Working in an office is something many people do each day. And a large percentage of them spend most of their time tied to one chair. While not much can be done if employees must spend the day at the office, it can at least be comfortable. Some employees may even come up with comfort ideas for the workplace. As the owner, it is worth listening to their suggestions, and implementing the ones that make the most sense. Here are a few examples:
Blankets for Winter
No matter how cold it is in the office in winter, there will always be one person in the room who refuses to turn up the heat. If you want to avoid freezing the rest of your staff, suggest they bring in small blankets or wraps for extra warmth. They can cover their legs to keep them nice and toasty and it will allow them to work efficiently.
A Fan for Summer
Most employees simply cannot work under extreme weather conditions, especially heat related. In order to keep the office cool, it is a great idea to bring in tall fans which will blow cold air through the room. This is a great option especially for those who don’t have windows in the office!
A Water Filter and Cooler
One of the most important commodities you can give to workers in an office environment is a good water supply. Make sure you have a good water cooler filtration system in the kitchen of the office so that everyone has access to the best quality water possible. It is much better for everyone’s health and it will be a refreshing drink to keep people working happily throughout the day.
A Vending Machine
Food, glorious food. No matter how much you want to be good and keep to your diet, sometimes you just need a chocolate bar to lift your energy and spirits. Vending machines can not only be great for everyone who works in the office, but it will also give you extra income from the profits which come from the payments people make.
A Quiet Space
Every workplace should have either an outdoor area or a quiet place where people can come when they need a break. Work is hard, and many people suffer from stress-related illnesses and anxieties which don’t get treated properly. As an employer, you can provide a wonderful place where people can come to sit quietly and recalibrate. It’s an office comfort which will suit everyone and it will increase your overall employee morale.
There are many things we can do to make the office a better place to work. Try some of these today and you will notice a big difference in the happiness and efficiency of your workers.
