The right amenities in the workplace maximise wellness, encourage both innovation and focus-driven work.
As well as being cool, hip and up-to-date, modern amenities can also excel optimisation in the workplace, keeping your staff inspired and focused. Here’s some of the top five amenities we’ve decided are the most effective.
Natural Light
Nobody likes the feeling of being cooped up and stuck within four walls. Natural light helps a space feel less claustrophobic and more refreshing and therefore inspiring. Tall sash windows like 104 Watergate Street are often desired as, not only do they offer a beautiful view of Chester’s Racecourse, but they help the space feel bigger, aiding a wider lens for productivity in the workplace.
Greenery
Bring the outside in. Like natural light, indoor plants help a space feel wider and refreshed. They also aid in purifying the air, making a space feel more awake and renewed. Plants also add a bit of colour to a workspace, helping to brighten it up and make it less monotonous. Overall, they encourage wellbeing and focus. Studies show that indoor plants improve concentration significantly; especially if you’re working on a computer all day – it’s shown that you’ll be more productive when plants are nearby.
Tea, coffee, food
A kitchen is desirable so you can feel as comfortable as you can in the workplace. Having the facilities there for a quick tea break or a little snack goes a long way in maintaining focus. And no-one works well on an empty stomach.
Multipurpose collaboration areas
Having a bigger space available for team building exercises or group projects is always a plus. It offers bigger groups of people the space to work together, brainstorm or excel properly at collaborative projects. It gives people the opportunity for better communication and encourages interaction between coworkers. In addition, it’s a great space for general socialisation on breaks; a place where people can unwind and relax.
Bathrooms
People often take good bathrooms for granted. These areas should maximise privacy and safety and a great way to achieve this is implementing diving walls, acoustic privacy and proper ventilation. It’s also a great idea to listen out for any specific requests your employers may have so as to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
