In today’s fast-paced world, the environment in which we work plays a pivotal role in shaping employee experience, productivity, and overall well-being. Reflecting on the recent Leesman Survey, it is clear that the physical workspace is more than just a backdrop for daily tasks—it is a crucial component that can either hinder or enhance performance and satisfaction.
Place Play in Employee Experience
The Leesman Survey highlighted the significance of ‘place’ in the employee experience. A well-designed workspace goes beyond aesthetics; it must cater to the functional needs of employees, providing them with the tools and spaces they need to perform at their best. An environment that promotes comfort, creative minds, and collaboration can significantly boost morale and productivity.
Hybrid Model is Here to Stay
The hybrid work model offers flexibility and autonomy, allowing employees to work from multiple locations. The challenge is ensuring the workplace experience is compelling enough to draw employees back to the office. Companies must offer an environment that surpasses what employees have at home, providing access to necessary resources and building a sense of pride and connection.
Creating a Thriving Space
An intentional and purposeful approach to workspace design can drive productivity and outcomes. Employees thrive in environments where they feel their work is meaningful and impactful. A well-curated workspace can help align individual efforts with the company’s mission, encouraging employees to see beyond their day-to-day tasks and contribute to greater organisational goals.
The Leesman Survey reminds us of the importance of environment in shaping behaviours and outcomes. As we evolve our environment changes too. Let’s be intentional in creating places that support, inspire, and drive us towards a brighter future.
The environment in which we engage in critical to everything we do. I find myself now being hyper intentional as to where I work – If I want to be creative I work well in business café or workplace first thing in the morning, If I want to be present for my team meeting I need a quite space where I can listen and hold space. I plan my time and setup my days to thrive”
