Adding a little fun to your office design, like a game room, never hurt anyone.
When browsing through portfolios of newly remodeled or renovated office buildings, you might notice some interesting choices in break rooms. Some modern office design includes a room or space meant to give employees a fun experience to take advantage of on their breaks. More and more businesses are requesting office construction projects from contractors that include arcades, gyms, or workout floors. For someone used to the traditional office setting of only a small coffee pot, water cooler, and maybe a couch in the break room, this might seem rather shocking and a poor investment. However, there is evidence to suggest that a fun office design doesn’t distract from work. It actually helps increase it. Here is how an office design with extra rooms for gyms, arcades, or other fun spaces can help improve your company in multiple ways.
It Attracts New Talent
More and more companies desire employees from younger generations due to their natural knack for technology and fresh ideas. However, most traditional office layouts just don’t cut it for younger employees, as seen by high rates of turnaround. Providing a fun office design and extra constructed rooms made just for burning off some stress can really help to attract employees to stay at your company for much longer. It shows that you are willing to care about their generation as a person when many younger employees don’t feel as appreciated.
It Helps With Creative Thinking
In many industries, a creative team is a requirement for coming up with new ideas to emphasize the brand. The best ideas come to people usually when they are performing fun and memorable action, not when staring at campaign plans all day long. An office design that emphasizes a fun experience can actually accelerate that “Eureka!” moment that companies crave and promotes original thinking and ideas.
Fun Office Design Improves Productivity
When an employee feels valued and appreciated by the company they work for, they will tend to perform better. This makes them feel that it is worth the effort to put in more work. Employee satisfaction is sometimes easily missed when a company does not provide adequately for its employees. Providing a fun office design space to use when needed may help improve their company loyalty and fulfillment. A fun office design also provides a place for employees to bond with each other, which can help improve communication inside the workplace as well.
