Office National recommends ways to boost office morale

Office National reveals a few ways to help staff stay on the ball this summer in its latest blog.

Sometimes, we all get the blue Monday feeling where our email inboxes are increasing rapidly while our energy levels and motivation are decreasing just as quickly. But, being happier, healthier and safer at work can actually increase productivity, says Office National.

According to its latest blog, which quotes stats from the Allegra Health and Wellness Summit, 27% of employees say access to healthy food and drink is the number-one way their workplace could support them. A survey of over 2,000 office workers by Staples found that 46% of people thought they’d be happier in a different job. Some of the contributing factors were noisy, cramped, and dull workspaces, and 68% cited underinvestment in office workspaces as a significant reason.

Office National says there are a few things you can do to help improve moral, including:

• Keep hydrated
• Offer free hot and cold drinks
• Design a smarter canteen
• Invest in ergonomics
