Space

Keep your office clean and tidy. There is no worst thing than working in a congested space, for this can create a lot of stress not only on a personal level, but can cause break outs between coworkers. Either hire agency that will clean your office rooms, or organize your employees to keep their close surroundings neat.  Also, bear in mind that jackets, coats, bags etc., need to have a separate room for storing, or at least a common place to hang them out. An open space urges an open mind, meaning that both you and your employees can only benefit from this type of organization.

Furniture

Avoid using furniture of the same color for all employees. This will sooner or later create “gray” picture in the office, causing monotony, and the effectiveness overall will drop. Keep the office fresh, by using unconventional colors and designs. In a recent conversion with highly-rated suppliers of office workstations, I found out that the offices which were unusual, had steadily grown more and more effective. By keeping changes in the office constant, creativity of their employees remained to grow and develop. Of course, this kind of attitude is highly advisable.

Eventually, it is up to you to decide on which approach you will make up your mind. Important thing to keep in mind is that happiness of your employees is crucial. As long as they are working without added pressure, your company will grow and develop. And this is something every company is craving for, is it not?
