Focus on workplace experience

There are plenty of studies on how a messy, unorganized room causes stress. Clutter can overstimulate our minds making it difficult to focus and feel inspired. From this research, it’s clear there’s a link between environmental variables and a person’s mental state. Now, think about this connection in terms of the workplace. An office is a place where no matter what a person’s specific responsibilities are, they’re expected to be productive. Specific deliverables aside, humans are meant to create and collaborate when they come to work, day in and day out. In fact, with a single disengaged employee there’s whole working culture at stake, so its in every organization’s interest to focus on workplace experience. And yet, oftentimes office settings are established with little intent to promote cognitive productivity. Facilities is in charge of the physical office space, IT handles the tech, HR supports interpersonal needs, and office management curates the ambiance. One would think with each variable designated to a separate team, each of these pieces would click together to make up a harmonious environment. Sometimes, the departments carry their own biases, priorities, and timelines that make it difficult to align harmoniously with other departments.

To improve the workplace experience we also need to focus on the employee experience of the organization. This can be done by taking active initiatives, forming policies and plans that provide employee not only a healthy and safe environment but a supportive environment that is culturally diversified and equitable to all.
