5 Ways to Keep Your Employees (Happy)

Stud­ies show that hap­py employ­ees are 12% more effec­tive, cre­ative and col­lab­o­ra­tive. Hap­pi­ness at work leads to increased time man­age­ment and the devel­op­ment of inno­v­a­tive ideas. One way to increase the hap­pi­ness fac­tor at your work­place is by updat­ing your facilities.

Fresh­ly paint­ed and well main­tained spaces are an obvi­ous – but often over­looked – way to increase employ­ee mood and pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. Kaloutas has over 30 years’ expe­ri­ence paint­ing and updat­ing New Eng­land facil­i­ties, from office spaces to indus­tri­al fac­to­ries. Our large 80 per­son staff can be scaled to meet your needs in Mass­a­chu­setts, Rhode Island, New Hamp­shire, and across the East­ern Seaboard.

Read on for a few ideas on how com­mer­cial paint­ing ser­vices can lead to hap­pi­er employees.

5 Ideas For Hap­pi­er Employees

Flex­i­ble Workspaces

From stand­ing desks to col­lab­o­ra­tive spaces, today’s bright­est employ­ees are look­ing for flex­i­bil­i­ty in the way they work. Today’s updat­ed office spaces pro­vide options for work time as well as group-thinks and team meetings.

Com­fort­able Break Rooms

You may have heard that suc­cess­ful peo­ple work hard and play hard,” and some com­pa­nies are find­ing that pro­vid­ing play spaces with­in their break rooms increas­es employ­ee rela­tion­ships and productivity.

Safe­ty First

Safe work­places make for hap­py employ­ees – it’s foun­da­tion­al. By using bin mark­ing and strip­ing paint, safe­ty strip­ing and con­crete repair, you can cre­ate a work­place that makes your employ­ees feel safe.

On-Brand Touch­es

It’s essen­tial that your peo­ple under­stand your vision, and when your com­mer­cial paint­ing, com­mer­cial wall­paper and work­space design reflect that, employ­ees have a visu­al reminder of their pur­pose always in view.

Con­sis­tent Cleanliness

When a work­place is clean and well main­tained, employ­ees can think clear­er and work smarter. Com­mer­cial clean­ing ser­vices from Kaloutas can stream­line your facil­i­ty main­te­nance, leav­ing you with clean­er facil­i­ties and a short­er to-do list.
