There is a significant relationship between individuals and their environment crucial to determining how they feel, perform, and interact with others. Making room for the different ways employees work and teams collaborate is a key to an effectiveworkplace design. This research is aimed at providing critical insight into how workplace environments influences physical comfort and employee engagement in an office, and to identify ways to leverage design for enhanced wellness of its employees.
In over 200 employees surveyed in seven architectural offices in Michigan, the study found that 91% of highly engaged employees report higher satisfaction level while only 35% of less engaged employees report high satisfaction in their office. Together with site observations and survey responses, it highlights a gap between the type of spaces employees work in or have and the type of space they prefer for different activity-based work. The primary purpose of this research is to advocate for the need for enhanced overall satisfaction and wellness of employees within the workplace.
