A little bit of home in the office

Home in the Office

Mobile working is on the rise as most office workers don’t need to physically be in the office to do their job, but the still seem to be most productive when they are though. That’s why employers are undertaking a fundamental shift in their approach to office design. The main goal is to create the workplace where people want to be.

Modern office designs are created to engage employees by appealing to their senses, giving them the choice of where and how within the workplace they want to work. Personnel are in a continual search of a better work environment and some are even willing to settle for slightly less pay if the workplace feels like a home away from home in the truest sense.

Light and smell affects motivation and attitude as well. The impact of an aroma placed around the office or improving the lighting could unlock new levels of engagement. Nature is now being brought into the environment; plants aid concentration, increase wellbeing, and remove contaminants. Living walls and fountains as well as comfy sofas and relaxed seating are gaining popularity.

Wellness in the workplace

A trend that has not just made waves in the world of office design, but in countless areas of modern life, is wellness. The pursuit of health and well-being has huge ramifications when it comes to the workplace.

Wellness programs can represent a fantastic way for businesses to focus on the comfort and health of their employees, promoting increased physical and mental health, establishing greater engagement and improved efficiency. Work gyms and breakout spaces supplying complimentary refreshments and healthy goodies can do wonders for creativity within the workforce.

As new technology emerges, and a new generation of employees enters the workplace, their expectations are differing from their predecessors, so, to maintain their loyalty and commitment businesses need to find ways of ensuring that, from the moment they walk into their offices, their aspirations are being met in the most efficient ways.
