April is here. It’s warming up, the flowers are blooming, and we’ve all got the urge to shake off the winter grime and make our spaces beautiful again. We’ll go through our closets, do some sweeping — and crucially — tidy up the office to get ready for a productive Spring.
Here’s why: It works. Study after study proves that we do better work in clean, unobtrusive spaces. De-clutter your desk and watch productivity soar. Focus your space and you focus your mind. You get the idea.
This year, SCI took that truism one step further. Not only did we de-clutter, we re-arranged. Rejuvenated. Renewed. We just completed a showroom refresh, filling our space with new furniture and rearranging the workspace so it feels different and exciting.
There’s some research behind this, too. Not only does new furniture show your employees that you care about them, but periodically upgrading your furniture also has a net positive impact on employee health and productivity. When Steve in accounting has a new chair with lumbar support, he’s not distracted by pain. When Project Manager Aisha can host a meeting at a conference table with built-in power, her presentations are more comprehensive.
Double that net positive for any clients you have coming into your space. Investing in new office equipment shows you’re financially stable, you’re not going anywhere, and you’re proactively taking steps to make sure the client’s experience with you is a positive one.
Need some inspiration for that refresh? We’re happy to show off our upgraded showroom, so we encourage you to book a showroom tour with us. We promise you’ll walk away inspired and ready for your own Spring refresh.
