Why are Festive Office Decorations Important for Team Morale?

01/11/2021 10:53:00

 
We spend almost a third of our lives in the office++, yet 38% of employees said that being in a negative atmosphere hinders how they work**, so having a functional and fun working environment is a very important factor to staff wellbeing. It’s something that a lot of companies need to consider more carefully!
 
8 million UK employees are negatively affected by poorly designed open-plan offices+, so what makes a good office space? There are a whole range of things to consider – from lighting, to desk positioning, flexible working strategies and so much more:
 

Brightening up the office this festive season

One of the things that makes a good office space is a sense of individuality. Big open-plan offices can seem sterile and unfriendly, but it only takes something small to make a big impact.
 
Another good tip is to keep your office space ‘on-brand’. This also helps visitors get a sense of who you are as a company, and keeps your team focused on your goals with a sense of identity.
 

Why is staff appreciation important?

Did you know that 44% of employees who face a lack of recognition and engagement are driven to leave the company*? Showing your staff that you appreciate all their hard work over the past two years makes such a difference to team morale.  We’ve put together some of our favourite seasonal gifts for employees and desk decorations for the office that we think yule love!
