As professionals, many of us spend more time working and in our workplace than anywhere else. Up until last year, when we shifted to working remotely, we often logged in 60+ hours in the office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With the prospect of a return to normalcy, many professionals are looking forward to a near-future return to the office. This is why finding a way to make your workplace a dream environment is one of the smartest ways to attract talent, ignite creativity, and inspire innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are 5 ways to get the office environment that is a great place to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The first step for a creative environment is having the<\/span> right people<\/span><\/a>. Hiring a great team is essential for building your company and achieving your vision.<\/span><\/p>\n While attracting talented professionals is key, many experts advise looking for the overall mix of personalities. If one person is extremely experienced yet egotistical, they could do more harm than good for the group dynamic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve been social distancing, working remotely, and getting by with zoom meetings. It\u2019s no wonder that we\u2019re looking forward to things, which previously seemed like nothing special. Talking with a colleague over coffee. Meeting in the hallway to share an idea. Connecting up after work for drinks, a walk, and a catch-up.<\/span><\/p>\n All these ways of socializing have been severely curtailed. If you want to make your office a happy place, encourage your staff to make up for lost time. You\u2019ll find that socializing is one of the best ways to boost team morale.<\/span><\/p>\n Creativity is kind of like a seed. You can have the best seeds, but they still need water, soil, fertilizing, and nurturing. While creativity is a distinct advantage, just about every employee thrives with reward and recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n Some of these rewards are specific to the employee. These could include direct appreciation, job promotions, and salary raises.<\/span><\/p>\n Other rewards are more general to the overall creative environments.<\/span><\/p>\n This is where you\u2019ll see office environments that are more reminiscent of a spa or boutique hotel. These settings often include features such as:<\/span><\/p>\n The kitchen area should include options for coffee drinkers, tea drinkers, and water drinkers. Many office kitchens have coffee makers that don\u2019t even require knowledge of<\/span> how to make coffee<\/span><\/a>. The maker is simple, easy, and fun to use.<\/span><\/p>\n The relaxation zone may include comfortable chairs, couches, and hammocks. Some offices have outdoor spaces to encourage employees to take a pause and rejuvenate in nature.<\/span><\/p>\n The refreshing zone can be a bathroom with lotions, aromatherapy sprays, and face wash. Many offices ask their employees to suggest popular products.<\/span><\/p>\n In creating space, architects often talk about flow. What does the space invite people to do, see, feel, and sense? This is influenced by your choices of color, furnishings, surfaces, and layout.<\/span><\/p>\nHire a Great Team<\/b><\/h2>\n
