B EHAVIOR , A PPEARANCE AND C OMFORTABILITY
The complete atmosphere of an
office or workplace correlates with
employee productivity. This inclu-
des three large areas: behavior,
appearance and comfortability.
When it comes to workplace beha-
vior, all employees come into play.
It's not only about how the manager
treats his or her staff, it's also about
the relationships of individual wor-
kers, as well as departments.
The appearance of the office ties
into the design of the office. Furni-
ture placement, lighting, and desk
clutter are a few concerns that
should rank high on the priority list
of creating a productive atmosphe-
re.
Behavior
A work environment should be a mature
setting, one where each and every emplo-
yee is respectful of one another. While res-
pecting one another, employees should
make it a point to get to know their cowor-
kers. Participating in team events and team
building activities is a beneficial way to ac-
complish this. After getting to know one
another on not only a larger work level, but
on a larger personal level, employees are
encouraged to communicate more and un-
derstand how each person does their job.
Employees are also more productive when
they're aware of their value and feel appre-
ciated, which is why it's important for mana-
gers to express that. Recognition Source
states, "As working the same job, day in
and day out, can grow tedious over a long
span of time, many corporations use corpo-
rate awards to let their employees know
that they are valued and provide them with
an incentive to deliver top performance at
all times."
Appearance
As mentioned above, furniture pla-
cement, lighting, and desk clutter fall
into office appearance. The overall
set-up of an office has the ability to
impact the way workers act, feel and
engage in the workplace. Someti-
mes this depends on the type of
work that's being done within the
office, and sometimes it depends on
what the employees prefer. An exa-
mple is the classic cubicles verse
open desks.
While some workers prefer an open
atmosphere with easy communica-
tion, some enjoy having a closed,
personal space with zero distraction.
But, no matter if there's cubicles or
open desks, proper lighting is nee-
ded. Depending on whether you’re
working with computers, reading, or
doing some other task.
