3. INTRODUCTION
Your employees will be more creative and
productive if they feel comfortable in their office
space.
Creativity is certainly possible in a distracting and
loud environment, though it is much easier in a
place that is intentionally designed to be a highly
productive office space.
Do you know how to go about creating one of
these?
Next, we will discuss how you can create an
environment that is designed to unleash your
employees’ productivity and creativity.

5. AMBIENT NOISES
A base level of ambient noise in any space can
stimulate the mind and increase productivity.
In fact, studies have found that creative tasks in the
brain are made much easier by a certain level of
ambient noise.
You can bring ambient noises into your workplace
in a few ways. First, you can allow them to listen to
music themselves, pump in ambient noises using
software, or simply let in the noise of the outside
world.

7. LIGHTING AND COLOR
Lighting and color can greatly influence an office
space in the same way that ambient noises do.
Natural lighting in particular is incredibly important
in a work environment because natural light
provides your body with useful melatonin.
Therefore, it is important that everyone have
access to windows in their office to receive access
to natural light.
An open office design is useful for this purpose, as
it spreads natural light across a space more easily
when there are few walls to get in the way.

9. CAFFEINE
You probably already know that coffee and tea have
incredible energizing properties, and that most
adults enjoy drinking them.
There are many pros and cons to consuming
caffeine.
Some pros include an increased cerebral blood flow,
improved mood, and increased metabolism.
An increased metabolism in and of itself can be
useful because it encourages you to provide your
body with the proper amount of nutrition.
To that end, keep your office kitchen well stocked
with plenty of coffee and tea to encourage happy,
energized employees.
