Generations in the Workplace: Listening to the Needs of Millenials

At times I share articles from colleagues and authors that I feel would interest my readers.  Generations in the workplace is a hot topic today.  It’s a subject that clients want me to address when I work with small group training. The article and graphic describe how to create a creative office space for Millenials.  Thanks to Century Office for sharing this fascinating information.  Let me know how you enjoy the concepts.

Is it worth switching to a Millenial Office Space? 

You might have observed that more often than not, the workplaces where customers or clients do not visit are significantly less appealing to look at. This anomaly or could not get past the workforce of the millennial generation and they want to change it. According to global workspace provider Mindspace, poor office design accounted for over 20% of millennials for turning down a job.

Did you know that 31% of the UK workforce feels that they feel uninspired to work at their current workplace? A simple place to start would be to introduce natural light and also have a bright-colored theme that will add energy to a somewhat dull room. Another very effective way to make office space more lively is to have plants indoors, and not just in hallways. Plants such as peace lily that need very low-maintenance and can thrive in medium-low light will be perfect for desks.

Having a packed sitting space for the employees also hampers their productivity. Open spaces should be provided to creative go-getters to generate more inspiration to work. Having spare space allows employees to get their creative juices flowing and generate their peak performance. Check out the below infographic from century-office to learn some other benefits of switching to a millennial office space.
