A fika break is where you collectively take a break together to have a warm drink and a pastry. It helps foster wellbeing and reduces staff burnout.

So why not try adding fika breaks to your day.

Well done on Idea of the Week Marcus! When I was overseas I met our developer in Bruges. He lives in Sweden and told me about their wonderful work life there. They have these breaks, morning, lunchtime and afternoon!
