Leesman measures employee experience via the Leesman Index – a global business intelligence tool that captures employee feedback on how effectively the workplace supports their work. Last year, the company independently assessed the workplace experience of over 150.000 employees across 971 workplaces worldwide. The  results of the survey  showed that many employers routinely overlook huge opportunities to improve their employees’ work experience. The toll that this can take on the health, well-being, and efficiency is greatly underestimated. According to Leesman, the strategies behind the world’s best workplaces differ among clients, regions, and employee functions, but there are similarities in what these organizations are doing and how they approach the balancing act of ‘work’ not only being a thing you do, but also a place you actually want to be.

Here are a few things that research shows office workers want from their work environments: Natural Elements for Office Design Many office workers spend the vast majority of their days in-doors and in traffic. A study by Human Spaces  showed that office workers want natural light, live indoor plants, quiet work spaces, bright and/or natural colors, and a view of the sea.  While many business owners won’t be able to offer employees a view of the sea, bringing in some of the other natural elements doesn’t necessarily equal an office fit out. Remember that  colors and an indoor environment  can affect everything from an employee’s mood to their productivity levels, so meeting their needs of being closer to nature and working in a peaceful environment benefits everyone.

Slouching isn’t just an aesthetic problem it can also lead to back problems – something that costs American companies over $100 billion each year. It may seem like slouching isn’t something that can be fixed, with most office workers spending an average of  38 minutes  out of every hour in bad posture. There are, however, a few essential ergonomic wellness tips that every office should implement to combat bad posture. Below we mention a few: Be Comfortable If you are  sitting at your desk  in front of your computer and something feels off, it’s time to move.
