1. BREAK SPACES
Create a casual space for break times that
will encourage communication among staff
and therefore new ideas.
ORGANIZATION
Workspaces should be free of any rubbish
and clutter. An organized space makes for
an organized mind.
FURNITURE
Don’t skimp on furniture. Spending extra on
ergonomics means staff are less likely to take
time off work because of various ailments.
COLOUR
Colour has an influence on the mind. For
example, yellow inspires creativity and green
is calming.
NATURE
It has been proven that plant life increases
cognitive attention and productivity. So
pop one on each desk.
PRIVACY
Despite what you’ve heard, staff prefer
privacy over an open plan office. It allows
them to concentrate and work harder.
SPACE
Make sure staff have enough space to walk
around. They'll be less productive if they
feel too confined.
TECH
Tech and equipment
should be easily accessible
to all members of staff.
Mobile tech is useful in
this sense.
FUSION
Modern offices should include
entertainment for staff. They
should represent a fusion of
home and work.
SMELL
Smell also has an effect on
productivity. Aromatherapy
could therefore be a useful
element in the workplace.
AIR QUALITY
Make sure the office has air conditioning.
This will help prevent illness, while keeping
staff comfortable and happy.
NATURAL LIGHT
A lack of natural light can have a negative
psychological effect. It affects the mood
and level of productivity of employees.
