What goes into creating a positive work environment? Well, if you asked anyone a decade ago what they valued in a work environment, they might have described someplace tucked away \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 perhaps isolated in an office cubicle, or even in the seclusion of their own homes. Prioritizing factors such as solitude and privacy, most of them would likely grapple with understanding today\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s phenomenon of flexible working.<\/p>\n
Today, our culture of working just isn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t the same anymore. With job roles straying from singular disciplines and managers abandoning the long-held treasured notion of skill-compartmentalization, companies both large and small have organically shifted into a new era of connective and intersectional entrepreneurship. So if our understanding of what a modern business is has drastically expanded and complexified, our definition of what a positive work environment is must change too.<\/p>\n
In embracing this newfound approach of entrepreneurship, read on below to understand the five largest components of building an ideal work experience:<\/p>\n
Proper digital channels<\/strong><\/p>\n Stable and fast internet connection is a staple in any given productive work environment. With recent technological advances paving the way for untethered access to information, compounded by the rate of our ever-booming globalization, data-gathering and sharing, marketing, internal and external communications, among many other critical processes, are increasingly shifting into the digital sphere. In building a digitally-conducive environment, your workspace must be equipped with the right virtual softwares, digital platforms, broadband connection, and electronic devices<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Comfortable workspace<\/strong><\/p>\n While this might seem readily apparent and straightforward for most people, this aspect is still commonly overlooked by those looking to nurture an ideal work environment. A productive workspace should be comfortable and aesthetically calming \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 free of distractions and clutter, as the goal is to provide a focused and clear headspace for your employees. With this being said, some particularly beneficial factors to consider are ergonomic furniture, ample natural light, spaciousness, and quietness<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Collaboration-centric<\/strong><\/p>\n Given that the majority of modern job roles no longer exist in vacuums compartmentalized away from each other, and instead, emphasize the need for inter-departmental discussion and support, a positive work environment should lend itself to collaboration. Therefore, in creating a productive working atmosphere, there should be sufficient open spaces dedicated to fostering synergy amongst your employees. One might consider abandoning the structure of cubicles entirely, and implementing open-format workspaces to boost collaboration and reduce silos.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
