DESIGN THE WAY YOU WANT TO WORK

Nothing boosts productivity at the workplace quite like a work environment that promotes wellness and creativity. Here are ten tips for a workplace that will inspire an employee's best
Environments that combine comfort function and emotional satisfaction can inspire people to do their best work as well as increase productivity, satisfaction and engagement.
Here are some ways you can bring wellbeing into the workplace.1. BLUR THE LINES
Spaces that blur the boundaries between work and home create a comfortable environment, invite people to relax and think outside the box.
2. LOOSEN UP
For people to work comfortably, feet don't always have to be on the floor. Relaxed postures can still support their productivity.
3. LET IT BE
Work can happen anywhere a few minutes here, a few hours there. With many ways to get things done, the 'right' way is to let people choose their own work destinations.
4. ALLOW FOR ALONE
Most people toggle between introverted and extroverted modes throughout their work day . Spaces that allow people to escape, ponder and disconnect, support cognitive and emotional wellbeing.
5. ENCOURAGE ESCAPES
A non-traditional, 'third place' setting gets people re-energised and optimistic about making progress, especially, if they can count on convenient access to power while they are there.
6. CREATE AN UNPLUG ZONE
A space with zero connectivity to Wifi and power will encourage people to have facetime with each other, read a book or rest their eyes.
7. BREAK NEW GROUND
Knowledge work is demanding and intense. Taking a break from the traditional workstation and leaning back into a lounge, supports comfort and productivity .
8. BE MOODY
Different work modes call for different surroundings. Some materials and colours stimulate creative thinking, others can frame the mind for contemplation and repose.
9. PUT NATURE TO WORK
Bring wellbeing to the office by providing the option for people to work outside. Fresh air and natural light are refreshing, and it's been proven that working outdoors or near natural light, improves creativity, productivity and engagement.
10. CREATE CHOICES
One person's lounge can be another person's workstation. A range of settings and support for transitions can accommodate different work styles and postures.

QUICK BYTE FOR PEOPLE TO WORK COMFORTABLY, FEET DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ON THE FLOOR.
RELAXED POSTURES CAN STILL SUPPORT THEIR PRODUCTIVITY.
