Boost Productivity by Allowing Employees to Feel at Home at Their Desks

摘要

New research suggests that work productivity and morale could be improved by giving employees the freedom to develop the look and feel of their own office environment. The study showed that in comparison to colleagues working in a lean environment (i.e. a spare office with cleared desks), people empowered to develop aspects of their own workspace showed average increases of 27 percent in feelings of well-being and 32 percent in productivity.
