Does your small business breakroom need a makeover?
The breakroom serves as an important resting spot in any office. But some spaces tend to get stale and just serve as an extension of the fluorescent-lit cubicle maze where your employees spend the rest of their days plugging away at important business tasks.
So Staples is hosting a contest to encourage businesses to refresh those spaces. The winner can earn a $50,000 ultimate breakroom makeover.
Learn about the Staples Breakroom Makeover Contest and other small business events in the Featured Events section. Then check out even more upcoming opportunities in the list below.
