Modern furnishing within your workplace can have a fantastic beneficial affect on your office space, however poor quality furniture could seriously affect productivity, wellbeing and employee morale.
Also, it is also very important that the furniture in your waiting room is kept in good condition and is well maintained. If your waiting room is uncomfortable, or if it has damaged furniture, this could lead to a guest having a poor first impression of your business.
Do the colours that you have chosen match both your brand and your business'ethos? For example, for many the colour green is associated with nature and feeling of tranquillity. Additionally, some believe that the colour green can have a calming effect on employees and reduce feeling of anxiety. If you would like to learn more about the use of colour in the workplace, consider reading our blog titled, The Psychology of Colour in the Workplace.
Uncomfortable chairs and the numerous health risks associated with them could lead to a decrease in both employee productivity and employee wellbeing. In our blog titled, Wellbeing in The Workplace & Office Design; 5 Things to Consider, we discussed the issue of poor quality furniture and the importance of ergonomics. Ideally, your choice of furniture should be as flexible and adjustable as the rest of the workplace, ideally having sufficient leg space and a back rest of 50 cm.
Also, by giving your employees storage options, this frees desk space which could be used to keep track of important upcoming deadlines, or perhaps the space could be used to keep a plant.
Did you know that “workers in offices that offered green or natural features had a 15% higher sense of wellbeing and were 6% more productive"? If you would like to learn more about the use of plants in the workplace and how they could be beneficial for employee wellbeing and office productivity, you can find more information by reading our blog titled Biophilic office design: A growing trend.
