They said design didn’t matter, now 46% are ready to walk away from lifeless offices
- The design of the Dulne Office is now a reason to resign, not just a minor complaint
- Mental health problems are linked to conditions of visual and ergonomic workspace
- Remote work offers freedom, but bad technological configurations kill creativity and quickly concentrate
The modern workplace undergoes a silent crisis which does not only concern productivity, but also the mental well -being of employees, warned new research – and this could be due to a boring office design.
Kinly’s latest art of productivity art report has found that uninteresting and dull workplaces are not just harm, but also employees question their long -term future with employers.
Among the British workers aged 24 to 35, almost half (46%) said they would plan to leave their work due to unattractive or poorly designed – and more worrying office spaces, 21% said that such environments actively harm their mental health.
Mental health takes a rear seat to design faults
This growing concern encourages a new wave of collaboration between the AV and HR departments, according to the report, with more than two thirds (69%) of the AV teams who are now working in close collaboration with HR to support employees’ well-being thanks to the more intelligent use of technology.
More than half of the companies questioned already use digital signaling and visual tools to improve the daily office experience, showing a change in the way the workplaces are designed and managed.
Rather than relying on generic advantages or policy changes, companies turn to creative design strategies focused on AV.
Tom Martin, CEO of Kinly, noted: “Office design is no longer just an aesthetic choice, which is strategic”, emphasizing modern office environments should empower 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 the visual artist Ben Sheppee, who warns that remote work, although flexible, can stifle creativity if it is not properly sustained.
“It is essential that companies provide technology to help ideas freely circulating, no matter where their teams are.”
These solutions do not only concern visual attraction; They focus on inclusiveness, 31% of companies actively using AV to support Neurodiverse staff.
Sensory features and accessibility -focused tools are part of the wider toolbox to create healthier work spaces.
In addition, 71% of AV professionals believe that these technologies play an essential role in maintaining a feeling of community through hybrid work environments.
That said, digital displays and sensation sensitive to emotions can offer a novelty, but their long -term impact remains uncertain.
Some people argue that no amount of immersive AV can replace the ergonomic essential elements such as standing offices.
Many believe that workspace tools like one of the best office chairs or the best office offices are fundamental principles that directly affect comfort or concentration, and they should be the priority.
