Happy employees make happy customers

Does this quote sound familiar to you? Well it should because world-renowned entrepreneur Richard Branson uttered once this phrase. If you know how to create a good working atmosphere as an employer, it will benefit your whole company. If your employees feel good about themselves at work, you’ll see this directly in the way they interact with customers. But how do you build that pleasant and motivating working atmosphere?

There are several things that typify a good working atmosphere. The good bond between colleagues, the easy chats among themselves, and a touch of humour from time to time! To quote Richard Branson again, “Fun is one of the most important and underrated ingredients in any successful venture.” Also, if there is room for employees to be able to express emotions with each other and they are there for each other, it creates a safe and pleasant vibe at work. A good working atmosphere boosts your employees’ resilience. It motivates them to go that extra mile. Employees are more productive when they feel comfortable and at home. More than that, they will represent your company with pride and become ambassadors of your company.

More than a workplace
Connection is an important element when creating office interiors. The office is so much more than a workplace. It grows into an environment where people really want to meet each other. A day at the office thus turns into an inspiring working day. It will be a productive environment where employees can relax for a while and where stress is banished. The vibe at work, the bond with colleagues, and the connection with the office is currently at least as important as the actual work employees do there.

Inspiring office design
Creating a good working atmosphere requires more than the goodwill and good humour of all present. The right office design is an important complement to this. After all, we spend a very large part of our lives in this place. Therefore, a functional office space that inspires us and stimulates our creative thinking is essential. A healthy workplace ensures a good working atmosphere and takes into account both the physical and mental health of your employees.

Contagious creativity
Furnishing office spaces as inspiring workplaces helps create a pleasant working environment. Set up meeting rooms as creative meeting spaces. Common areas lend themselves perfectly to a theatre set-up. Provide open workspaces with lavish greenery and creative seating. Swap boring refectories for a proper office restaurant. Or how about a cosy dining room that looks suspiciously like that cute brasserie in town? This creates places where colleagues like to gather for a relaxing break and entertaining chat. And outdoor spaces also make for very pleasant break spots. Turn these into a green oasis where your employees will find a moment of rest and relaxation.

Employer branding tool
Your office space and its design further offer you the chance to highlight your company’s DNA. This is how you create a certain vibe in and around your business. Now that we live in a time when the function of an office is changing rapidly, it is even more important to let your office exude the corporate culture. This leaves a strong and distinct impression with your customers, suppliers, and your own employees. This way, you’re using your premises and their furnishings as an employer branding tool. Moreover, remember that an attractive workplace is certainly as important to the new generation as the job content or salary package. The war for talent is on!
