Consider this statistic:

Unmotivated employees account for a loss of $450 to $550 billion each year in the United States.

Clearly, a lack of motivation severely impacts employee productivity and organizational profitability. The question that begs to be asked then is, “what can be done to combat this?”

In a recent study conducted by CBI Group, an office interior solutions provider, they found an overwhelming correlation between office design and productivity and discovered:

  • Improved lighting and ventilation resulted in a decrease in absenteeism, an increase in employee satisfaction by 24 percent, and up to a 16 percent increase in productivity
  • A desk with multiple computer screens increased productivity up to 50 percent

These findings point to the need for organizations to reconsider their office design to ensure optimal productivity. Here are tips to improve your office design and ultimately your employees’ output.
