In an experience economy, it’s hard to ignore the role the physical and digital environment play in the employee’s productivity. Like your customers your employees too attribute value to tangible and intangible benefits that the employer or company provides.
Cafeteria food, indoor entertainment, flexible work hours, work life balance, leisure zones to de-stress have all become integral to the employee’s experience.
With better workplaces you just create a better atmosphere which drives employee loyalty, motivation, and positivity. Even something as basic as a comfortable chair can have profound effects on your employees mood and productivity. An open space where your employees can access for a quick breather also puts them at ease. Workplaces must encourage people to converse, ideate and share and for that a bright, spacious and well-ventilated office is ideal.
The physical amenities aside the digital environment at the workplace has become deeply essential. Work cultures are becoming highly digital and your workplace needs to be able to facilitate that need. It’s said that 50% of non-productive time is spent accessing information and so tech-enabled solutions like high-speed internet, IOT technology, cloud computing need to be top-notch. The quality of non-productive influences productivity heavily.
One of the biggest benefits of upgrading workplaces that uphold the employees’ interests is shared learning. Collaborative working practices have high success rates. Why? Well, they help build strong teams that are adaptable, inclusive and efficient. With teams like these the company can tide through any kind of business environment.
