Florida is known as the sunshine state' that includes more than just the weather. The people, places and work areas located around the state are also sunny, cheery and bright.
The best way to replicate the brilliant weather of the streets and bring it into your office space is to focus on layout.
The arrangement of the workstations and partitions in your office are key to improving how light reaches staff members. The benefits of proper access to natural light are numerous. Concentrating on statistics and writing reports requires focus and attention to detail light increases the freshness of the mind and can wake up a dreary worker when a caffeine fix is otherwise unavailable.
Eye strain can also be reduced if staff can see their work clearly without recourse to tube lighting, which may improve visual acuity to some extent but can't be said to be as effective as natural daylight.
The rays from the sun also provide the body with vitamin D, which everyone requires for healthy bones, nails and skin. An adequate supply of the vitamin can reduce the joint and back pain that can often be a chronic problem among office staff who choose to spend most of the day sitting in a badly adjusted chair, slumped over a computer desk.
So if you're working in a bright spot like a Jacksonville office space in Florida and would like to benefit from the advantages of natural light then go ahead and rearrange your space so that it catches the beams.
Utilise your windows, open blinds and allow the light to flow in as long as computer screens are not affected by the glare and work is not interrupted.
Position as many staff as possible near sources of light or even try hot desking where employees can move from station to station during the week so every member of the team can feel the benefit of the sun.
Remember that a high quality of light doesn't have to lead to a hot, stuffy office either. Air conditioning can be used to allow the office to reach an optimal temperature level that suits all staff accordingly.
However you do it, be sure to let the sunshine in to your office to see the difference in staff efficiency and witness the brighter mood of your office residents.
