How do Dedicated Office Premises Help to Motivate a Workforce?

The subject of motivation is a topic that will always be important for any business or organisation. It is recognised that a business with a highly engaged and motivated workforce is one that can operate effectively in the challenging and variable environment that characterises the modern business world. In fact, many leading businesses recognise that having a motivated workforce is one of the key ingredients to a corporation’s longevity and can help give it a range of competitive advantages. However, many business owners are not fully aware of the positive impact that dedicated office premises can have on employee motivation. This article seeks to explain this concept by highlighting three key ways office building helps improve the motivation levels of its employee base.

On-site leaders

Many top businesses recognise and put extreme value on having strong leaders in their organisation. These are the type of people who can motivate and mentor staff to get the absolute best out of the workforce. A good leader will lead by example and will often be the embodiment of an organisations core values and aspirations. Leaders can also nurture emerging talent from teams and may be able to allow them to gain new skills and knowledge by assisting in projects that are outside their current scope of practice. With an on-site workforce, the leader can be present to motivate and inspire others daily and will often be the first point of contact for advice and assistance from the staff. Clearly, it is far better to have on-site leaders and the workforce present in a dedicated office building rather than with a remote workforce, as the leader will be far more visible and easier to contact.

Communication

Many businesses choose to operate from managed office space provided by companies such as theworkstation.co.uk because they recognise that dedicated business premises help foster improved organizational communication. Whilst the last few years have seen a rise in remote and hybrid working models (partly due to the recent pandemic), these are not as effective in creating strong team communications. Anyone who has needed to attend regular video conference meetings or virtual presentations will know that this form of interaction does not allow the same level of communication. It can be hard to hear speakers online, and tech issues can dramatically reduce the quality of the communication. This can lead to lower levels of staff engagement on these platforms and decreased levels of motivation. Conversely when communication takes place in a physical office, there are no barriers to being understood, and it is easier to pick up non-verbal cues from each other.

No silo working

As a final point, remote working is far more likely to engender a culture of silo working among the company’s employees. This can lead to work being duplicated and a lack of understanding of the roles and responsibilities of other staff members or teams. Conversely, even short discussions and group conversations can take place when the workforce is on site together without requiring advanced planning. This allows all employees to understand other staff and team roles better whilst reducing the demoralising effects of duplicating workstreams. Silo working is recognised as leading to feelings of isolation in the workforce. It can result in dissatisfaction with the company and the culture, eventually reducing motivation and productivity.
