#2 Make Private Spaces Among a Spacious Concept
Nobody like to be “monitored” by the boss, manager or supervisor. Office workstations that are too open will often lead to less productivity at work. Therefore, make your workstation private spaces for your individual employee. While doing so, keep a spacious concept for better movement among your operations. In this way, your employee will feel more confident in his or her private space while they can roam free in the spacious office environment at the same time.
#3 Introduce “Breaks” Points
Your employees need to take a break occasionally during the duration of his or her daily work. It is best to introduce breaks points or recreation areas in some parts of your office space. Put some natural plants or install a small little koi fountain in a corner of your office; or you can also design a rooftop garden facilities for the office if it has ample space for it. These break points can help your employees to feel relaxed during “stressful” moments and then increase their productivity and working speed when they go back to their work.
