After cutting employee perks and laying off 15,000 workers, Intel is reintroducing free coffee and tea to boost staff morale. Earlier this year, the company implemented significant cost-cutting measures, including workforce reductions and slashing employee benefits, following a decline in its valuation.
In August, Intel announced plans to cut 15,000 jobs through layoffs and voluntary separation agreements. At the same time, it informed employees about reductions in benefits, such as reimbursements for internet, phone, and travel expenses.
Now, three months later, the chipmaker has decided to bring back free beverages in the workplace as a morale-boosting effort. In an internal message accessed by The Oregonian, Intel acknowledged the importance of small comforts for employees. "Although Intel still faces cost challenges, we understand that small comforts play a significant role in our daily routines. We know this is a small step, but we hope it is a meaningful one in supporting our workplace culture," the message stated.
