Low Productivity in the Office?

What May be Causing Your Workers Not to Work

Not getting stuff done? Maybe it’s the office. Seriously. I always thought it was just a preference of mine to work near open windows with lots of light and open spaces but it turns out it really does improve my productivity. A recent study shows that ventilation, temperature and light may all play important factors in the different levels of employee productivity. Workers with a window office are more likely to stay on task than those who are not while open windows show an even bigger increase. Similarly, an increase in productivity has been seen when the temperature of a room is raised from the standard 69 degrees up to a surprisingly 75 degrees. To me this makes sense, good weather seems to make me want to do more. What do you think?
