The quality of an office space is closely linked to staff productivity and thankfully there are a few steps employers can take to create a healthy work environment. 

Be organised

A disorganised office and desk can lead to missing documents, lost information and increased stress. Adequate and effective storage plays an important role in making sure employees can efficiently store documents and personal items. OLP has a number of commercial storage solutions designed to help reduce clutter such as:

• Lockers for personal storage.

• Mobile Shelving Systems which provide a centralised storage solution.

• Tambour Door and Sliding Door Cabinets for areas where hinged doors would impede access.

• Filing Cabinets for storing large amounts of documents.

• Workstation Cabinets for under-desk storage.

Quieter workspaces

Collaborative and open workspaces foster innovation and creativity but for those trying to work independently, noise can pose a distraction. Furniture and plants can be used to not only divide sections of the office but absorb ambient sounds. Some furniture can also be fitted with acoustic panels to minimise noise by absorbing sound. One such product is OLP’s Acoustic Sliding Door Cabinet.

Adaptability

Employees should have the option to customise and personalise their workspace in accordance with their needs, from changing the layout to adding new furniture. Many of OLP’s products are available with accessories, so you can make the most out of them. For example, our Tambour Door Cabinet can be equipped with file racks, pull out shelves, shelf dividers, plastic parts bins and planter boxes.

Employee wellbeing should be treated as highly important in all offices. Employers should be doing everything possible to ensure your staff are working in a space that promotes productivity, satisfaction and happiness.
