Thinking about ways to improve your company culture? Company Culture greatly affects productivity levels and overall office moral and getting the right company culture is key to retaining employees and attracting new talent. We think an office renovation or change in office design can be one way to help boost team moral!

With the current job market workplace culture is fast becoming one of the most crucial factors in managing and creating a successful growing business. It is therefore essential for employers to ensure the work environment keeps employees motivated, productive and most importantly, happy.

Creating a working environment around your employees wants and needs

Firstly, to create a space your employees are proud to work in, find out from your employees what “their ideal working environment” would look like. They will be using the space daily and therefore it is important to listen to their needs and wants. The right office space can not only make employees up to 33% happier at work  and up to 31% more productive, it also creates a great first impression on new and potential clients.

How can you improve your office atmosphere?

It is important to consider how the space you operate in affects your ability to work, ensuring it maximises its potential. Office Atmosphere is important and 69% of businesses that implemented office changes with healthy building features reported an improvement in employee engagement and satisfaction. Consider how loud the office is, is there space for the team to sit away from their desks for lunch breaks? Is there natural light in the office? What are the facilities like? It is questions like these that need to be addressed to provide an office environment suitable for employees to feel comfortable and motivated.

The psychological effects of colours and lighting in the office

Colours have a great influence on our daily lives and life choices. Colours can be used as a tool to alter or channelize people’s behaviour, overall daily mood and performance levels. Employees spend most of their time working within the office and therefore the interior colour and lighting becomes more defined and prominent to their daily mood and productivity. Working in a low light environment is difficult and an office with high beams of light creates disturbance within the office. An office environment that uses more natural light can help employees be more creative and productive and in terms of unnatural light, using fluorescent lights create less heat and gives a “calmer” light.
