With staff being present within the office for the majority of the week, workplaces should be aware of how the atmosphere produced may affect them on a day-to-day basis. Whether it's installing the latest technology to help them better go about their work, more comfortable seating to make them feel at ease or making time and creating facilities for them to take a break from the stresses of work; workplaces can implement ideas to help to improve the experience of their employees.
This is why more businesses than ever are placing more thought into giving over areas of their office design in London to facilities such as breakout rooms and larger kitchens. Designed to encourage staff to take breaks, reflect and refresh, they work as an ideal antidote to the stress caused by constant work. By taking stock and eating healthily, employees can go back to work feeling better and more focused – ultimately helping the business in its aims.
Another example of what businesses can do to positively impact their staff is by encouraging them to eat healthily. In the hustle-and-bustle of the business world, many workers will forgo wholesome and/or healthy meals such as breakfast and lunch, simply because they are 'too busy' in doing their work. This is never a good sign. Firstly, not eating wholesome food will mean that less energy will be going into their bodies. This will result in tiredness, bad moods, stress and a downturn in productivity and the quality of work produced. Secondly, for pure health reasons, replacing meal times with the odd snack could lead to negative physical health effects, such as weight gain, fatigue and even long-term illnesses, such as diabetes.
Encouraging healthy eating in your office design in London will also play into creating a positive culture in the workplace. By ensuring that everyone is able to take breaks in bespoke facilities will create a sense of 'togetherness' – that everyone is valued by the business and this in turn, will play to their commitment to producing great work for the company.
Working hand-in-hand with a modern, bespoke office design in London, healthy employees will mean happy employees. When they're happy at work, they'll enjoy their tasks and this will be reflected in the work they produce. So you can see why healthy eating is a vital aspect of your office culture. With that in mind, here are some tips on encouraging employees to healthily:
