In today’s nonstop workplace, sometimes the most productive move you can make is to take a break. Whether it’s five quiet minutes with a cup of coffee or a solo lunch in a café, intentional pauses can drive focus, creativity and momentum. At Sodexo, we design food experiences and spaces that help people recharge with purpose. Because when people feel good, they work better — and that’s how businesses thrive. Discover how mindful breaks can spark real performance, one thoughtful moment at a time.
