Design for productivity in the home office
January 10th, 2008 | by Adam Lucking
Is your home office grey and boring? Do you hate the idea of going into the office? Does the office stop your creativity?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then the time has come to look at office design. Of course this costs money but a few ideas from Choregus can help you boost your productivity.
Your Brand: Having brilliant business cards but out of date furniture and equipment will have a negative effect on your business.
Noise: A noisy environment at work can have a negative impact on productivity. Experts say that high stress levels come from office noise. It is important to pinpoint office noise and act fast. For example by moving office equipment away from walls will reduce the noise.
The Outdoors: As humans we need to experience nature for the best physiological and psychological functioning. Moving the office nearer a window would be a start. Other options include nature photos and plants to provide fresh oxygen.
Barriers: It is essential to create a barrier between work and home. The temptation for a television break can result in a loss of productivity. It is best therefore to work in a separate room with door to separate your business life and your personal life.
