<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest official unemployment rate is 3.9%<\/a>. Finding competent, productive employees is tough. Keeping them is even tougher.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your employees are your second family, the office is their second home. Too many employers ignore the working environment of their employees.
 
When employees are happy, the company benefits with high productivity. Happy employees start with a great office environment. 

Make your employees’ work atmosphere inviting and comfortable with these cool office ideas. Be the employer everyone wants to work for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cool Furniture <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Too many offices are sterile and uninviting. Boring, ugly furniture abounds and there’s no color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with great-looking furniture<\/a> that breaks the routine office-furniture mold. Make the reception area stand out with pops of color and comfortable couches and chairs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalkboard Walls Please<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make brainstorming, note-taking, and collaboration easier with interactive walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalkboard paint is fun for kids, but it comes in handy in the office environment too. Keep different colored chalk and other erasable writing tools around the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encourage employees to take notes, write ideas, and collaborate when the mood strikes. Writing on the walls inspires thinking outside the box. This benefits employers and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix glass, whiteboard, and chalkboard walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalized Spaces and Fun Communal Environments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t be the employer who forbids personal touches on the employee’s desk. Encourage photos, fun toys, and kid’s art. When employees are comfortable, they’re more productive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it’s in the budget, let each employee buy a personalized planner or calendar. Watch your !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provide a bright, functional kitchen with coffee, filtered water, and healthy snacks. Offer protein-based snacks such as jerky and cheese sticks. Keep fresh fruit and fruit leather on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offer comfortable seating in the break room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Natural Light and Plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use as much natural light as possible. Keep blinds open during office hours. Avoid obstructing any windows with furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If possible, get rid of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). Studies show they trigger a stress response<\/a>. Use incandescent bulbs when possible. Encourage desk lamps for your employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place easy-care, air-purifying plants around the office. The color green is a mood booster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Forget the Artistic Touch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’ve got cool interactive walls, so don’t leave the rest of the walls sterile and boring. Use bright colors and interesting art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure what kind of art you want? Try a rotating gallery wall using local artists. Many artists need a place to showcase their work. Check out local artists and find work that fits your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change out the art every few months. This gives the artist exposure and provides your employees with beautiful art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be the Boss with Cool Office Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Attract and keep productive happy employees with these cool office ideas. Start with great furniture and lots of natural light. Ditch the CFLs if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encourage employee collaboration throughout the day with colorful, interactive walls. When employees need a break, provide protein-based healthy snacks. Make sure communal spaces are warm and inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a little art and you’ve got the coolest office and happiest employees around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
