Starting a new business can be a stressful time with the pressure of ensuring everything operates smoothly and efficiently while pleasing your customer base. To provide your clients with a pleasant experience staff must be fully equipped with the skills to solve any complaints. Once your employees have had the training to interact with their roles in your business, boosting staff morale is critical in ensuring they enjoy their positions and exude a positive vibe to clients they interact with on a daily basis.  There are many ways to boost staff morale – from lighting to providing a flexible work environment. Have a look at some of the best ways to ensure you can get the best out of your employees in any new business.

Vibrant Working Space

Providing a dynamic and vibrant working space for your staff presents them with an opportunity to feel relaxed during their work day. Research has shown that if employees feel comfortable throughout their work day, they will be more motivated to be productive. Essentially, the more relaxing your work environment is, more work will get done by the end of the day. Having splashes of color on the wall can give a room a whole new identity, and ease the anxiety that comes with having a heavy workload. One risk many companies take is not providing much natural light. Provide lots of natural light within your work space allows employees to feel less trapped. If your office not in the position to get those natural sun rays, many LED suppliers can provide lighting to trick your brain into feeling like it is outside.

Flexible Work Hours

No one likes their schedule being dictated by higher powers, and there is nothing worse than being forced to attend an 8am meeting without the option of rescheduling for a later time. Admittedly, sometimes those early morning meetings can not be avoided, but if you provide your employees the flexibility to dictate the majority of their work day, they will be much more bearable in those early meetings. Allowing employees to choose what hours they work and whether they work from the office or their home promotes the productivity of employees.

Furniture and Decor

No one likes being surrounded by boring old office furniture. Many people feel trapped when they only have a divide between them and their co-worker. Rather than going for the traditional office style, attempt to make your working space feel more like home to your employees. Try decking out your office with some lounge chairs, a ping pong table and possibly even a beer fridge to provide a more enjoyable office environment. Collaboration is key to a good business, so removing any dividers between colleagues can allow for more ideas to be shared. Shared knowledge and opinions can only result in more enthusiasm towards your business.

There is a lot you can do to ensure your start up achieves the most it possibly can. It can often feel like an impossible task pleasing everyone in the business while providing a pleasant experience for your client base, implementing these simple changes can only boost the morale of everyone involved in your business.
