How can a workplace design improve productivity?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or emotions. But, here are some ways a workplace design can improve productivity:

1. Flexible workstations: Employees should have the freedom to work in different environments, including standing or sitting, collaboratively or individually, as it helps stimulate productivity by keeping employees comfortable.

2. Noise control: Unwanted noise and distractions can significantly impact productivity, so providing soundproof walls or cubicles and using white noise machines can help to alleviate distractions and allow employee concentration.

3. Lighting: Providing natural light where possible in workspaces will aid employees' circadian rhythm and keep them more alert, especially when they are working on tasks that require focus.

4. Ergonomic office equipment: Providing comfortable chairs, desks, and other ergonomic office equipment along with access to a break or stretching room can help reduce stress, discomfort, and physical fatigue, resulting in increased productivity.

5. Color scheme: Using colors and shades have a direct influence on an individual's mood, helping them to improve productivity levels. Soft colors like blue and green have a positive effect on well-being, reduce stress and fatigue and boost a calm and productive atmosphere.

6. Break rooms and communal spaces: Providing employees with a space to relax and take a break, allowing for a chance for socializing and a break away from their work will help to boost productivity and employee well-being.
