Does
your current office space provide an environment for optimizing your
employees’ productivity? If not, what are some ways to improve it?
Happy employees are the foundation for productivity. From lighting to
pops of color, there are many ways to create a positive workplace.
When you start seeing your workplace less as a building and more as
an environment, you can begin considering a commercial
design build for your Minneapolis business that will inspire
openness and productivity.
As a
company that specializes in office remodeling, we’ve helped
countless business owners reach the full potential of their
commercial space. We have a few great suggestions on how to optimize
your office for getting the job done.
Open
Floor Plans
It’s simple. When the walls come down, productivity goes up. An
open floor plan can make employees more accountable for their
actions. Social media can be a terrible distraction but with the
walls down, there will be less looking-over-the-shoulders and more
work getting done. An open floor plan also helps increase morale, as
well as in-person interactions.
Natural
Light
There
have been several studies about the affects of natural light on
workers. From darker spaces causing Vitamin D deficiencies to
unnatural light messing with workers’ sleep patterns or causing
headaches; there are many reasons to let the light in on your next
commercial design build.
Employees
need access to sunlight. You can maximize the natural light that
enters your office with strategically placed windows. Interior walls
made of glass can help increase their access to natural light. You
can also strategically place solid walls so they won’t block
employees’ access to daylight. In addition, there are many options
in smart lighting systems to help fend off the lack-of-light blues.
When you contact us for your commercial design build, we can discuss
the many lighting options and help increase your access to natural
light.
Pops
of Color
Add
an element of surprise with unexpected flourishes of color. Decorate
your space with colorful accent walls, murals or colorful furniture
to brighten your employees’ day. Drab colored walls can limit your
employees’ creativity and thus decrease productivity.
At
Titus Contracting, we love to incorporate these subtle elements of
design in a commercial design build, knowing what a new coat of paint
or accent wall can do to the dynamics of a space.
These
are just a few of the many ways an office remodel can help increase
productivity. Would you like to learn more about a commercial design
