One of the most import aspects of a business is the working environment. The working environment is a direct reflection of the effectiveness of the management, as it shows the management’s eye for detail and their interest in staff welfare and in the business itself. It shows how loyal both the management and the staff is to the business in how they maintain the office space. In addition to this, the working or office environment also has a direct impact on customers and clients, as a well maintained office environment will impress clients and they will be positively affected when it comes to patronizing the business.

Similarly, if the office environment was displeasing to the eye or badly maintained, it would have an adverse effect on clients as they would be put off and repelled by the surroundings. The same applies for potential business partners. In terms if the effect on the workforce, workers would feel very motivated in a comfortable working environment, and would be demotivated in a badly kept office. This has a direct effect on their quality of work, and this could therefore either benefit the business or harm it.

Workers have the right to work in a clean, tidy, hygienic and safe working environment. They have a right to be treated well in all aspects, and that includes the environment in which they are expected to work. Employees should have access to all the necessary facilities pertaining to their work, and this access should be convenient. The management of a business should create an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable office space, and steps should be taken to make it look professional and state of the art, especially in the case of big businesses. Office fitouts could be used in order to create a positive impact when designing the interior of a working space. After taking steps such as these, it will be quite apparent that workers’ morale will be boosted. This is because it shows that they are treated as important assets to the business, and that the business values them.

Commercial office fitouts will include special cubicles for each worker and differentiated workplaces for workers who hold higher posts in the business. This will give them a sense of importance and responsibility, which thus boosts their performance and productivity. Failure to provide workers with comfortable working spaces will lead to low quality of work, heavy absenteeism and even high labor turnover and leakage of company secrets to competitors due to overall dissatisfaction and lack of loyalty to the business.
