How To Improve Your
Work Environment
From the lighting in your office to the style of desk you work at, your
environment can help or hinder your productivity. Let’s take a look
at some ways you can adjust your workspace to suit your needs and
improve your efficiency at work.
Add natural light
Studies have found a strong link between the amount of natural
daylight employees are exposed to throughout the day and the quality
of their sleep. Lack of natural light in the office can increase sleep
disturbances, reduce sleep quality and duration, and even affect our
overall quality of life.
Other research has found increasing the amount of natural light
employees are exposed to can increase productivity, reduce
absenteeism and turnover, and decrease headaches and eyestrain—two
of the most common health-related office worker complaints.
