现代工作场所已经从传统的大型私人办公室和高面板小隔间的组合演变为更开放的工作场所, collaborative office. According to a JLL report, 通过保持员工的积极性，创造一个理想的工作场所直接影响到办公室文化, productive, and happy. This has been confirmed by many other reports such as How to Create a Successful Organizational Culture by Haworth and even in our own findings.
以下是设计影响工作效率和幸福感的5种方式:
Flexible Workspace Layouts
工作场所的灵活性为员工提供了一种自由感，从而提高了工作效率. 为不同的工作模式提供指定的空间，可以让个人最好地集中精力工作，而不会因为不同的工作模式而分心. 可以通过单独的空间来集中注意力、协作、社交和学习 modular seating and walls，这也赋予了员工塑造自己环境的权力. 这种灵活性有助于创造一个更多功能的工作场所，从而带来更健康的协作和工作场所社区感.
Lighting
Depending on how a space is lit, 照明对员工的情绪或工作效率有积极或消极的影响. Light that is too dim or too intense can feel uninspiring and hard to concentrate. 照明应被视为工作场所设计的一个组成部分，并应根据手头的工作进行设计. 在工作场所投资合适的照明可以改善员工的情绪，增加环境的氛围.
Movement
拥挤的工作空间会对生产力和创造力产生负面影响. 过度拥挤的办公室往往会限制员工的活动，这对员工来说可能是一种压力和疲劳的体验. 允许员工自由活动的办公室布局可以促进合作和发展 spontaneous conversations that are not only useful but boost overall moral.
Health
健康是幸福和高效的先决条件. 雇主们正在越来越多地努力将员工的健康融入工作场所. Amenities like wellness rooms, yoga studios, 步行轨道和站立式办公桌在工作场所都越来越受欢迎. With these additions, 工作场所变得更具包容性和健康意识，这不仅降低了健康问题的风险, but boosts employee happiness.
Biophilic Design
Biophilic design positively impacts human senses and increases productivity. 研究表明，能接触到植物的办公空间大约是 12% more productive than those who worked in an environment with no plants. 将自然带入办公室有助于保持工作空间的清新和活力 reduce indoor pollution and increase oxygen levels.
