Yes, you're right. Budgets to take clients and vendors out to dinner is one thing, but perhaps I'm talking about time to create, to innovate, to come up with ideas.
Businesses often need creative spaces to develop new products or drive innovation. Other times (or maybe other areas of the business ) we focus on efficiency.
Walks, conversations, activities that often seem like we're "doing nothing" are often what sparks creativity and innovation.
Yeah I agree. Unfortunately, not a lot of companies provide that to their employees. I have seen some about Google, and a few employer posts here on Hive. Some even have guidelines like no lunch on workstations, to force employees to get up, maybe eat with coworkers, and have conversations with others.
