How to Optimise the Working Environment

If you want to boost productivity and get a happier, healthier workforce then a few improvements to the working environment can work wonders. In fact, relatively minor changes such as new ceiling fans, humidifiers and better lighting can make any place far better to work in.

Add Ceiling Fans

Keeping your team cool in summer and warm in winter can be a huge challenge. However, if you don’t get this right then their productivity and even their health can be affected.

For example, in a hot, still office people can get dehydrated, become drowsy or suffer from heat stress. If it is too cold in winter then they are likely to be more at risk of picking up colds and infections.

A ceiling fan can be a terrific help in this case, as they provide an easy and economical way of moving still air and lowering the temperature on a hot day. In addition, you will also find that some office ceiling fans can be reversed in winter to warm up the working space.

Use a Humidifier

Dry air is another big risk at work. Anyone who spends all day working in a very dry environment can suffer from dehydration, irritated nostrils and even an increased risk of diseases entering the body through their respiratory system.

Humidifiers can make life a lot easier during a long, dry spell by adding moisture to the air. There are different models available depending upon whether just one person needs more moist air or if it is for the whole office. The best humidifiers are economical to use and may only need to be put into service for limited periods of times in some workplaces anyway.

Get Better Lighting

Poor lighting can also cause big problems for people who work in a dim office or factory. Straining to look at a screen or to read documents can cause headaches and other issues.

It is also worth bearing in mind that insufficient lighting can be a safety issue, as staff might not notice hazards that they need to avoid. Overall, better lighting will make it a safer and far more comfortable place for everyone who works there. Of course, it is important to avoid going too far in the opposite direction and making the lighting too harsh and bright, as this can lead to different problems for the workers.

Add More Plants

Did you know that adding plants to your working environment can bring a number of useful benefits? Studies have shown that the use of plants can make staff happier and more productive. They are said to help improve workers’ concentration and creativity. As well as this, plants such as bamboo and ficus offer an easy way to improve the air quality at work too. This is a simple and low cost approach that will quickly make a difference to the look and feel of the space.

Don’t let your team suffer in an unsuitable working environment when making it a better place for them to be is now easier than ever before.
