• 1. Office Design

  Your workspace can have a huge impact on the happiness of your employees. Of those studied, staff employed in work environments with natural elements are 6% more productive, 15% more creative, and report a 15% higher level of wellbeing.

  • Tip 1: Place water features at key locations throughout the office for a calming effect.
  • Tip 2: Add plants to the ends of desks and window ledges to create a 'green' feel. Just one plant per square metre could improve memory retention.
  • Tip 3: Introduce 'fun' zones and breakout areas to help improve creativity, collaboration and productivity.

Remember, focusing on employee wellbeing will benefit everyone at the company, and can contribute to its overall success.



• 2. Small perks in the workplace

  Employee health and fitness is related to workplace wellbeing. A happy, healthy and empowered workforce is more likely to perform better, take fewer sick days, and give better customer service, boosting a company’s productivity. Luckily, there are many inexpensive, simple and fun things you can do to encourage healthier attitudes in your workplace.

  • Tip 4: Provide employees with fresh fruit in the office pantry.
  • Tip 5: Offer opportunities for exercise, like a cycle-to-work scheme.
  • Tip 6: Make sure staff take regular breaks and provide high-quality coffee for them to enjoy.

  Keep in mind that 65% of employees take at least one coffee break a day, and 84% of staff find that coffee breaks can help to relieve stress.

• 3. Collaboration and Creativity

  When asked what changes would have the greatest impact on their organisation's overall profitability, 56% of respondents ranked a collaboration-related measure as the top factor. Collaboration and teamwork are vitally important in every workplace. Try creating collaborative thinking spaces and meeting points where employees can chat and share ideas whilst they savour a hot cup of coffee.

  Nespresso Professional offers coffee machines solutions for small offices or home offices (SOHO). You will receive a coffee maker with complimentary accessories, such as an Aeroccino Milk Frother and coffee mugs with spoons for your staff to enjoy delightful coffee experiences in the office pantry easily every day.

  • Tip 7: Create collaborative working spaces and provide refresments in these areas.
  • Tip 8: Encourage employees to walk around and use these facilities.
  • Tip 9: Avoid one-person desks and instead opt for booths and curved sofa set-ups.

Companies who invest in better collaboration can see up to a 520% improvement in productivity, efficiency, and success.

You don’t need to spend ‘big money’ on this either; 2 in 5 employees have creative ideas during coffee breaks, and this rises to 46% among those who have coffee available at work.

So, when people feel like they’re a part of a team, they’re more likely to have an inspired thought, which is great for their overall happiness and engagement.
