Maintaining your health is important, and being that
you probably spend the majority of your waking
hours at work, it’s important to maintain a healthy
office environment.
For many employers, healthcare costs represent the
fastest-growing and second-largest operating
expense after employee wages.
7 Ways A Well Designed Office Keeps
Employees Healthy
Following the strategies given below can help
businesses create employee-centric and healthy work
environments that increases productivity, happiness,
and retention.
1. Invest In A Standing Desk
2. Add A Potted Plant To Your Desk
3. Stop Eating At Your Desk
4. Workout During Free Hours
5. Adjust Your Lighting
6. Paint Your Walls Green
Invest In A Standing Desk
A standing desk will get you out of the seat reducing
the side effects that are associated with a sitting
desk.
But being on your feet all day can lead to a lot of
problems as well, so plan for a convenient setup and
use a chair when needed.
Add A Potted Plant To Your Desk
Smallest things will help to a greater extent.
Bringing nature into your office can be a great way to
inspire creativity and a feeling of wellness. Opt for
green, leafy plants that may increase the air quality.
Stop Eating At Your Desk
Constructing a pantry is essential in an office. Sitting
away from the desk for lunch will help in resetting
your brain for afternoon productivity. It will also give
a chance to interact with colleagues.
Workout During Free Hours
Constructing a workout space in the office will be
very rejuvenating. Even if you can't fit in a full
workout over your lunch break, you can still do some
simple stretches and strength moves right in your
office.
Keeping small workout props, like hand weights or
resistance bands, within eyesight can encourage you
to take exercise breaks throughout the day.
Adjust Your Lighting
Research says employees with windows in the
workplace received 173 percent more white light
exposure during work hours and slept an average of
46 minutes more per night than employees who did
not have the natural light exposure in the workplace.
There also was a trend for workers in offices with
windows to have more physical activity than those
without windows.
Paint Your Walls Green
Green is a mix of blue and yellow – so it combines
the cheerfulness of yellow with the calming effects of
blue.
Green is so heavily associated with nature, it is often
described as a refreshing and tranquil colour and it is
believed to help relieve stress.
