5 Factors for Shared Office Satisfaction

Shared office spaces and open office layouts are fast becoming the norm for many businesses across America. A departure from the traditional, cubicle layout, it has become a valuable help for many companies. Metro lists the factors that lead to satisfaction in this more modern setup.

1. Comfort
Different things go into the concept of human comfort. When it comes to FlexDesk in our Farragut West office space rentals in Washington DC, space is a big part of this. More specifically, this gives employees enough room to move around and even stretch their legs. After all, it is helps them avoid feeling cramped.

2. Cleanliness
Intrinsically tied to comfort, keeping your office space habitable and clutter-free is essential because it also ensures that your people stay healthy. Even a thin layer of dust can agitate the sinuses and even cause distress. Cleanliness should be a priority. Aesthetically, it also has to do with the appearance of your office space. Cleaner areas will keep people going back.

3. Lighting
If you operate day offices in our Farragut, Washington DC location, then you will benefit from maximizing on natural lighting. No amount of artificial lighting in the world can provide the same comfort brought about by natural light. It is also a great source of vitamin D, along with being a great stress reliever and a productivity booster.

4. Privacy
You can designate areas beyond the working floors where employees can escape and have time for themselves. You can also set up lockers where they can stow their valuables. This is an important factor because people will always crave places for themselves.

5. Air-Quality
Many factors can adversely affect air quality: chemicals exuded by older furnishings, pollutants, poor ventilation, and circulation, among others. These tend to be insidious in their effects and become noticeable only when people start falling sick. By taking care of the air in your workplace, you will find that everyone is fitter, happier, and more productive.
