If you believe your office productivity is reaching lower levels, some office revamping may be in order. When business owners find office productivity lacking, they typically assume there is something wrong with their staff, which might not be the case. There have been several studies that show how the furniture and lighting within an office space can affect overall office productivity.
Office Productivity Statistics
- Those working in an office with a window spend about 15% more time on task compared to those without a window.
- Multiple computer screens are known to increase office productivity anywhere from 9 to 50%.
- An office that had proper lighting and ventilation is known to have increased office productivity by 16%.
- 4.3 hours are wasted each week by the average employee as they search for papers and other information.
Ways to Boost Office Productivity
- Place desks in areas that have the most natural light available. This will eliminate the need for overhead lighting, which is known to cause headaches.
- Choose ergonomic chairs over normal office chairs. Ergonomic chairs are known to increase office productivity and providing health benefits as well.
- Use file cabinets to help employees stay more organized with their papers.
- Realize that some office areas require different furniture than others. Determine what your employees need before ordering their desks and other furniture. Some employees require larger desks than others while some may need larger file cabinets than others.
- Try to incorporate artwork throughout the office to help increase office productivity as well as office creativity.
