Workplace Design Boosts Productivity, Saves Millions
Businesses are increasingly recognising the impact of workplace design and experience on productivity and growth. Clean air alone can boost output by up to 11 percent and reduce sick leave. Meanwhile, UK companies with the best workplaces have outperformed the FTSE 100 by a staggering 400 percent over the past 20 years.
Quantum Health offers a compelling example of the benefits of workplace experience management. By using the OfficeSpace platform, they saved $13.5 million in renovation costs by understanding how spaces were used. This aligns with research showing that nine out of ten employees believe their daily work experience influences the service they provide to customers.
Cross-functional teams in well-managed spaces are more likely to generate fresh ideas. This is supported by the fact that 90 percent of employees who like their workplace feel proud of the business and are three times more likely to stay. Replacing seasoned employees can cost between 50 to 200 percent of their annual salary, highlighting the importance of employee retention.
Modern workplace experience management platforms make it easier than ever to prove the ROI of employee experience. They can help businesses reclaim wasted time and redirect it into higher-value work, and prevent spending millions on underused real estate and collaboration tech.
The evidence is clear: investing in workplace experience and employee engagement can significantly improve productivity, retention, and overall business performance. As seen in the UK, companies that prioritise these areas have consistently outperformed their peers. With the right tools and strategies, businesses can unlock the full potential of their workforce.
