A Comfortable Workspace – The Secret to Maximum Productivity

Bálint Erényi at February 24, 2025

In today’s fast-paced business world, comfort is often overlooked when designing a workspace. However, research shows that a well-thought-out, comfortable business environment can significantly enhance productivity, employee satisfaction, and overall business performance. Studies indicate that employees working in ergonomic and comfortable spaces are 17% more productive than those in poorly designed offices (Forbes).

At DBH Serviced Office, we understand that an office should be more than just a place to work—it should be a space where professionals feel inspired, focused, and efficient. Here’s why comfort plays a key role in maximizing productivity.

1️. Ergonomic Furniture for Better Posture & Health

Sitting at a desk all day can take a toll on your body. Research by the American Posture Institute suggests that poor posture can lead to a 66% reduction in productivity due to discomfort and frequent breaks (Harvard Business Review). Ergonomic chairs and desks support your posture, reduce strain, and improve focus. A well-designed workspace allows employees to work longer without discomfort, leading to increased efficiency and reduced health issues such as back pain and eye strain.

2️. The Right Lighting Boosts Energy & Focus

Lighting affects mood, concentration, and even sleep patterns. A study by Cornell University found that workers exposed to natural light experienced an 84% drop in issues related to eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision (Cornell University). Natural light exposure improves alertness and reduces fatigue, while adjustable artificial lighting ensures you stay productive all day long.

3️. Noise-Free Spaces for Deep Work

A noisy environment can be one of the biggest productivity killers. Research from UC Irvine reveals that employees in noisy offices experience 23 minutes of lost productivity every time they get distracted (UC Irvine Study). That’s why having quiet zones in a serviced office is crucial for deep work, strategic thinking, and effective client meetings. Soundproofing elements, private meeting rooms, and designated quiet spaces ensure an environment conducive to focus and efficiency.

4️. Personalized Workspaces Enhance Motivation

Employees thrive when they feel comfortable in their workspace. A flexible office setup, where professionals can personalize their desk or choose from private offices and coworking spaces, fosters a sense of ownership and motivation. According to a study by The University of Exeter, workers who can personalize their workspace are 32% more productive and 25% happier (The Guardian).

5️. Smart Amenities for a Seamless Workday

From high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and breakout areas to concierge services, a fully serviced office provides everything you need to work without distractions. According to Harvard Business Review, employees waste up to 20% of their workweek dealing with office inefficiencies like slow internet, lack of amenities, and technical difficulties (Harvard Business Review). A well-equipped office eliminates these issues, allowing professionals to focus solely on their tasks.
