PROMOTING PRODUCTIVITY AND IMPROVING WELLNESS
LOOKING AT LIGHTING DESIGN AS PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE , MARKETA RYPACEK , MANAGING DIRECTOR AT INDUSTVILLE LTD , UNDERSTANDS THAT OFFICE LIGHTING PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN IMPROVING THE EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
The past few years have truly transformed what we ’ ve come to expect from office spaces and their design . As the needs of office workers change , so too must the approach to workplace design . Office interiors still call for functionality at their core , but increasingly , designers are now incorporating more elements of comfort and features that facilitate improved employee wellbeing . With the mood of employees having such a significant impact on the results of a company , it ’ s not surprising that employers are keen to design offices that motivate and stimulate their workforce . In recent years it has become clear that lighting has a big effect on people ’ s wellbeing , alertness and productivity at work . In the past , lighting design has often focused on lighting specific tasks , such as reading or looking at computer screens , which has been at the expense of how light affects the person . To strike the right balance , we need to light not just the task , but also the space and the person , so people can feel comfortable when carrying out their work .
