14 Tips to Help You Create the Best Workspace

14 Tips to Help You Create the Best Workspace

According to research, employees are expected to be 16% more productive if they love their workspace.

Improving your workspace will ensure that your employees can perform their best. It isn’t difficult to make positive changes to your workspace. In this blog, we will share fourteen tips that can improve your workspace in no time – keep reading!

Get suggestions from your employees

How can you establish the best workspace if you don’t respect your employees’ suggestions? To create the best workspace, you must know what changes your employees want in the workspace.

Hold a poll among your employees regarding the improvement of the workspace. Ask them how you should remodel your workspace, so it helps them do their work easily. You can also arrange a contest and reward the employee who gives the best suggestion, so everyone takes the poll seriously.

Follow the legal requirements

Local governments set guidelines for workspaces that office owners must enforce. The presence of guidelines makes it easier to make companies accountable for the safety of their employees.

Make sure you read your local government’s legal guidelines set for workspaces. Doing so will ensure that you don’t run into any legal problems in the future for violating the guidelines.

For example, you should check the fire marshal inspection checklist so you don’t face any fire accidents in your workspace.

Keep it spacious

A congested workspace will never allow your employees to work properly. There should be enough space so workers can move easily from one place to the other. Having an open office layout will make the office look spacious, increasing the visual appeal of the workspace too.

You don’t necessarily have to remodel your workspace to make it spacious. Changing the furniture and seating arrangement can increase the available free space in your office. Adding mirrors to the walls can also feel that your office is spacious.

Declutter your office

Different items scattered throughout your office will make the whole place look messy. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you get rid of items your staff doesn’t use regularly.

Encourage the staff to leave the items at a specific place when they don’t have to use them. Adding a cabin to the desk of all employees will also make it easier to keep the office clutter-free. Focus on cable management and add wireless devices instead of wired ones.

Get an office mascot

Having a mascot in your office can make it look more attractive. You can make a cat or a dog the mascot of your office. Some studies show that having a pet in the office can help employees manage their work-life balance.

Before choosing the mascot, it’s important to get feedback from your employees to check whether you should bring a cat or a dog. You can bring the office mascot once a week to the office if it’s difficult to take care of the pet throughout the workday.

Make a place for socializing

Socializing is an important part of life. Getting connected with other team members can help your employees do their best. Therefore, you should include a special place for socialization in your workspace.

Socialization can also boost the productivity of your employees. With socialization, your employees will be more encouraged to collaborate across teams.

It’s better to dedicate a room or a hall for socialization. The place should be comfy and have proper seating, so your employees are compelled to spend time in the “socialization” area.

Let people enjoy their hobbies

It’s your job as an employer to ensure that your employees can maintain a work-life balance. One of the best ways to encourage your employees to perform their best is by allowing them to work on their hobbies during office hours.

Set up a different room for employees where they can exercise their hobbies. If some employees don’t have any hobbies, you should encourage them to choose a hobby they find exciting.

Provide proper seating

Your employees have to sit 9-5 in your office to complete their job. It’s the right of your employees to have proper seating so they can complete their job easily. Employees nowadays don’t have to stay fixated on their desk, and therefore you should give them the freedom to move throughout the day.

Having different seating options will allow your employees to work easily. For example, introducing beanbags to your workspace will make it cozy to work and relax.

Create a quiet area

Not every employee can find “peace” in the social setting of their workspace. During the hours when an employee wants to work in solitude, there should be a place where an employee can work in peace without getting distracted.

Having a quiet room in the corner of your office will help the employees get work done on time. There should be no restrictions on when an employee can enter the “quiet zone.”

Make rooms for collaboration

Working “alone” doesn’t always bring the best results. There should be ample places in your workspace where employees can collaborate in teams. Having space for collaboration will ensure that your employees can polish their skills and get work done on time.

The collaborative workspace should have proper seating and equipment, so collaboration gets easier.

Introduce vibrant colors

A dull workspace can never encourage an employee to perform their best. If your workspace isn’t painted properly and doesn’t have good elements, you should fix it by adding vibrant colors as soon as you can.

You should ask your employees what colors they would love to have in the workspace.

Add proper lighting

A workspace devoid of light won’t help your employees do their work properly. You should add lights to your workspace to ensure that everything is clear and your team members can focus on their work.

Start by adding lamps to the desks of your employees. If possible, you should also add focus lights to your workspace. Make sure you let the sunshine in so the workspace is bright, and your employees can keep track of the day.

Keep some plants

Having plants in your workspace can boost the morale of your employees. Small plants are easy to manage. Indoor plants also maintain oxygen levels in the air. Another good thing about small plants is that they can kill viruses too.

The cool thing about indoor plants is that they are easy to manage. If possible, you should place plants near the desks of all your employees.

Encourage conversations

Your employees should be more than welcome to have open conversations. The conversation culture will ensure that your employees can exchange ideas and collaborate on different projects.

Communication will also help your employees voice their concerns and give suggestions about improving the workspace.
