The workers who eat together succeed together.
People who work for Silicon Valley tech companies get ridiculously nice perks—chief among them, their own gourmet cafeterias. Google, Apple, Facebook, and many others have eateries where coworkers share meals. Of course, this costs companies money, so a workplace cafeteria may not seem worth it if you’re not a tech giant with loads of money. But new research suggests that tech companies might actually be onto something big: a recent study from Cornell University found that having your employees eat together could be incredibly valuable—it may help them perform better as a team.
