Work environments that are designed to make employees feel connected, functional and emotionally fulfilled can increase their productivity. Spaces that employees rejuvenate in can lead to an overall improved disposition. One of the findings in the Steelcase Global Report is that employee engagement correlates directly with workplace satisfaction.
Globally, only 13 percent of workers are highly engaged and highly satisfied with their work experience. The most highly engaged workers have greater flexibility to make choices about where and how they work. They can move around the office easily, change postures and choose where they want to work in the office based on the tasks they need to do. This proves that designing to inspire productivity is beneficial to not just the employee, but the organization as well.
