So you're a business owner or a facilities/office manager, and you're thinking 'What can I do to improve my employee's wellbeing?'
Well, no matter what your stage in the office cycle is, here are 3 things you definitely should be including in any office.
Planting and natural textures
Plants and natural textures help to increase the visual elements and bring in natural representations of nature inside the workspace so employees don't feel like they're holed up in a concrete box all day. They have got actual life and textures that remind them of the outside, inside the office. This is really important as it taps into our natural biophilia (our innate love of life) and helps keep people more relaxed and productive throughout the day.
Lighting
It's so important to have good lighting in an office space. If the space is too dark, it will feel really oppressive. Companies need to have well-lit spaces that will encourage people to want to come to work and help them to do their best work.

It can be really helpful to have lighting that will actually tender to the body's natural circadian rhythms so the actual temperature of the light will change throughout the day to help keep the body going through its natural cycles, which is really beneficial to anyone.

Acoustics
Noises and distractions are rife in today's workplace. The rattle of keyboards, people talking, background music, coffee machines etcetera can create a space that makes productivity and wellbeing plummet. Introducing acoustic treatment to a space can really help to make the office a much happier place to be.
Acoustic panels and screens, sound masking, and soundproof pods are all things that can be easily implemented into a working environment to help improve productivity and staff happiness.
So there we go, 3 things you can do today to improve your workspace. If you want more info, or just want to have a chat about how to create a great workspace for your employees, give me a shout: [email protected] | 07824 591 593
