When was the last time you felt productive, engaged, or even happy at work? If you can’t recall those moments, don’t be alarmed – you’re in good company. According to a 142-country study done by Gallup, about 87 percent of employees around the world are not engaged at work. In particular, Asian countries perform rather poorly in this study. Southeast Asia has the largest proportion of employees who are not engaged, at 73 percent, while East Asia has the dubious honor of having the lowest number of engaged employees, at only six percent.
Engagement and productivity are especially important for startups, where each and every member of the team has to pull his or her own weight for things to happen. It is the founder’s job to create an office environment that helps employees to boost their productivity, and hence feel happier and more engaged. Don’t worry – you won’t have to bust out a Google-sized budget to create a productive working environment. Simple design tweaks will do the trick just as well. Here are five fixes that will lead to a more productive and happier office environment.
