Increase your potential by focusing on employee wellness.

Create a space that encourages health, wellness, and productivity. Design trends that support employee wellness include:

• Proper lighting (natural or artificial) can elevate moods while making the workspace ambiance cheerful.

• Biophilic design brings nature inside to reduce stress, improve cognitive function, creativity and improve well-being.

• Sit-stand desks and ergonomic seating.

• Activity-based working encourages employees to move around to various work settings suited for their tasks at hand.

• Telephone booths and quiet zones can help employees focus in an open office environment.

• Make environmentally friendly design choices to help reduce the environmental impact of the workplace and improve indoor air quality.

• Implement measures to create a safe and secure environment.

 

Become more resilient with adaptable and flexible design solutions.

Companies can increase potential and maximize space efficiency with an open-plan office with neighborhoods.

• This allows for a mix of formal and informal work settings suited for focus or collaborative work and will empower employees to work from anywhere.

• Open visibility within the office and tech integration enables colleagues to collaborate more seamlessly and virtually.

• Absence of fixed seating and use of movable furniture also allows offices to adapt easily to changes.

• Implement the right technology solutions to improve communication, collaboration and overall efficiency.

 

Enhance your culture with an engaging environment to connect with your employees and customers.

• Create destinations to unite employees, build community and encourage collaboration and spontaneous interactions.

• Incorporate the company’s brand into the workplace to create a sense of identity and pride among employees.

• Create a diverse and inclusive workplace that infuses local identity.
