But creating the right environment for your workers isn’t as easy as adjusting the thermostat, in this post we will discuss ideas about how to provide a workspace that fosters your employee’s productivity.
The ingredients for a great environment are…
As we mentioned before supplying a space that make your employees eager to work takes many components, some of them are temperature, noise control and air quality.
Warmer and more quiet offices are a great place to get work done efficiently and effectively. Noise can be controlled with sound dampers between desks and meeting rooms or placed above, in the ceiling, as both a solution and a decorative feature.
A proper HVAC system will keep the air quality in optimal conditions but also placing greenery around the office will have a positive impact on its aspect and will help to keep it sanitized.

Turn Illumination into an experience
Illumination is more important than you think when it comes to how we perceive the environment that we work on and where we spend a big part of our day to day.
Make the most of your windows and skylights as natural light and views tend to be great mood boosters. If you don’t have openings you can play with functional and decorative light fixtures in order to reduce affectations such as: fatigue, anxiety, sense of claustrophobia and headaches.
Your employees will be thankful for having a bright and clear work space and your clients and visitors won’t want to leave your comfortable and well-designed office.

Keep Moving!
Every company has its own unique work metabolism but one thing that they all share in common is that interaction and outside- desk activities are required to complete daily tasks. Movement energizes the body and mind of a person, gives them a better sense of time as they have to displace and face other’s activities in order to complete their own.
Enhance togetherness and teamwork with layouts that promote engagement between coworkers, a simple greeting or a brief exchange of ideas might be the key to the next successful project.
A great way to enhance movement is placing the printer and supply area separated from the desk spaces or locating lunch and meeting rooms away from the work space, this way your employees will feel that they experience an environment larger and livelier than just their desk.
Make your employees and visitors feel at home
Adding a proper kitchen and lunch area to your layout might create the perfect place for your employees to recharge batteries during lunch break, they’ll feel cared and respected an that will definitely translate in the work they do every day.
Also, a lounge room with vibrant furniture surely will be a nice option to chat with a client or a coworker rather than a stiff conversation from desk to desk.
