We all know how temperamental the British weather can be and that is why when the sun is shining, we want to make the most of it! Going from the warm of the sun outside to a dark office is extremely demotivating and combatting this will be key for any business over the summer months. One way to achieve this is to increase the amount of natural light which enters your office with glass partition walls.
Glass partition walls can be used pretty much anywhere in your office, from creating small individual offices to meeting rooms or separating the office from the break room. Having glass from floor to ceiling in this manner means that no natural light is blocked, creating a space which is light and welcoming to employees and visitors alike. To learn more about the advantages of glass partitions for employees and employers, keep on reading.
Benefits of glass partition walls for employees
The key benefits for employees come from the increase in natural light. It has been shown in studies that a lack of natural light in a working environment can create health problems such as eye strain or headaches. During the summer months, you can reduce the chances of these ailments occurring by allowing natural light to flow through your glass partitioning and into your office.
Glass partitions have also been linked to an increase in productivity. As a company, if you can reduce the strain your employee is feeling in the office this is naturally going to have a knock-on effect on their motivation and their productivity.
Of course, it is not just physical health we want to look after. An employee’s mental well-being should be a central focus for an employer, and an increase in natural light can help to reduce feelings of worry or stress. It is not just with natural light that glass office screens can help reduce stress, as having an office that feels more open-plan can be just as effective. By keeping an open feel to the workplace and not shutting individuals or teams away in their own smaller spaces, you can create an office which benefits from inclusion whilst also creating acoustic areas where outside noise cannot distract.
Benefits of glass partition walls for Employers
Now, for the employers, by looking after your staff in the ways mentioned above you are creating a positive company culture, one in which many staff members will not want to leave. From reduced staff turnover to increased productivity, everyone has something to gain from looking after your employees properly.
From a financial viewpoint, installing glass partition walls can reduce the need for artificial lighting during the summer months. Lowering your energy bills during this hard period will be a welcome relief for many business owners but can also ensure a business is meeting any environmentally-focused KPIs they have in place.
