How Office Design Impacts Employee Productivity

Could your office design be responsible for your employee’s productivity? 

Historically, offices aren’t usually associated with happy places. They’re often portrayed as boring, uninspired spaces that all look the same and lack any imagination. Employees who are awaiting the clock to strike 5:00 are as eager to escape their workspace just as much as they are to abandon their duties for the day.  

Modern offices sing a much different tune and are quickly evolving into places that employees are excited to go to each day. Worn-out furniture is being replaced with adjustable desks, comfortable chairs, and vibrant-colored accent pieces. The water cooler is being traded for Keurig coffee stations that taste every bit as good as your local coffee shop, along with a snack bar and other desirable amenities. 

The office environment as we once knew it is quickly becoming a thing of the past—and that’s a good thing! Companies in Office Evolution Summit are rethinking their office designs to improve the work life of their employees, and it’s paying off in the form of happier, more productive workers.  

Even if you don’t have a budget that allows for a game room or nap area, you can still empower your office design to promote a productive environment where everyone can do their best work. Read on and discover the biggest elements that can affect productivity and use them to your advantage.
