Almost every second works more productively when the office look is right

The results show that the relationship with colleagues and superiors is elementary - the same applies to monetary and non-monetary additional benefits that the Esteem of Employees express by the employer. And that includes the design of the offices. A survey by the personnel service provider Manpower showed that an attractive interior design is one of the 10 most important factors in terms of employee motivation: 45 percent of employees in Germany work more productively if the office looks right.
