Labor productivity increased sharply thanks to office design
Reasonable design office, full of light, appropriate temperature, lots of trees will help increase productivity and efficiency of employees.
The “key” to improve the productivity of office workers depends on many factors. However, an equally important factor is the design of the employee’s workspace. Therefore, the design of the office needs to create a reasonable area, adequate light, air-conditioned temperature, space to reduce stress and improve labor productivity.
Some studies have proven, the health, emotions (happiness) and productivity of people working in the office are closely related to each other and related to the interior design of office space. Here are some important elements in office interior design.
Office design density
Depending on the size and interior design and function of the office, the proportions and standards of distribution of office space are different.
For leaders, the average area is 10 m2 to 18.5m2 and should choose a modern director’s desk. Employees with fixed positions are those who work at desks over 60% of the day, the average standard area is 4.5m2.
Employees with flexible positions with about 40% of the day on their desks, the average working area for them is 3.0m2. Employees do not need fixed seats such as customer service specialists, consultants… the average office space for them is 1.5m2 per person.
Light in office design
Lighting in office design and construction greatly determines the productivity of employees, thereby promoting the development of the company. Workplace lighting should be a harmonious combination of natural light sources and artificial light sources.
Accordingly, the natural light source will be taken advantage of by you through the window, the main door or the entire interior space in the office, in order to receive light into the room. The closer the light source is to nature, the better it is for the eyes. Therefore, you should arrange so that every place in the office has natural light. However, all natural light cannot enter all positions in the office space, so it needs to be combined with artificial light.
Artificial light solutions to improve optimal labor productivity today:
– Using a new type of fluorescent lamp such as T8 – 36W, 20% brighter than conventional fluorescent lamps and 130% brighter than 100W incandescent lamps. In addition, this type of lamp gives more realistic colors, closer to natural light.
– Lamps must have reflective lampshade to enhance brightness and uniformity of light distribution.
– Should arrange rows of lights parallel to the direction of view and door to limit glare reflections.
– Light of long light sources must be arranged directly from the ceiling.
– The number of lights arranged during office construction must ensure standard illumination. The power density of power consumption is less than 10W per square meter.
