Creating Workstations That Will Increase Productivity

A work station is not just a table to put your desktop and a chair for you to sit on, its function serves more than just a space that lets you work. If done right, a work station can either increase productivity or promote procrastination. So how do you know if your workstation is serving you the right amount of productivity?
Take Google for example. The organisation offers sleeping pods for employees to take quick naps and rejuvenate in order to promote creativity. They also take a more colourful and fun approach to their office design. On the other hand, Facebook promotes an open space free of cubicles and walls to maintain an open door policy. By doing so, Facebook allows employees to approach managers at any time for discussion.
You don’t need to do a huge change to your office or workspace but there are certainly a few tweaks that can be made easily. For example, having a small plant or your favourite childhood character figurine that you can rest your eyes on when the work gets too hectic. You can even have your own mini blackboard where you put your to-do list for the week. Little changes mean a lot, so start with something small.
