Tips to activate creativity "outflow" for office workers.

Create a “vibrant” environment

Sometimes focusing on working all day invisibly creates a feeling of tension and suffocation. Seriousness at work is necessary, but do not forget that it is the optimism of each person that has an impact on the team. Occasionally, take a few minutes during the day to socialize with colleagues, sip some tea and cake to regain the spirit of excitement.

Increase natural light for office space

In addition to the functional factor, light is also considered by architects as an aesthetic element for all types of buildings. The windows in the office are the place to bring natural light as well as the bridge between the office space and the outside space.

Includes a variety of flexible spaces

Sitting at the desk, looking at the computer screen constantly is very tiring. The sofas, pillows and long tables can be considered as the ideal place for us to rest and regain energy after hours of tiring work. Not only that, the "community" spaces also help increase interaction as well as teamwork, breaking down communication barriers in the office environment.

Let's add inspiration to the office space

Because art is always considered a source of inspiration for creativity, placing paintings, photos or works of art in the office will help us temporarily forget the constraints. Besides, consider using your office walls. They are a potential source of creativity. Reebok, for example, has a room where employees can think about the company's latest designs by writing on the wall. Someone will make their suggestions, and the coworker will then make their own changes or suggestions to the design. Because of this collaborative approach, the final design was finalized very soon.

Clean your desk

One of the secrets of creating an effective Japanese workspace is minimalism and neatness. No one can work effectively on a messy desk, and the arrangement of space also shows the spirit and sense of work of each person. So, to be able to work effectively, clear your own space and keep only the essential items.

Create a “play” space for everyone

It is not by chance that more and more companies and large corporations create spaces for employees to rest and entertain. According to a study by the Financial Times, mixing leisure activities into working time will help stimulate 20% more creativity of employees. Relaxing play space doesn't have to be too large, sometimes, just a large accent table and a few sets of board games are enough to dispel the pressure after a period of concentration.

Apply open door policy for employees:

If the company's managers have their own offices, apply an "open door policy" to employees. This will encourage your employees to share their ideas. Creativity is actually the flow of ideas! Who knows, there will be a revolutionary idea for the future of your company!

Create color accents for office space

Monochromatic walls, rigid furniture have been absorbed into everyone's thoughts when it comes to the word "office" for a long time. Therefore, you can consider adding splashes of color to your office architecture to create different effects, for example black and red represent power and strength, while yellow or blue represents power and strength. Green represents creativity. Choose your office color scheme wisely or experiment with different colors to create different moods for each room in your office.
