When most people think about the relationship between work and productivity, the first thing that comes to mind is the type of work being done. But thereβs another critical factor to consider: the workplace itself.
No one ever expects their office to be their biggest distraction. In fact, the way we design our workspaces can have a significant impact on our productivity. Yet, so many of us find ourselves constantly battling against the piles of papers, the never-ending emails, and the general sense of chaos that pervades our working environment.
By taking three simple steps to organise and optimise your office space, you can set yourself up for success.
How To Create A Productive Workspace
Studies have shown that the right mix of layout, lighting and colour as well as furniture in theΒ modern shared office spaceΒ canΒ boost productivity and encourage greater collaboration.
1. Layout of the coworking and office space
The layout of a workspace can influence how productive we are. A study found that employees who had access to bothΒ privateΒ and shared modern office spaces were more productive than those who only had access to one or the other.
The key is to strike a balance between collaboration and privacy, allowing employees to control their surroundings and minimise distractions. Having access to both types of space gives employees greater control over their work environment, which can lead to increased productivity.
For example,Β private spacesΒ like JustCo AustraliaβsΒ meetingΒ & ConferenceΒ roomsΒ provide a place for workers to focus on their work without distractions. Meanwhile, public spaces allow for collaboration and social interaction, which can help to generate new ideas and solutions.
2. Lighting and colour of the modern shared office space
Other than layout, good lighting is also essential for any workspace, but itβs crucial for office settings. Studies have shown that workers who have access toΒ natural light in their office spaceΒ are more productive than those who donβt.
One way to ensure that your office has good lighting is to design the space with natural light in mind. For example, you can use light-coloured paint on the walls and ceiling to reflect light and make theΒ dark space feel brighter. You can also invest in task lights for individual workstations. These lights provide focused illumination that can help reduce eye strain and headaches. You can even improve the ambient lighting in your office by adding mirrors or installing dimmer switches.
By working with JustCo Australiaβs in-house design team, businesses can ensure that their workspaces are both on brand and conducive to productivity. We have various options, such as private offices for smaller companies orΒ enterpriseΒ or commercial space suites for larger businesses.

3. Furniture in the coworking and office space
Ergonomic furniture is designed to help people work more efficiently. For example, a good chair can help you to maintain good posture and minimise discomfort, while a standing desk can help to combat fatigue.
When employees are not worrying about pain or discomfort, they can devote all their energy to their tasks. JustCo Australia provides high quality and ergonomic furniture like steelcase chairs for all our members by reducing stress and stress on the body, promoting correct posture and improving circulation.
