Heineken is offering a free pint of Heineken Original or Heineken 0.0 for workers and their colleagues at more than 1,000 pubs as people say they miss after-work socials with many peopel now working from home. It comes as the beer brand is renaming pubs across the UK ‘The Office’ to spotlight the silver lining of being back at your desk - the bit that comes after.
46% of hybrid workers say they miss out on post-work converstaions. New working practices mean 58% of Gen Z hybrid workers have never met some of those they work with but 78% of workers polled said after work socialising is a good way to meet new people and contacts.
Nabil Nasser, Global Head of Heineken, said: "The return-to-office chat continues to stir up debate. After years of video calls and virtual cheers it’s safe to say that while we might not miss the office, we’ve certainly missed those real, in-person laughs with our colleagues. At Heineken, we’ve always believed the best moments happen when people get together, so this month we’re raising our pints to ‘circling back’ to our colleagues – at the pub."
Heineken will be renaming the following pubs to ‘The Office’ on Thursday, October 9:
- Two Bridges, Bermondsey, London
- Devonshire Arms, Duke Street London
- The Atlas Bar, Deansgate, Manchester
- The Cross Keys, Earle St, Liverpool
- Admiral Woods, Waterloo St, Glasgow
