Office Peacocking is an approach to transform the workspace so that employees feel comfortable to work there.
Post-pandemic, employees are quite accustomed to conduct office work from homely atmosphere. At least 90% of employees prefer WFH culture, as per recent reports. WFH culture was embraced to ensure business continuity as well as protecting employee health. To mitigate the impact of work-from-home (WFH) culture during Pandemic, organisations are coming up with innovative ideas to bring employees back to office environment. One method is Office Peacocking.
Peacocking is a term used to refer something coming up with new outlook. Office Peacocking involves new office decor, well-stocked kitchens, and embracing relaxing attire.
Companies are moving over from cubicle structure and embracing relaxing sofa, lounge-style setting with some fancy decor.
In this article, we will discuss about summer themed workspace decor.
High temperature reduces productivity. Thus, creating a cool atmosphere in the office is an absolute must. Apart from centralised air conditioning system, the focus must be on curtains. Use cotton curtains for windows and doors. Good quality curtains will block the sunlight from directly entering the working space. This will prevent excess room heating. Pastels or bright coloured curtains are suitable for summer season. This will prevent at least 60% of sunlight creating a good combination of natural and artificial light.
Green colour has a soothing effect on human brain. Artificially or naturally, you can plan your workspace with lot more greenery. Create space for plants like succulents, spider plants, Peace Lily, ZZ plants and so on. These plants will purify the internal air and provide a soothing effect on your eyes. In break, encourage employees to spend more time nurturing the plants.
Furniture with an ‘organic form’ makes workspace lighter and airier. Thus, furnitures should have wooden carvings with natural designs. Lounge chairs and live-edge tables are some excellent summertime make over for your workspace.
We all love to relax in a secluded place in a break or after hectic schedule. Create e corner space for employees for relaxation purpose. This should have a recliner, lounge chair, or comfortable Diwan.
Make the outdoor summer-ready. In the afternoon, employees should have one space to feel the nature after a hectic office day. Keep a swing chair and make the outdoor playful with fancy decor and fairy lights.
Side tables feels like the icing on the cake in any workspace. These small and adorable additions will surely bring a positive vibe among employees. Make the workspace livelier ans more soothing in this summer.
Reteish Sharma, Managing Director at ZYNNA, advised: “When it comes to summers one looks for pastels and it means the light hues of colours; that means pale green, soft pink, soft beige and more neutral shades. That's what makes it very comfortable to be in the environment and the ambience secondly when it comes to textures the fabrics which are more absorbent like natural fabrics of natural yarns are used something like pure cotton or pure linen or even if it's a blend the percentage of polyester is very little so this helps in the maintenance and also it's very easy to feel and touch.”
During this heatwave, transform the workspace with a refreshing aura.
