PROMOTING PRODUCTIVITY AND IMPROVING WELLNESS LOOKING AT LIGHTING DESIGN AS PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE, MARKETA RYPACEK, MANAGING DIRECTOR AT INDUSTVILLE LTD, UNDERSTANDS THAT OFFICE LIGHTING PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN IMPROVING THE EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE The past few years have truly transformed what we’ve come to expect from office spaces and their design. As the needs of office workers change, so too must the approach to workplace design. Office interiors still call for functionality at their core, but increasingly, designers are now incorporating more elements of comfort and features that facilitate improved employee wellbeing. With the mood of employees having such a significant impact on the results of a company, it’s not surprising that employers are keen to design offices that motivate and stimulate their workforce. In recent years it has become clear that lighting has a big effect on people’s wellbeing, alertness and productivity at work. In the past, lighting design has often focused on lighting specific tasks, such as reading or looking at computer screens, which has been at the expense of how light affects the person. To strike the right balance, we need to light not just the task, but also the space and the person, so people can feel comfortable when carrying out their work.
