Workspace Trends
Helping You Boost Productivity in 2017
The
aesthetics and atmosphere of any business’s workplaces affect the way in which
employees perform. Ignoring this aspect and creating a bland, uncomfortable
environment will do nothing to improve your team’s work – which is why you have
to embrace the latest workspace trends.
Emphasize Teamwork and Collaboration
Having your
employees work together to achieve shared goals is incredibly positive, for
both morale and performance.
While many
office workers are doubtless familiar with communicating via email, phone, and
project-management software, actually coming together to collaborate is
increasingly popular today. Cultivate this mindset by restructuring your
workspace to be more open and relaxed; make it easier for colleagues to talk,
share ideas, and display visual materials without having to leave their seat or
pick up the phone.
Invest in Your Employees’ Comfort
Wellness and
happiness were overlooked in too many workplaces for the longest time, but
modern businesses (rightly) understand their importance.
One key
aspect of boosting staff’s wellbeing and happiness? Investing in designer
furniture offering supreme luxury throughout the working day. Crafted by
experts, from the finest materials, designer furniture encourages proper
posture and eliminates discomfort; as a result, your employees will enjoy
stronger concentration and (crucially) become more productive.
Ergonomic
chairs are designed to provide blissful comfort for employees, built to support
your body and eliminate those aches & pains caused by one-size-fits-all
mass-produced furniture. This investment in designer seats and desks can
transform an entire workplace, providing your team with the quality of comfort
they might expect at a luxury venue rather than their office.
A Fresher Approach
Greenery
elevates the look and feel of any workspace.
A variety of
plants, flowers, and water features throughout your office has the power to
create a fresher atmosphere. Research has shown that plants can lift workers’
moods, and help to bring a more organic feel to otherwise artificial
environments.
This applies
to lighting, too. Consider bigger windows to bring more natural light into the
office, and to allow employees a better view of the world beyond the office;
this is far preferable to stark lighting and the glow of a dozen computer
screens. Nobody wants to feel imprisoned within their office or as if they’re
cut off from fresh air, cool breezes, and the natural world.
By investing
in a revitalized workspace, you’re also investing in your team’s happiness –
and, as a result, their productivity.
