Shockingly true, most people spend about a third of their day at work. And with 38 hours a week at that desk… it better be a good one. A good workplace design not only promotes people's job satisfaction, but also their health. And therefore, deserves full attention. But what does good workplace design mean? You will learn that in this blog article.
THE ERA OF DULL, GRAY OFFICES IS OVER
The era of dull, gray offices is over. Especially now that the new way of working isn't even that new anymore. Today's work revolves around flexibility, freedom and responsibility. And this is reflected in the workplace design of an office. If it's good, at least. Employees must feel at home in the office and there must be room for knowledge exchange. The tips below will help.
5 TIPS FOR A PERFECT WORKPLACE DESIGN
The 5 tips below will help you set up your workplace in such a way that your employees love to spend whole days in the office.
1. Create quiet places
A bit of commotion in the office is of course pleasant, but your workplace should certainly have a quiet place. A place where someone can carry out their work in peace, without being disturbed. Or worse: being disturbed by the noise.
2. Go for comfortable office furniture
A workplace design is all about comfort. Nothing is more annoying than having problems with your back, arms and/or neck. That's not easy to type. And complaining about sore limbs also takes time, especially if it happens en masse... That's why we have a wide range of comfortable office furniture. Suitable for every budget of course. In this way you are assured that employees do not get physical complaints due to an incorrect working posture.
3. Green is good
By green we mean plants. Plants, plants and more plants. Drag them in. Not only because these looks so nice, but especially because plants in the office are healthy. They provide better air quality (more oxygen, etc., very nice) and also contribute to better well-being and a lower stress level.
4. Choose the right lighting
The effect of light on our well-being is often underestimated, but light certainly has an important influence on us. Good lighting is necessary for health and too little light in the workplace means less productivity. Therefore, ensure that there is sufficient light in the office. Daylight is especially important. Is there too little daylight? Then supplement this with artificial light. We can help you provide your office with the right lighting.
5. Create different spaces for different tasks
A sitting area to relax, a cozy patio as a meeting place, quiet places to concentrate, meeting room table with good acoustic walls and a relaxation area with, for example, a tennis table or a football table. These are all elements that should not be missing in your new workplace design.
