As much as we try to ignore the fact that the environment in which we work has a strong impact on our mood and productivity, we are being shown more and more often how true this is.
If, for example, we work in dark, low-temperature spaces every day, our chances of being depressed are very high. Inevitably, both productivity and motivation decrease. The more comfortable we feel in the workplace, the happier we are, the more we appreciate our work and the better our performance.
The light
Natural light cannot be replaced one hundred percent by anything – but artificial light, if it is part of an intelligent environmental design, can compensate to a great extent. Dark workspaces have a negative effect on us due to lower serotonin levels. Also, our presence in these spaces can cause deficiencies of vitamin D, a vitamin that prevents many diseases.
Temperature
Temperature is another factor with a strong influence on our productivity. Usually, in large workspaces, it is almost impossible for all employees to agree on the same temperature. Despite this, it has been found that the ideal temperature is around 23 degrees Celsius and OSHA recommends that the temperature be kept somewhere between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius.
colors
Most of the time, the owners of the offices choose to paint the walls of the spaces in neutral colors, in order to make the subsequent arrangement easier. Such colors can induce negative emotions, followed by effects such as lack of motivation. Involuntarily, we are eager to be surrounded by color, plants, to improve or maintain a positive state.
sounds
Most of us prefer to work in a less noisy environment but there are also some who want a more effervescent space. Maintaining such a balance between the two categories of preferences can be done with the help of workspace delimitations and noise-canceling equipment.
All these factors, together with a positive organizational culture are decisive elements in the optimal functioning of an organization. Thus, the Work Retreat solution, by Temporary Working & Living, has a positive contribution in the productivity of those who experience it. Modern spaces are demarcated to support both focused work and brainstorming sessions and enjoy the presence of natural light and attractive colors. It also offers access to all the facilities you enjoy in the classic office: office management services, furniture and spaces for co-work or meetings and much more.
We are waiting for you to experience Work Retreat, which supports remote work away from crowded urban centers to the smaller cities of the country. Work Retreat is a Digital Nation project.
