An office space is a place where we spend most of our time and energy. We see our office colleagues for more hours during the day than our family and friends. So it’s basically the space where most of our youth is exhausted. Half of our life we simply spend by going in and out of several offices. By the time we retire, most of the times we are so used to that work space that we tend to miss it, rather than enjoying our freedom from confinement. This is human nature. Study suggests that most working population spend their time remaining dissatisfied with their work. Some have the courage though, to quit the bonded labour to start something for their own. They enjoy their time in the office contrary to the previous workers who work for someone else in lieu of salary. However, the interesting part is that once they retire, most of them, long to go back to their workstations.
It is not only important to hire good people for running your business, but you have to provide them with proper facilities to ensure that they give their best. Office layout and seating arrangement is one of them.
