were born from casual conversations in the company’s cafés.
