With workers finally returning to their office spaces in London, many employees will need to readjust to the novelty of working in their offices rather than at home. Now is the time to maximise your office’s productivity by creating a workspace that generates maximum efficiency at work.
Here are 5 tips to keep in mind when trying to boost office productivity:
- Invest in ergonomic furniture
When your employees are comfortable in the office, this leads to higher work rates and increased output. Equipping your office with ergonomic furniture, such as ergonomic chairs and adjustable desks, can reduce the physical stress on their bodies and boost productivity for your business.
- Improve air quality
With more than 100 million days lost to sickness every year in the UK, having air filters installed in your office can reduce the risk of employees losing working days due to illness. This is especially poignant during a global pandemic.
- Repaint your office
Studies have shown that room colours have a significant effect on the way people feel, and this contributes to their performance. Yellows are associated with inspiring and cultivating creativity, blues and greens are calming in a frenetic, stressful environment and shades of orange are excellent for boosting energy and enthusiasm levels. Tailoring your office’s colour scheme to suit the mood that will generate the greatest productivity for your company can really pay off in the long term.
- Create more rest spaces for your workers
According to studies, taking more breaks is associated with increased productivity. When workers are able to rejuvenate between projects they approach their work with renewed enthusiasm. Creating more spaces where employees can take restful and relaxing breaks during the day allows them to return to their desks feeling refreshed and eager to continue their jobs.
A partial or total office redesign can revamp your London office space into an environment that is more conducive to productive work. Employing construction companies to remodel the space to create better lighting, increased building insulation and give each employee more space of their own can really generate more positive surroundings which will increase ultimate worker productivity.
