The thing about electricity is that it rarely files a complaint form before it goes wrong. It won't send an all-staff email announcing, "Apologies for the inconvenience, but I intend to spark a minor catastrophe near the photocopier.

Keeping employees inspired isn't just about kombucha on tap or bean bag chairs that nobody uses twice. There's a less obvious, less photogenic upgrade that could quietly spark a renaissance of productivity in your office: spray foam insulation. Yes, insulation.

It's easy to assume that when the team-building email drops, your introverts are already quietly plotting their escape via a fake dental emergency. But what if we've been misunderstanding them all along? What if they're not dreading the concept of team building, just the usual execution of it—awkward trust falls, icebreakers that demand "fun facts," and long, loud group lunches where everyone competes to out-charm each other like it's a TED Talk?

Workplace kitchens are not known for their charm.
