Employee surveys conducted within the last 3 years have actually proven that it is no longer illnesses caught outside the work place that cause the highest percentage of sick days; but 60% of employee sick days are attributed to the working environment.

In this day and age many employers try and cram as much office furniture; office desks, chairs and filing cabinets into the available office space that they can.  It is now strongly considered that the cramped conditions that employees work in can make employees depressed and unproductive.

Using space in the work place in a clever manner, such as leaving room for employees to move around, more open spaces, airy offices and well spaced office desks, has been proven to have the opposite effect.

In fact, many workers seeking a job now also take into consideration an attractive working environment before they accept their job offer.  Bright offices with large windows and plenty of room to move about between office chairs and desks will energize staff and make them feel brighter about their jobs, encouraging higher rates of attendance and a cheerier workforce.
