Do we really have a fruit problem? Yes, we do in Australia! Studies show that more than 90% of Australians are not eating enough fruit or vegetables, which you can read more about on this page, and that really is a huge number. While people are the ones responsible for changing this on an individual basis, because all change starts at home, that doesn’t mean that society as a whole doesn’t have the responsibility to, well, make things better, and play their part in improving the health of the nation.
As an individual, you cannot exactly do much, other than try to increase your own consumption and be a positive example to the people around you, hoping that they will do the same. Your impact doesn’t have to end at home and among your friends, though, especially not if you are a business owner who has employees working in offices on a daily basis. But, what does the business have to do with fruit, anyway?
Well, imagine an office in which there is always enough fruit for employees to snack on on their breaks or while focused on some important work. Instead of reaching for a bag of chips, they can reach for a fresh apple. Wouldn’t that mean that you’re playing your part in improving the health of the entire society? Well, yes, it definitely would!
The above idea has led to another amazing idea. Fruit boxes! And, they have become a huge hit in the workplace. I know that the responsibility for the society you’re living in is probably enough, or at least it should be enough, for you to take a closer look into the fruit box delivery idea, but here’s the thing. You probably want to know why these are such a hit in the workplace and what it is that they bring to the table, apart from keeping your employees healthy. So, let’s find out.
Here’s a study that could maybe get you motivated:
Why Fruit Boxes Are a Hit in the Workplace?
So, why are these such a hit in the workplace? Well, for one thing, they promote health and wellness, providing your employees with easy access to snacks that are nutritious. All of this could encourage healthier eating habits among Australians. But, that’s the part we’ve covered already.
In addition to that, if you decide to have boxes of fresh apples, pears, oranges, you name it, delivered to your offices, you are bound to notice a boost in morale. As an employer, you’ll show that you care about your employees and their health. As well as about them having a snack when they need one.
The boost in morale will, naturally, lead to a boost in productivity. Happy employees are productive employees! Plus, when they need a snack, they won’t have to leave the offices to get it, because you’ll have everything they need right there available for them. Not to mention that fruit is generally healthy for the brain, meaning it could help your employees focus better and come up with some creative solutions that your business may need at some point.
We shouldn’t fail to mention the effect of this on the environment itself. Basically, by having boxes of these products delivered to your offices, you will automatically reduce the amount of single-use plastic used to pack certain snacks. So, fruit boxes help you take better care of your business, of your employees, and of the planet as a whole. Clearly, there are no downsides to them, so it is no wonder that they have become a hit in the workplace.
How to Choose a Company to Deliver Them to You?
Having understood the benefits of these products, you are now probably wondering one thing. How can you actually find and choose a good company to deliver a fruit box to your office when you need it? Well, that’s the big question. Because, of course, you want to make the right choice and partner up with a company that will provide you with great quality services. So, how can you do that?
Well, the key is doing research, of course. First off, make sure to check the freshness and quality of the produce that certain companies offer, because you want the very best for your employees and your business. Then, remember to check the types of fruit they offer, because you need to add some variety to it, instead of getting the same products every single time. That would be boring! Keep that in mind when choosing the company in Australia to be your partner.
Apart from that, you should look into the delivery frequency and see if the company you’re considering is flexible enough to meet your schedule. And, naturally, you want to choose a firm that is known for its excellent customer service, which is why reading some reviews written by past clients could be of help. Finally, take time to compare the prices of these services and ultimately choose the company that will deliver the best fruit boxes at a completely fair cost.

A healthy, morale-boosting initiative that promotes wellness and environmental responsibility—truly a win-win for employees and businesses! Thanks for sharing this.
A fruit box is such a wonderful idea, so much better than having tons of caffeine and so much healthier. Great pointers Tina about how to choose the best option for delivering fruits at your workplace, love it, very valuable.
What a fantastic idea, Tina. I am afraid, I too never ate fruit until two years ago. I wish I could set the clock back. I denied myself fruit for nearly 18 years as I could not afford it. I wish all offices take your advice and start getting fruit boxes instead of junk like chips and colas,
Opting for a fruit box is a fantastic idea; it’s a healthier choice than consuming excessive tea or coffee. Your tips on selecting the best fruit delivery option for the workplace are excellent and highly appreciated.
Fruit boxes are such a great concept to promote healthy eating. One can dig in the best seasonal fruits and also inspire others to try them out. Of course, it’s important to check for freshness and quality.
