 Office design and increasing productivity, even small changes can improve productivity says Bevlan

 

High quality providers of bespoke office furniture designs and solutions Bevlan respond to news that changes in layout of office space can prove dynamic to employees, boosting their job satisfaction.

 

In a report released in late sept 2014 by the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) it was confirmed that office design can actually have a significant impact on staff productivity and job fulfilment; reducing stress, absences and negativity amongst companies and greatly boosting companywide morale and output.

 

As part of their larger goal, the report, entitled ‘Health, wellbeing and productivity in offices:  The next chapter for green buildings’, focused on factors like lighting and air quality in addition to choice of furniture and overall layout, all of which can play an important role in employee satisfaction, health and job performance. A simple toolkit is presented by the report that can be used by companies to measure these factors allowing employers to make adjustments and more informed decisions on financial matters where improvements can be made.

 

Romilly Madew, the chief executive of Green Building Council Australia (GBCA) said: “Operating from sustainable office space is increasingly recognised as a strategic business decision that is not only environmentally and economically-sound, but it can also enhance a company's biggest asset and expense – its people,” following this by adding: “This report will help Australian companies join the dots between workplace productivity and the workplace itself.”

 

Blackburn-based office interior designers Bevlan regularly react to relevant news stories from within their industry. A spokesperson for the company believes that better office layouts and closer attention to lighting and use of space is beneficial to productivity and job satisfaction of workers at all levels:
