3 Creative Ways to Enhance Productivity in the Workplace

Written by Metro Admin | 01/23/2015

Today, employees are working longer hours as they try to balance work, family life and other obligations resulting in less focus while at the office. To maintain productivity while in the office, it is important to find ways to help your employees stay sharp while in the office.

Metro Offices, a provider of Herndon office space and workplace solutions, lists ways to boost workers’ efficiency:

Nap Area: Many medical studies have revealed that a 30- to 60-minute nap in the early afternoon greatly enhances a person’s mood and alertness, which leads to better productivity. A 10-minute power nap, on the other hand, is said to provide immediate benefits that boost performance. Whether you’re taking a long nap or a short one, it can help reduce fatigue and lower blood pressure.

Many businesses believe that being reenergized in the middle of the day may improve an employee’s work output. Well-known companies like Procter & Gamble, Google, and The Huffington Post are leading the way with this workplace benefit by creating nap stations for their workforce.

Wellness Rooms: Physical fitness is a contributing factor to an employee’s productivity. Having a gym at the office is a convenient benefit for workers allowing them to exercise before or after work.

A wellness studio that offers stress management activities and meditation exercises may help employees beat fatigue and boost emotional health. Moreover, a wellness facility may help in their social well-being as it can serve as an avenue to interact with coworkers.

Short Breaks: Taking short breaks—whether for coffee, stretching exercises, or small talks with officemates—has an impact on one’s health and productivity. It can help increase your work speed, improve concentration, and boost alertness.

Are you sitting for long hours a day? Take a short nap or stretch your muscles during a quick break to help boost your physical strength and get back to work reenergized.
