Increase Staff Productivity Through Office Furniture
It has been learned that work production is directly affected by employees’ attitudes towards their workspace and office furniture as well. In a recent study, researchers compared two workspaces, one of which is “free-range” and the other one is “battery”. The former set up is an office with an open layout and mobile communication devices. The latter, on the other hand, has slow machines and computers, cubicles and office furniture that are more stationary and outdated. To know how your business can achieve efficient production, here are some helpful facts according to research:
- A work area cluttered with office furniture and office equipments that are outdated and tampered has a negative effect as it decreases the company’s level of production.
- It is beneficial to the business if the employees find themselves working in a spacious office environment that has movable office equipments.
- In the free-range office, workers’ stress levels fall by 50% while the amount of productivity increased significantly.
- Employees’ IQ scores and short-term memory abilities are significantly higher when they are working in a free-range layout compared to those who are working in a space cramped with several sets of office furniture.
While some establishments prefer not to replace their old and worn out office furniture, unknown to them, this may be the reason why the quality of production by their workers have gone significantly low. And as these facts present, the positioning, kind and design of office furniture together with the working space that the employees have has a great effect on how the workers produce their output, which is very important for businesses.
