Rethinking the Church Office
Physical space matters. It’s easier to be productive, creative and happy at work in a colourful, organic, playful environment than in a grey, linear, boring one.
And I’m not talking about the outside of the building. Many companies have buildings that are sleek, modern, architectural glass-steel-and-cement sculptures on the outside - and cubicle wastelands on the inside. These companies need to remember that most employees tend to work inside the building.
Those are the opening thoughts of a recent post by The Chief Happiness Officer that takes a look at 10 very cool work environments. Check out his list and see if it broadens your perspective of what a workplace can be.
Nothing says - by any means - that your church offices need a slide like the offices at Red Bull London HQ, but your church should consider providing your staff with a creative environment to help boost their creativity and productivity.
Clutter slows you down. Average environments at best only inspire average performance. Create an environment that people enjoy working in. Happy people work better.
