Office Design Tips to Increase Productivity at Work

 

Office space design has a huge impact on your employees’ ability to focus on their work and their overall work productivity. According to the latest research, the most important factors contributing towards overall work productivity are the office environment and design. With the right design, you can inspire your employees and increase their efficiency and passion towards their job.
Let us look at these five simple tips to design an ultimate office space to increase your team’s productivity.

 

1. Lighting

Light is one of the important factors in an office design. Bad lighting in an office space can lead to employee health issues such as eyestrain, fatigue, headaches or depression. Office designs which allow maximum natural light help in creating a warm and positive atmosphere.  If it’s not possible to incorporate natural light, Smart LED lights can help brighten dark office spaces.
Tip: The use of Aluform’s partition systems in full-height glass walls allows for maximum natural light in the workspace and helps to create a positive and energetic environment.

2. Noise Control

The major concern with using glass wall partitions for natural light in the office space design is acoustic performance and noise transfer. A noisy atmosphere can be a big distraction for employees and reduce their productivity. It is essential to provide quiet spaces for employees where they can avoid distractions and concentrate on their work.
Tip: Aluform has a range of partition systems such as Series 1000 Double Glaze, Series 9000 Double Glaze and XDG Series that have been specifically deigned for optimum acoustic performance.

To existing workspaces, noise transfer can also be reduced through the use of products such as the Autex Quietspace® range, of which Aluform is proud to be a preferred distributor. View this range now, https://aluforminteriors.com.au/product/interior-acoustics/.

 

3. Incorporating Colours

Psychologically, colours have a direct effect on persons’ moods and behaviours. Using the right colours in your work place design can help in increasing your team’s focus and productivity.
Tip: Aluform’s aluminium sections are available in natural anodised or can be powdercoated in a variety of colours to meet the architect’s requirements and specifications.

 

4. Employee Health and Well-being

Feeling constrained and restricted to one spot for the entire day makes employees feel unproductive. Companies are now concentrating on incorporating spaces within the workspace that will promote interaction amongst employees and help in their wellbeing. Creating spaces such as gym rooms and break-out areas will get employees moving from their desks for a break so that focus can be sustained.

 

5. Office Furniture

Good quality furniture is one of the best investments to improve employee satisfaction and avoid any discomfort. Poor posture due to the wrong style of desk and chair is an increasing concern for employees and leads to a decline in productivity. Employees in an office environment spend a major part of their day sitting in one position at their desk and it’s crucial to consider an appropriate desk design.
