Work productivity highly depends on\u00a0the<\/strong>\u00a0layout of your office<\/strong>. Where we work affects not only how focused we are (and stay) but also the amount of work we get done. With more and more companies allowing working from home, it is often challenging for employees to return to the office. According to a study by\u00a0Acerta<\/a>, only 7% of employees want to return to the office full-time. That may come as a surprise, but employees who work from home tend to be less distracted and work more focused hours.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ideas can be shared more easily as a team, and brainstorms can be organized more spontaneously. But perhaps most importantly, regularly seeing your coworkers benefits the team spirit. Working as a team allows your employees to support and learn from each other.<\/p>

But despite the benefits, why do most people prefer working from home to working at the office? How can rethinking your office layout help your team to return? And how can you increase overall productivity at the office? This blog post lists\u00a06 tips to boost your office productivity<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Create Designated Office Spaces\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Every team has\u00a0different needs and challenges<\/strong>. For some teams, it\u2019s essential to collaborate on the spot, making it possible to ask each other questions and share ideas quickly. That might be the case for your sales or marketing team, where collaboration is part of their job. Other teams, for example, your finance team, need more focus and concentration. They need as few distractions as possible.<\/p>

Before redesigning your office, it\u2019s essential first to identify the different types of work activities and then\u00a0create separate spaces<\/strong> for people to work in. Make sure you create quiet rooms where people can focus and social spaces where they can collaborate as a team. If you can, also create a room for people to relax and take their minds off work. Changing spaces shifts your brain and helps you stay focused.<\/p>

At\u00a0Showpad<\/a>, they created separate dedicated spaces with JUUNOO’s demountable walls<\/a> for their employees to relax, concentrate and collaborate on projects.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2. Include Space for Movement\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Something often overlooked is to include enough space to\u00a0move around easily<\/strong>\u00a0in the office. While it might not be the first thing that pops into your head when increasing productivity in the office, there are some benefits you should consider.<\/p>

People who sit at their desks for extended periods need to stretch their legs once in a while. When you can take a break now and then, you mentally recharge. Those\u00a0mental breaks keep us focused<\/strong>\u00a0during a long day at work. Another way of adding space is replacing seated meetings in the conference room with walking meetings outside the building.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Improve your Lighting\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the most critical factors influencing productivity is lighting. Research shows that the\u00a0proper lighting impacts your mental and physical health, mood, creativity, and productivity<\/strong>. On the other hand, when the lighting is too bright or dim, your brain constantly needs to adapt to the environment, causing headaches and fatigue. But what is the best office lighting?<\/p>

In general, white lights and cooler blues are the best options for concentrating. In spaces where people can relax, the lighting should be warmer. If you can let in natural daylight, then do so. Make sure it doesn\u2019t directly face your employees or block their computer screens.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

4. Control the Noise Level\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The biggest complaint from employees is that the\u00a0workspace is too loud<\/strong>. That\u2019s why many prefer working from home since it\u2019s often quieter and thus better to concentrate. Research has shown that working in a noisy place leads to more stress, lower productivity, and lower job satisfaction.<\/p>

You can create dedicated quiet spaces or install phone booths to reduce noise<\/a>. Your employees can work on focused tasks or have a phone or video call without interrupting other coworkers. If that\u2019s not an option, improving your insulation can help reduce the noise. Acoustic wall panels have been making their entry into the office for quite a while now and have proven helpful. If those are not an option, noise-canceling headphones can help your employees focus.<\/p>

If you\u2019ve ever worked at a desk where you were constantly adjusting or stretching, you know how important an ergonomic setup is. Having your chair and table at the right height\u00a0reduces strain on the body<\/strong>\u00a0and makes it\u00a0easier and more comfortable<\/strong>\u00a0to do your job, which improves overall productivity. Here are a few tips:<\/p>
