have fun at work

COMPANIES that are highly creative give their staff a work environment that is exciting

With more and more people working from home, out of their cars, in coffee shops and elsewhere, the term “workplace” takes on a whole new meaning.

Add to that a bit of innovative thinking, a flair for the dramatic, a burning desire to be different, and you have some clever and cool workspace concepts for creative people.

Physical space matters. It’s easier to be productive, creative and happy at work in a colourful, organic, playful environment than in a grey, linear, boring one.

The goal of a workplace is to provide a place and space to allow a person to get work done. The best workplace is comfortable, functional and inspirational.

What this means can vary from person to person, but one common factor is that people want to work in a place where they can focus, create and produce.

Maybe the best way to judge whether or not a work environment is effective and efficient is to see what comes out of it.
