1. Ask around

It sounds pretty simple but conducting an internal survey to see where you could improve is the first step to create a space your staff will love to work within.

2. Make it comfy

So much more than aesthetics, careful attention to design and furniture choice can dramatically boots employee happiness. In short, creating a comfortable space incorporates more than a sturdy desk and supportive chair - it incorporates quality lighting, good ventilation and a quality cooling & heating system.

3. Add some greenery

It’s no new news that adding some plants to your office space has a range of positive impacts on those within it, but what are the positives you may be asking? Most importantly, plants are known to reduce stress, a study by UTS, NSW found that after adding plants to an office space there was a 38% reduction in fatigue and 37% fall in tension and anxiety. They also keep the air within your space cleaner, boost creativity, reduce sickness and absence rates as well as promote an overall increase in productivity. There’s a LOT of science behind plants in the workplace, although they may seem daunting it’s much easier than you think to keep indoor plants alive and thriving.
