The Value of Positive Thinking in the Workplace

Posted on by

 

Positive Thinking at the OfficeDo workplace attitudes make you dread or love going into the office?

Positive and negative attitudes at the office can have an effect on every person in the organization. Have you ever noticed how someone with a bad attitude can instantly change your mood? Or, how good news or a simple smile from a co-worker can leave you feeling great? Attitudes can be contagious. Try to create a workplace environment that benefits everyone.

An office with a prevailing positive environment will have:

  • Improved communications
  • Better teamwork
  • Increased morale
  • Higher productivity

From a personal perspective, a positive attitude can help you regain passion for your work and take pride in the products or services you provide. Employees with an enthusiastic approach to work usually are described by managers or supervisors as “fully engaged” — a quality that they highly value. They will work harder to retain those employees who show this positivity at work — and to further their careers in the company whenever possible. Good managers know that a positive workplace encourages employees to be more strongly invested in the company’s success.

Of course, in every work environment stressful situations occur. Try to remember that you are in control of how much stress you will let yourself feel. A negative approach will set up your brain and emotions for the worst. A positive mindset will help you see that the circumstances may actually be an opportunity for you to get where you want to go — or to find a new path completely. In the workplace, as in life, the difference between the winners and the losers often boils down to attitude.

Positive thinking at the office can lead to less stress & a happier home environment

Applying positive thinking into your work time will also improve your life outside of work. Incorporating positive energy into any aspect of your lifestyle will lower your stress level and create a more enjoyable and healthier environment for you and everyone around you.

The Science of Ergonomics

You hear the word all the time, but what does it mean? Specifically it comes from two Greek words:

• ERGO: meaning work


• NOMOS: meaning laws

Ergonomics is an applied science — designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact as efficiently and safely as possible.

Ergonomic product designers study how the human body uses or fits with a product — then they strive to decrease fatigue and discomfort through that product’s design. Ergonomics applied to office furniture design takes into consideration how the products fit the people that are using them (and vice versa). Workplace products designed with ergonomics in mind can lead to higher worker productivity and lower risk of injury and illnesses.

There are common postures found in the office environment that are considered when designing workspace products or space:

  • Standing
  • Sitting
  • Reaching
  • Moving

Workspace Solutions’ knowledgeable staff assesses how much time your employees spend at these different activities. Ultimately, the workplace should be comfortable for users and adapt to their needs as much as possible. Our office furniture experts will identify challenges your office may have in these areas and suggest the best products and design to help you and your staff work better.
