Regardless of your business’s operation location, be it in an office or from home, one can’t deny how the environment can significantly affect your productivity. The overall environment, from the overall look and feel, to the lighting and even temperature and sound levels will indirectly affect your psyche and physical wellbeing, in turn, have a direct impact on your work performance.

To effectively utilise your space and enhance your productivity, read on to find out more.

Create Spaces for Private Work

Whether it be a room in your house dedicated for work or office space for rental, you need to ensure that the space is first and foremost conducive. For most businesses, having a solitary workspace is ideal. Productivity is enhanced when there are no interruptions, which will only distract you from your work. Ensure the private working spaces are reasonably far from the other activities or have temporary partitioning so that you can significantly reduce the noise levels.

That said, it is the direct opposite if you work in the creative department where an office with an open space concept serves better than one that has rows of cubicles. It may be more efficient to remove any physical boundaries so that discussions and communication can easily be initiated.

Thus, understand the type of space that will serve your business needs. If there needs to be silence and communication amongst co-workers during office hours is not necessary, an office with an open concept may not be the office for you.

Office Overall  Look and Feel

The look of the interior of your workspace, whether it’s at home or in an office somewhere in downtown Singapore, will undoubtedly affect your output. A cluttered environment negatively affects your ability to concentrate, which will then reduce your productivity. A disorganised workspace, often than not, will have you spend time trying to locate a specific material when you could use that same time to finish up a task or two.

So, start reorganising the office by removing all kinds of clutter. Cultivate the habit of organising your works by categories so that you can easily retrieve them whenever.

If you are working from a spare room at home, getting rid of clutter or organising the workspace could be slightly more difficult as your personal and work belongings can reside in the same space. Consider moving to affordable office space for startups in Singapore. Sure, you will have to start paying rent for the office, but your productivity will soar because of it.

Introduce Nature and Sunlight

Whether you work in an office or at home, a little bit of nature in the workspace goes a long way to boost productivity. When you add potted plants or fresh flowers to the décor, it does more than just alleviate the look of the space. Studies have shown that not only do plants purify the air, but it also reduces stress levels in the workplace.

On that note, pick out a space that has big windows as well. The plants aren’t the only ones that will thank you for it, so will your brain! Studies have shown that ‘sunshine vitamin’ has a crucial role in a person’s overall health and energy levels. Getting an adequate amount of sunlight will boost your energy and concentration. There is a reason for seasonal depression, after all!

Change the Furniture and Layout

When planning to reorganise the office, the first activity that often comes to mind is the rearrangement of the office layout and changing the furniture.

Have a look at the kind of furniture at the office. Are your office chairs ergonomically designed? Lest your office workers will have back issues in the near future. Choosing excellent furniture is not only good for your employees, but they also secure the first impression if your client comes down for a meeting.
