6 office problems can reduce employees’ productivity


Offices should be designed so that employees can work comfortably and efficiently. Innovative design offices can reflect the company's modern approach and provide an additional competitive advantage in the battle for highly qualified job seekers.

However, bad office design can incredibly reduce employees’ productivity and mood, so here's what you should think about to avoid falling into that trap, minor but having a significant impact on their work-life.

1. Dense Seating

About 27% of employees are unhappy with the tight seating. They feel uncomfortable due to the lack of space in both the desk and chair. Each employer faces a dilemma of which office to build – comfortable or inexpensive. The balance is quite achievable with proper zoning of open workspaces. Relaxation rooms, games rooms, and cozy meeting rooms can improve the atmosphere in the office.

2. Distractions and Noise

Office noise distracted 24% of employees from their work. Among its reasons are a large number of workplaces in one room, telephone conversations of colleagues, and regular visits from guests that distract from work. Several effective factors can help you in dealing with noise problems. Applying a partition between workplaces or an acoustic suspended ceiling prevents sound from reflecting and shielding, spreading throughout the open space. Employers should create a good layout and navigation, which minimizes the flow of visitors in the work areas.

3. Lack of Meeting Rooms

An insufficient number of meeting rooms affects productivity. It will make it difficult to schedule appointments and create an inappropriate moment for organizing meetings at their workplace, interfering with others. Mobile partitioning that divides or combines the space in a short possible time would be an excellent idea for this problem.

4. Poor Lighting

Employees also mentioned the problem of poor lighting. Employees noted the insufficient power of the lamps. Individual survey participants complained about the lack of natural light in their workplace. To solve this problem, it’s worth redeveloping so that the work areas are located in the most illuminated places.

5. Uncomfortable Furniture

13% of employees get in the way of an uncomfortable chair or table. Most people noted poor ergonomics, small size and low-quality furniture. At the same time, companies often forget that the modern office furniture market is huge and in order to find the most comfortable chairs, you can even arrange a test drive, in which employees will choose the option that suits them

6. No Cafeteria

The absence of a drinking coffee area at work or warming up a lunch brought from home can affect productivity. According to employees, the lack of a coffee point or kitchen forces them to buy expensive and often tasteless business lunches. Hence, take contractor professional help and create a relaxed atmosphere for contacts between employees. It’ll positively affect the mood of the team.


We hope that by the information above, you will be able to create an ideal workplace for your employees. Thank you for taking the time to read this!
