Research has shown that around three-quarters of employees believe that a <strong>well-being programme<\/strong> contributes towards a positive company culture. But, did you know that you can also make a difference with the layout of your office?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-throw-your-office-equipment-into-the-fray\"><strong>Throw your office equipment into the fray<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-1-encouraging-well-being\">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Encouraging well-being<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that employees feel perfectly at home in the office, both physically and emotionally, you must encourage them to live <strong>the healthiest possible life<\/strong>. As well as serving fruit and vegetables, for example, and providing psychological support alongside an attractive insurance package, this could also include creating <strong>sport and relaxation areas<\/strong> in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-2-encouraging-social-contact\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Encouraging social contact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, <strong>relationships on the work floor <\/strong>have a significant impact on a positive company culture. You can imagine the difference between an organisation where employees barely speak to one another and don\u2019t really know each other very well and a company where <strong>colleagues are good friends<\/strong> and seek each other out to discuss issues and celebrate successes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social interaction<\/strong> can be encouraged with afterworks, sports sessions and other activities, but also by providing areas such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativ.be\/en\/a-breakout-space-in-your-office\/\">breakout space<\/a>, a cosy coffee-corner, or (why not?) a library or <strong>games room<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-3-let-natural-light-flood-in\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Let natural light flood in<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativ.be\/en\/the-impact-of-office-design-and-layout-on-your-team\/\">presence of natural light<\/a> is more important than you may think. A study from Cornell University showed that <strong>sufficient daylight <\/strong>reduced the risk of tired eyes by 51%, the risk of headache by 63% and the sense of tiredness among employees by 56%. PR Newswire, which the study focused on, refers to natural light as \u2019<strong>the best medicine for the office<\/strong>\u2019. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativ.be\/nl\/moderne-kantoorinrichting-op-maat\/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA2ZCOBhDiARIsAMRfv9J6DQJgDYL0eLVIyIbtnKxU4FDsywUCfwkA77U1dVwLJxBIMYr3MXoaArcUEALw_wcB\">a modern office layout<\/a> this means not only large and strategically placed windows, but also <strong>LED-lights<\/strong>, which mimic natural light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-4-beasts-of-burden\">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Beasts of burden<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it is interesting to see that innovative companies such as Google, Amazon and Uber are resolutely choosing <strong>animal-friendly offices<\/strong>. Employees are allowed to bring their dogs to the office. According to some studies, \u2018pet-friendly policies\u2019 could lead to an <strong>increase in productivity<\/strong> of 42% and the presence of pets reduces stress. Of course, the condition must be that none of the team members are scared of dogs or any other furry friends that may be brought to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tips-for-a-positive-company-culture\"><strong>Tips for a positive company culture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No idea whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternativ.be\/en\/services\/renovation\/\">your current office<\/a> stimulates or inhibits a <strong>positive company culture<\/strong>?
