5 WAYS TO DESIGN YOUR OFFICE TO KICK OUT WORK STRESS | OFFICE CHAIR SINGAPORE PART Part 1

Did you know that part and parcel of combating workplace stress is how you design your office space?

A poorly designed office is going to contribute towards stress levels, make life difficult, and cause morale to drop. When morale drops, productivity quickly follows, which affects profitability directly.So, how can you ensure that your office design doesn’t contribute to a work stress issue?It really comes down to understanding what is work stress and knowing how employees want to work. Everyone has the right to be comfortable and supported during their time in the office. Whilst an office should certainly mirror brand identity, it needs to be something which suits employees first and foremost.As you can see, it’s a major problem which needs to be addressed!How to monitor stress levels in the workplace has long been a subject of debate, but talking to those at their office desks is the single best way to ascertain the state of play. If that’s not possible, or if employees feel a little unsure about speaking openly about their feelings and stress levels, you could introduce a confidential staff survey and find out information that way.In terms of office design however, look at the following suggestions to help reduce stress levels in the your workplace and make your office a far happier and healthier place to be.THINK ABOUT WORKING ZONESIf your office is full of different people doing different tasks, there is bound to be a large amount of noise going on. You’ll have people at stand height tables, discussing issues and collaborating, not too far away from people who are trying to concentrate at their desks. The fact these people can’t focus is a source of stress in itself, but those who are collaborating might feel under pressure to rein in their enthusiasm for a task, which affects productivity.A good answer here is to implement working zones. This means you have a collaborative or team working area, where staff are able to discuss freely, perhaps with high stools and white boards for brainstorming. You will then have a quiet working zone, where staff can sit and concentrate, maybe with booths or acoustic panels to soak up the noise from other areas outside.Come to Ardent Furniture and you’ll find a variety of different Office Chairs Singapore to meet your needs.
