Your working
environment has a direct bearing on your mood and can affect your productivity.
If you want to improve the workplace so that your employees can become more
productive, follow the tips below for updating your office space.
1. Your Lighting Is Horrible
Statistics
show office improvements won’t do much good if you don’t have sufficient lighting
for your employees to work by. If the lighting in your building is up to date
and doesn't strain your employees’ eyes, productivity can increase by as much
as ten percent. Another bonus to having the right type of lighting is there are
approximately 58 percent fewer accidents. Experts state natural lighting is the best way to go when
improving your office décor, as studies show sunlight is a natural mood lifter
and makes people feel more energetic. Sometimes a simple reconfiguration of the
office can maximise natural light.
2. Your running out of space
You should make sure that the office furniture you
choose leaves plenty of storage space for expansion and for your employees to
work flexibly. No one can work well in a cramped space. Allow your workers to make
their workspace their own as well. Getting the employees to give their opinion on
how the workplace should look will make them feel happier and more comfortable
at work. This in turn makes them more productive employees
3. Dysfunctional Furniture
If your furniture looks and feels like it came from
the ’70s, then it is time to update and let the modern world take over. Uninspiring
offices create uninspired works and portrays a negative image to your clients.
4. Watch That Thermostat
It’s a basic human need to feel the right temperature.
If your workers are too cold or too hot they will not work productively. A correct
and comfortable climate is vital for a happy workplace.
