The physical environment of an office plays a significant role in influencing the productivity and happiness of employees. No one likes to work in a dull and dreary office space.

A happy and positive environment, on the other hand, can help increase employee motivation and engagement, leading to better work outcomes.

BusinessLodge in Bury, winners of the FlexSA for customer service and supporters of the hashtag #LoveWhereYouWork are firm believers that providing a flexible, modern environment with a real sense of community is the way forward for keeping employees happy within their work space.

Here are some ways to create a happy working physical environment in the office:

Let in Natural Light

Natural light is essential to human health and wellbeing. It helps regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle, enhances mood, and improves overall health.

Add Greenery

Adding plants to the office can help create a more relaxed and calm environment. Plants can help reduce stress, increase productivity, and clean the air.

Use Colours Wisely

Colours can influence mood and behavior. Use colours that promote positivity and happiness, such as yellow, green, blue, and orange.

Keep the Office Clean and Organised

A cluttered and dirty office can be stressful and demotivating. Tidy desk, tidy mind.

Provide Breakout Spaces

Breakout spaces are essential for employees to take a break from work and relax. Consider creating some comfortable breakout spaces where employees can take a break, eat lunch, or socialise with colleagues.

By implementing these tips, you can create a positive and happy work environment that fosters employee productivity, engagement, and wellbeing.

Charlotte W, recently left a testimonial on thebestofbury website to highlight just how important it is to have a positive environment for where you work,  

"I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to take a moment to thank the staff at the Business Lodge. We began leasing an office in Europa House last year.. myself and a colleague loved the park from the moment we went to view the offices. The whole place has a warm feeling about it... like a small community, and I feel this is down to the staff! Nothing is too much trouble, they go above and beyond to assist you. I have never walked past reception to a gloomy face, there is always a smiley "Morning!". It really does make a difference to your day. On site facilities are fantastic, really reasonably priced cafe with plenty of options, a gym, chill out area... clean and professional meeting rooms with options for catering/tea & coffee. We usually miss the small events that are held in the reception area, due to our working patterns.. but they provide some lovely little touches to your working day and there are a network of businesses. It is an all round great place to work, with a chilled out but professional vibe. Thank you!!" 

In addition to their facilities, they offer a community-driven approach that fosters a professional and affable setting. Their clients can take advantage of an on-site gym, catering services, and relaxation areas, all within a secure and plentiful parking space.
