The aim of any company is to optimise the working hours of its employees as much as possible, constantly striving to increase productivity in the office. Gradually, things are getting back to normal, and everyone is returning to their usual place of work, but even today, many companies still opt for teleworking.
In today’s article we would like to share some tips for you to increase your productivity and work performance, both in the office and if you continue to work from home.
7 tips to increase productivity
Here are 7 tips to increase productivity at work:
- Create a pleasant space: having a space that conveys calm, security and tranquillity is essential for workers to feel comfortable in the office. Many studies have shown that when employees feel happy at work, their productivity increases.
- Tidiness: it seems obvious, but we are sure you have visited offices where clutter is common. Maintaining visual and spatial order helps to avoid distractions and helps employees stay focused on their tasks, which will increase their productivity.
- Ergonomics in the office: this term is in vogue, and no wonder, because this concept refers to the science that studies how tools, environments and furniture should be designed in the workplace. As simple as keeping screens at an adequate distance or having comfortable chairs will increase work productivity.
- Minimise noise: One of the main causes of distraction at work is noise, both internal and external. Minimising the amount of noise will increase concentration and reduce stress on your team.
- Promote movement: a sedentary lifestyle is one of the main problems at work, and there are many people who believe that being in front of a screen for 8 hours at a time will increase their productivity, but the opposite is true. Getting up, walking around and taking a coffee, for example, will help to increase concentration at work. Therefore, it is interesting to have a space where workers can rest and disconnect for a few minutes.
- Flexible working hours: although this practice is becoming more and more common, it is not yet established in all companies. Providing an interval for coming in to work and another for leaving can allow everyone to adapt and organise themselves more easily. A clear example of this can be seen in people who have children and must take them to school or to the nursery, thus delaying their entry into the workplace.
- The power of colour: many studies have shown that the psychology of colour has a significant influence on increasing productivity. Cool colours are calming, while colours such as beige are ideal for workspaces.
Increasing work productivity in a business centre
Working in business centres is in fashion, and there are many companies that opt for this option, both to have their own offices and to reserve meeting rooms or any other space necessary to develop their business.
These spaces are designed to increase worker productivity, as they comply with all the advice given in the previous point. In addition, it is important to highlight that companies working from these spaces do not have to worry about anything, as the business centre itself has administration staff and everything necessary to carry out work activities.
