- Dull Office Design is now a reason to resign not just a minor complaint
- Problems with mental health are linked to bad visual and ergonomic work area
- Remote work offers freedom but bad tech setups kill creativity and focuses fast
The modern workplace undergoes a quiet crisis that is not only about productivity, but also the mental well -being of the employees, new research has warned – and this may be due to boring office design.
The latest Art of Productivity Report from Kinly has found uninspiring and boring jobs is not only hurt in morality, but also causes employees to question their long-term future with employers.
Among British workers aged 24 to 35, almost half said (46%) that they would consider leaving their jobs due to unattractive or poorly designed office space – and more worrying, 21%said such environments actively harm their mental health.
Mental Health Taking a Back Seat To Design Missing
This growing concern is gaining a new wave of cooperation between AV and HR departments, the report found, with over two-thirds (69%) of AV-Teams, now working closely with HR to support employees’ well-being through the smarter use of technology.
More than half of the studies surveyed are already using digital signage and visual tools to improve the daily office experience that shows a shift in how jobs are designed and managed.
Instead of relying on generic perks or political changes, companies caters to creative AV-driven design strategies.
Tom Martin, CEO of Kinly, noted, “Office Design is no longer just an aesthetic choice, it is a strategic,” emphasizes modern office environments must strengthen and inspire.
“The office has become a second choice experience for many employees, but the implementation of technology can and will make a difference,” he said.
This view is shared by visual artist Ben Sheppee, who warns that remote work while flexible can stifle creativity if not supported properly.
“It is important that companies provide the technology to help ideas flow freely, no matter where their teams are.”
These solutions are not just about visual appeal; They focus on inclusive, where 31% of companies actively use AV to support Neurodiverse staff.
Sensory friendly features and accessibility -focused tools become part of the wider tool set to create healthier work areas.
71% of AV subject people also believe that these technologies play a significant role in maintaining a sense of society across hybrid working environments.
That said, digital screens and emotional design may offer news, but their long -term impact remains uncertain.
Some people claim that no quantities of immersive AV can replace ergonomically essential things, such as standing desks.
Many people believe that working area tools such as one of the best office chairs or best office tables are fundamental that directly affects comfort or focus and these should be prioritized.
