The Water Cooler Effect
February 11th, 2009
An interesting theory that a number of companies believe in is the idea that employees come up with their best ideas for work whilst they are grouped together informally. The idea is that employees do not feel under pressure to come up with suggestions and therefore think more fluently and naturally. This has sometimes been dubbed as the Water Cooler effect, as it reflects the spontaneous conversations that would develop from people bumping into each other at the water cooler. Allowing employees to cultivate their ideas in a natural setting can also lead them to feel more valued if their suggested ideas are taken on board.
