What a great idea! I think that the companies that allow employees to fraternize understand that this is the best way to keep employees satisfied and content to stick around. A rough day at work will always be rough, but it may not be the stick that breaks the camel's back if you have a friend at work to laugh about it with.
I agree that training is very important & that's a great example of a company that understanding this.
Although seems to have less & less in-house or course training given to most in the last few year & there is actually less incentive for companies to do so. The other day, I saw a stats that says 70% of new grads leave their first job within 2 years. http://blogs.bnet.com/bnet1/?p=578
The first response companies would think is: what's the point of spending so much money to train them, when they would job hop/leave in about 20 months? The funny thing is that due to less training, we have less loyalty or productivity (learning on the job takes more time).

For students & companies, internship still seems to be the best option for learning/training.
