Work Environment Matters

This does not involve the company’s impact on environment in general. It only involves where we work. A working environment enhance your productivity. It might has its own distractions, like people calling your phone – but works 95% of time. When we work on academic projects, we are at the library. With web designing project – at a conference room. The places are different, but they boost the creativity.

Sometimes when we get stuck, we take a break. Surprisingly, we return with different solutions. This prove that diverting attention towards something pleasant helps productivity. How is your work environment? All businesses are alike. The similarities lies in how their environment looks like. An electronic store will surround itself with all kind of technological devices.

A restaurant is filled with chair, table, plates and other utilities for fulfilling its functions to customers. An office has different kind of equipment: computers, coffee machine, chair and table, couch and so on. Unless you have your own office, don’t negatively contemplate on these things. Office is not necessary to be productive. Let’s walk through a scenario.

When working on a fully planned serious project, the first thing I do is ask myself: where can I be most productive for this project? At the office, home or library? I just visualize the environment, thinking of what I need, considering things that might get in the way, and to see what mostly works. Where you work greatly matters to your productivity. We all have some kind of home office. Some people work directly from home. Our environment is critical to what we do, because productivity starts from somewhere.

You can’t really find an environment that 100% works for you when you are on budget. However, with low budget, you can still boost productivity. If we work for others we might have work hours that we follows. Working for ourselves is more difficult – we only earn from our productivity. As a business owner, you don’t have time – only goals, objectives, strategies and plans.

This means if the environment do not enhance our capabilities, then we should change it. Keep in mind that it does not specifically include how you treat the employees – that is another topic. This focus on where your creativity and productivity is at its best. The fact that you are working in the team in a gentle and proactive manner indicates you don’t need help with it.

If a group of people can work as one, the rest is minor. The team has high performance – they work as one. They will proactively simplifies the process, which boost productivity. The best environment could be based on this statement: “I want a stab me in the chest culture, not a stab me in the back culture”. A culture like that comes with extra stress, because it leaves no issue unsolved – they will be dealt with or acknowledged immediately.

It allows people to be open-minded and honest in front of the team members. They do it in a respectful and proactive manner without causing a problem. The team can move forward. In conclusion, where you work is about where your productivity is at its best. The place that people can be open with one another makes it easier. It is better than, “it’s not my problem” that might occur if they can’t be upfront in the beginning.
