The place that you actually work in has a huge effect on the productivity of the office overall – humans are affected by their surroundings so if your office is less than productive maybe it is a good time to have a look and see what changes can be made to the office environment itself.
Getting people feeling good at work is an important factor in promoting a good work ethic, and by creating a pleasant environment you are more likely to achieve a focussed workplace. Here are some ideas to get you started…
Have a de-clutter – clutter is no good for productivity, so have a big office clear out and de-clutter! There is probably a lot that you don’t need, as well as things that could be organised much more efficiently, so get a skip and have a good clear out.
Think about comfort – When we are comfortable, we will naturally work better and be happier. It may be time to upgrade your office furniture to create a more comfortable workplace – get some new office chairs and desks and don’t forget to provide reception chairs for visitors!
Add some colour -Colours are another thing that have a huge impact on our moods – make the workplace a joyful and inspirational place to be rather than dull drab and boring. You don’t have to go crazy and paint all the walls in rainbow stripes – some colourful artwork and plants are a great way to add colour to the office without it being overwhelming!
