Water Station: Making Hydration Visible

A small building block with full reach: the water station truly reaches everyone in BGM – with no participation barrier, as a visible signal in the nutrition action area.

Why even mild dehydration costs you during the workday Concentration lapses, headaches, afternoon fatigue – much of this is linked to insufficient fluid intake, long before real thirst is felt. The tricky part: people working with focus forget the glass sitting right next to them. Visibility beats every good intention here. When water is placed in a walkway instead of hidden in the kitchen, people reach for it automatically.

Placement determines impact A water station in the right spot – in the hallway, at a meeting point, next to the printer – becomes a casual ritual. Carafes and glasses are more inviting than a dispenser. A few slices of lemon or some mint turn an obligation into a small treat. It's not about staging an effect, but about making the healthy choice the easiest one.

The smallest lever with the greatest reach Hardly any measure reliably reaches truly everyone in the company. It requires no sign-up, no participation, no explanation – it simply stands there and works. As an entry point into the topic of nutrition, it's ideal because it lectures no one while still sending a clear signal: health is being looked after here.
