"Crispy migrant workers" refer to those who face high work pressure, fast-paced lifestyles, and are often overwhelmed by work. Their physical and mental health are relatively fragile, and they are prone to various health problems and emotional fluctuations. This word is gradually becoming a reality among professionals in the workplace. A healthy office environment is an important factor for working, but how to create a healthy office environment? Xiaomei suggests adopting the following 7 elements in the office to create a healthy working environment.
Firstly, it is important to have an open office area. Open office areas can provide sufficient sunlight and space, reduce people's stress during work, and also facilitate air circulation.
Secondly, walking is healthier. Long term sitting and prolonged vision can cause many health problems, such as obesity, varicose veins, cervical spondylosis, and eye diseases. In the office, it is possible to create opportunities for mobility, allowing employees to move around unconsciously, thereby improving the problem of prolonged sitting. Meanwhile, an open and transparent office environment is also more conducive to face-to-face communication among employees.
Thirdly, setting up a gym to provide exercise space. Due to work reasons, many people find it difficult to find time to exercise. Therefore, setting up a small gym in the office can help employees exercise more conveniently.
Fourthly, increase personal space. By using different colors or simple geometric shapes to distinguish personal spaces, the importance of personal space can be visually emphasized. This design concept is applicable to any gathering place of the company, including lounges or public areas.
Fifthly, adopting standing office to solve the harm caused by prolonged sitting. Research has shown that sitting for an hour is equivalent to smoking two cigarettes, and workplace employees sit for an average of 6-10 hours a day, causing a significant burden on their bodies. Therefore, providing a standing office environment can allow employees to change their posture and continue working after prolonged sitting without reducing productivity. A retractable office desk can effectively reduce the pressure on the lumbar and cervical vertebrae, and improve the problem of lack of concentration caused by long-term work.
Sixth, adopt a biophilic design.
In recent years, more and more designers have integrated green plants and natural light into office decoration, and a decoration style that is close to nature has been favored by more people. The natural environment can bring inspiration, motivation, and vitality to people.
Seventh, introduce richer colors. Colorful office spaces can enhance people's sense of happiness, productivity, and creativity. The decoration of future offices will introduce more colors, becoming a characteristic of the new generation of office spaces.
Workplace health is not just a personal issue for employees or the company itself. Xiaomei hopes that the above suggestions can actually help companies create a healthy and comfortable office environment, and help workers work healthily and efficiently.
