How improving workspaces increases productivity

Traditional office spaces are gradually changing to focus on the well-being of employees and a better work experience. This concept is something that the Alicante-based company ACTIU is very committed to.

Digital transformation and the coexistence of different generations under the same working environment have caused a new work paradigm. We can see how traditional work spaces, where employees used to work in individual offices or facing a wall, have evolved to become more dynamic places with ergonomic furniture. It has been demonstrated that a collaborative environment, where all workers can participate and help each other, improves productivity and creative thinking.

Considering that almost all productivity problems within an organization are related to the work environment, this proposal is more than interesting. Organizing work spaces with a collaborative model and ergonomic furniture allows employees to improve their productivity in contrast to the old hierarchical models.

If a company works by and for people, both internally and externally, in addition to improving the satisfaction of our customers and employees, we will be attracting the interest of potential employees. This is very important given that people are increasingly better trained and demand jobs in which they are looking for much more than a high salary.

On the other hand, an improvement in the layout of furniture helps to use all the space in an office to increase the benefits of a working environment that facilitates a high level of interaction among workers. All this will not just stimulate creativity, but will also lead to a natural flow of knowledge between coworkers.

Happier employees, great productivity

ACTIU works in accordance with the Cool working® philosophy, consisting of promoting people’s well-being by making furniture and work spaces which enhance design and encourage collective work. The ultimate goal of this concept is to make employees happier and consequently more productive.

With more than 50 years in constant evolution, ACTIU is the leading brand in the manufacture and sale of office furniture in Spain, creating work spaces that improve communication and productivity of internal work teams. In addition to this, its technology park is the first industrial space in the world to receive LEED and WELL certifications.

Open work spaces, but also isolated areas, reserved zones to think or mull over a new project. In ACTIU’s catalogue, we find some of those essential furniture elements to develop this kind of spaces like ergonomic chairs or office desks.

Among them, we find different office chairs that mix classic and modern designs with the latest innovations, especially in the backrest, with models such as TNK FLEX or TRIM.

On the other hand, the most recent addition to ACTIU’s collection Noom 50, is a meeting chair with a comfortable and elegant design conceived to delight both aesthetics and usability.

Setting up your office to adapt to modern standards is a personal decision, but the benefits of a good working environment are immediately noticeable.
