Recreate Your Office For Ultimate Employee Effectiveness

Talking about work probably does not sound very interesting to some people. But there is one fact that everyone can agree on. Whether we work from home (WFH), work from anywhere (WFA), or work in the office directly (WFO), we as employees are quite dependent on our mood at work. A good mood will encourage creativity, increase competitiveness, and produce good work.

How do you improve your employee's mood to maximize work results?

Data shows that 96% of employees believe that good office design leads to superior overall performance, and also makes a company more competitive. A good office design contains collaboration and communication - causing the employees to work together to solve problems and accomplish tasks easily.

Then, a new question arises: How to design a good office?

That question can be answered easily, by paying attention to some key design factors when you as a company owner want to bring a new atmosphere to your office.

The key factors

• Color Palette

Colors can greatly affect the mood and energy levels of employees. It is important to choose the right color scheme for your office interior design project. However, you can add pops of color to create a focal point or energize the space.

• Lighting

Lighting is an obvious factor in office interior design. The proper lighting can improve employee mood, reduce eye strain, and increase productivity. Task lighting can be used to highlight specific areas or work objects, and ambient lighting can be used to create a cozy atmosphere.

• Consider Ergonomics

Health and well-being go hand in hand, and ergonomics in the workspace have a direct impact on the health of your team. To improve employee well-being in the workplace, evaluate how supportive and comfortable your office environment is and look out for ways to improve it.

• Intuitive Layout Patterns

Aside from incorporating design elements into the interior, another crucial characteristic to increase productivity in your workspace is the layout. A company that has an intuitive and well-structured layout will make it easier for all entities associated with it, from employees to customers.

• Add a Lounge Area

A lounge area that allows your employees to enjoy the perfect break, socialize with other colleagues, and munch on some delicious food will get them recharged and increase workforce productivity.

• Incorporate Comfortable Furniture

Prioritizing comfortable furniture when going for office interior design, such as using comfortable chairs that have soft backrests can help reduce health issues in employees.

• Apply Color Psychology

There have been several studies on color psychology and how different colors make us feel. Colors have even been shown to affect our productivity. It is important to know what you want to achieve with color, and how to choose colors that suit your goals.
