How You Can Make Your Workplace More Welcoming for the Holidays


It’s time to deck the halls of your office! As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect opportunity to add warmth and festivity to the workplace. Thoughtful holiday decor and activities can lift everyone’s spirits, foster team bonding, and help create an inviting atmosphere for all clients and employees. With a few simple touches, you can create a welcoming, inclusive office environment that celebrates the season and prepares everyone for a new year ahead. Let’s take a closer look at a few of the ideas our NJ commercial office design specialists came up with: 

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Even small holiday decorations can make a big impact in your workspace. Create a “winter wonderland” theme that brings a cheerful seasonal atmosphere without invoking specific religions. Snowflakes, pinecones, and winter landscapes offer a neutral approach to decorating that invites everyone to participate in the holiday spirit. Look for sustainable decoration options, too—many small vendors now offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional tinsel and plastic-based items. Think recyclable or biodegradable decorations made from natural materials like wood, paper, or plant-based glitter, which add to the charm without harming the environment.

Adding natural touches like poinsettias, strands of cranberries, and fresh greenery can bring a bit of the outdoors in. These elements create a warm, lively environment, especially when placed in common areas and near entryways. If you have an in-office creative team, consider organizing a holiday craft session where employees can make their own ornaments or garlands. This activity is a great way to bring your team together, fostering connections while turning your office into a winter wonderland.

Deck the Cubicles!

For a fun twist on holiday decorating, consider a “Secret Elf” cubicle activity. Assign each team member a colleague’s workspace to decorate secretly, adding personalized festive touches. Not only is this activity a great way to spread holiday cheer, but it also gives employees the chance to get creative while learning more about their designated coworker.

For a more lasting impact, think about refreshing the workspaces BEyond the holiday season. BE Furniture’s modern solutions—such as sit-to-stand desks and open benching systems—can help create a more collaborative and wellness-focused environment. Surprising your team with an ergonomic and thoughtfully designed workspace is a holiday gift that will boost morale and promote health and productivity all year round.

Plan for the New Year, Together

The holiday season is also a time to look forward to the new year and create a sense of anticipation. Consider setting up a company-wide New Year’s Resolution Board where employees can share both personal and professional goals for 2025. A collaborative resolution board can spark conversations and foster a sense of shared purpose and support within the team.

To make this initiative interactive and accessible, BE Furniture offers collaborative whiteboard options, including mobile boards with integrated charging ports for easy use in various office spaces. This setup allows teams to collaborate seamlessly while planning for the upcoming year. By promoting a spirit of teamwork and forward-thinking, you’re creating an office culture that values growth and progress.

Of course, developing your workplace environment is not a quick or inexpensive solution – but it is a critical one if you want to achieve these goals.

In Every Pandemic, There’s an Opportunity

  If you were considering an office-buildout before the pandemic hit, having lived through it can only be considered a blessing. At BE Builds, we’ve seen our clients designing workspaces that are dramatically different than the ones they would’ve designed just 12 months ago. Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace. And these enhancements are not just a temporary investment due to the pandemic –...

The Benefits Of Using Collaborative Office Furniture To Design Your Creative Space

A collaborative office space has been shown to improve colleague relationships, work-flow and overall productivity. When it comes to transforming an office space into a new-age collaborative set-up, the heart of it all will be the collaborative furniture that you choose.  Collaborative office furniture  needs to complement the design of the space and, most importantly, promote efficiency within the workplace. Using Collaborative Furniture to Build the Space Most will agree that the main consideration to keep in mind when creating a well-functioning office space lies in finding a steady balance between work areas and storage areas. While most traditional offices keep these two aspects of the business separate, most collaborative furniture will offer built in storage options in order to accommodate both. Another consideration to keep in mind is investing in the right sizes when it comes to collaborative workspace furniture. The sizes which you select should depend on the...
