If you strive to attract and retain top talent within your organization, you must ensure your workplace is designed to meet those employees\u2019 needs\u2014offering an attractive, ergonomic, efficient space that is tailored to each person\u2019s job function and personal work style.<br \/>\nIf you are interested in updating your workspace, but you don\u2019t know where to begin, here are a few of the top new trends we are seeing in the office design industry.<br \/>\nStanding to work<br \/>\nWith more research coming out about the health issues associated with prolonged sitting\u2014from neck and back problems to higher rates of obesity\u2014the sit-to-stand desk is a top trend in the workplace. These adjustable-height work surfaces offer the flexibility to perform work in either a sitting or standing position, improving ergonomics.<!--more--><br \/>\nTaking the workplace outdoors<br \/>\nExposure to sunlight and fresh air has countless health benefits\u2014improving mood, lowering blood pressure, and reducing stress levels. That\u2019s why many companies are creating attractive and functional outdoor spaces.<br \/>\nLight<br \/>\nAlong this same vein, natural light is one of the most sought-after indoor office elements. Designing workplaces that give the largest possible number of employees access to daylight can boost job satisfaction, productivity, and mood. One effective approach to achieve this end is lowering divider walls or removing solid walls and replacing them with glass.<br \/>\nLower work station walls<br \/>\nA whopping 65 percent of the cost of most cubicles is in the vertical panels, which is one reason benching\u2014a desk system devoid of walls\u2014is becoming more and more popular. Benching decreases expense while increasing collaboration, and it also allows you to fit more employees into a smaller work area.<br \/>\nPhone booths<br \/>\nOne space-saving solution for the privacy and noise challenges that open offices can present is the modern twist on the old-fashioned phone booth. Available in a variety of colors, designs, and size, today\u2019s phone booths are a stylish addition to your office while offering near-soundproof levels of privacy.<br \/>\nBreakout spaces<br \/>\nThe days of the formal boardroom and large private office may be coming to an end. More often today, teammates are coming together for impromptu and informal pow-wows. As a result, offices are transitioning to smaller work stations, but collaborative breakout spaces are growing in number and size. These flexible spaces can accommodate meetings as well as socialization among colleagues.<br \/>\nColor<br \/>\nResearch has shown that certain colors can boost creativity and productivity in the workplace, while others can induce a sense of calm and ease. Color also can speak to the personality of a company.<br \/>\nThese are just a few of the latest trends in office design that can help you attract talent, boost productivity, and put your best foot forward with customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dorothy Rogers-Bullis Your business\u2019s physical space says a lot about you, speaking volumes about your company culture and priorities.
