Employees should feel safe, inspired and productive in their work environment.
Productivity loss and employee turnover are among the highest expenditures for businesses. According to Employee Benefit News (EBN), losing a single position to turnover costs employers at least 33% of a worker's annual salary to hire a replacement, with the overall costs at 90% or higher.
People prefer a well-designed, comfortable workplace that promotes health and well-being. Access to natural light, ease of mobility, incorporating nature into the office and offering a variety of environments to work is important. All of these factors reduce stress, promote creativity, and enhance the overall mood.
Happy, Engaged Workers = Reduced Turnover = Increased Bottom Line
Every element of a space - the shapes, materials, colors, the type and arrangement of furniture - is encumbered with messages. They cue behavior, suggesting ways to work and experience the space, which ultimately determines whether people are productive, inspired and gratified.
