Coffee Badging

Hi there,

Have you heard of the term "coffee badging "? This week, I found out about an interesting idea that is becoming popular as companies ask employees to come back to the office more often.

What is Coffee Badging? "Coffee badging" means going to your workplace and staying just long enough to have a coffee with colleagues before going back home to work. The term "badging" comes from using your employee badge to enter the office, which shows that you were there. With many companies now asking workers to come into the office for at least part of the week, and some even thinking about making it a full five-day office week, employees are finding creative ways to manage their time in the office.

How to Use This Term in Daily Life and Conversation?

You can use the term "coffee badging" when talking about your work habits or discussing work policies with others. For example:

• "I only stayed for an hour this morning. Just enough time for coffee badging before heading back to work from home."

• "With the new office rules, many of us have started coffee badging. It helps us stay flexible."

• "Are you planning to stay the whole day, or just coffee badging today?"

This practice lets employees meet the company's requirements while still enjoying the flexibility of working from home. It's an interesting way to balance the traditional office setting with modern remote work.
