Morsl transforms workplace eating culture : Amazon and beyond
Discover how Morsl ’ s health-focused micro-markets create healthier , happier & more productive workplaces through the lens of Amazon Australia
Morsl , Australia ’ s leading provider of healthy workplace food solutions , is dedicated to enhancing workplace culture , employee engagement and fostering a positive work environment . Founder and CEO , Karla Borland , expresses its mission as transforming workplaces into healthier , happier and more productive spaces .
Borland explains : “ We do that via our core offering of self-service cafes ( micro markets ), providing 24 / 7 access to fresh and healthy food throughout the entire workday . We also provide coffee , breakroom procurement , event catering and employee engagement events across the entire calendar year .”
A testament to Morsl ’ s success is its presence in the massive Amazon BWU2 fulfilment centre in Australia . Kelly Godschalx , Amazon ’ s Regional Procurement Operations Manager , describes BWU2 as Amazon ’ s largest fulfilment centre
in the southern hemisphere . It spans more than 200,000 square metres across four levels . Considering the location of BWU2 , in an area with no surrounding food options , an on-site solution was a must . However , choosing Morsl over other options was a strategic decision for Amazon . Godschalx highlights Morsl ’ s space efficiency and cost-effectiveness , stating : “ Morsl is a very space-efficient , cost-effective solution that allows us to service the fulfilment centre , so that our 2,000 + associates have access to healthy food and beverages , while only taking up a small floor space .”
At its core , Morsl ’ s primary focus is to improve employee wellbeing by promoting healthy eating habits . Good nutrition is particularly important in the industrial space to maintain overall productivity and manage the effects of shift work . Morsl ’ s holistic range of services makes it an ideal partner to meet all on-site food and beverage needs , while fostering healthier eating habits , employee engagement and wellbeing . One of Amazon ’ s core cultural values is the equitable treatment of all associates , and Morsl ’ s flexible solutions achieve this with ease , offering the same great level of service to day and night staff alike .
