New Year, New Office and how you can spark creativity in 2016

It’s a new year which means it is a great time to make a fresh start. Rather than letting business stagnate, the start of the new year is a great opportunity to rejuvenate and then expand your organisation in 2016. A great, cost effective way to achieve this is by revitalising your office environment to inspire your staff in the new year. Long gone are the days of simple white washed offices, instead you can inject new life into your organisation by incorporating an ingenious new design to your office. Delta Acoustic Screens from Rap Industries are designed to do exactly this with their fresh and unique design which is assembled with practical solutions in mind.

There are multiple factors to consider when designing a new office layout in order to encourage creativity, productivity and a positive wellbeing. This means consideration for allowing as much natural light in as possible as it has been attributed to creating a better quality of life due to it being beneficial to combating fatigue. The effects of the design of the office are often subliminal, but it is the little things which matter most as a happy member of staff is always more likely to make substantial contributions rather than an irritated one. This all goes hand in hand as a happier member of staff is therefore free to be more creative and produce more valuable contributions.

In recent years, the importance of colour in the workplace has risen to prominence through a series of studies which have highlighted the positive role certain colours can play. The effects are often subconscious but different colours can help to inspire different emotions amongst people, meaning they can be tailored into your office design to bring the best out of your staff. Certain colours such as blues and greens are ideal for evoking a sense of calmness and serenity to assist in de-stressing due to how we associate them with nature and the outdoors. Meanwhile yellows are associated with stimulating creativity while moderate amounts of reds encourage emotion and passion.

With the Delta Acoustic Screen, we manufacture and produce them in 20 different colours to perfectly suit the personality and strategy of different departments. This opens up the ability to mix and match colours in the office to emphasise the qualities of different members of staff. The psychological impact is not the only benefit though, as we assemble each with acoustic foam to provide a practical solution to reduce increasing noise levels found in open plan offices. This combination allows you to strike a balance in the open office environment between encouraging collaboration but also tackling the issue of competing noise levels from different departments.

Re-designing the office is a great way to inject life into your staff but also into any new clients or visitors attending the office as it demonstrates the modern, forward thinking nature of your organisation. The best part is that adding colourful partitions is considerably more cost effective than moving office or creating private offices. With these factors in mind, your company can move into 2016 with a fresh perspective and new drive to deliver quality services.

How Best to Divide Office Space to Get the Most Out of Your Staff

Getting the balance right in an office environment is crucial to maximising efficiency and productivity. There are so many variables to factor in to creating a suitable environment which allows staff to apply themselves and work while also encouraging teamwork and relationships. Office environments have come a long way in recent years to incorporate team work and creativity rather than reducing workers to the daily grind. The Delta Acoustic Screens from Rap Industries have been developed to help that balance by absorbing excess noise in the office while leaving the space for staff to collaborate together when required.

Large offices in particular tend to be very noisy which as many of you will know, is a massive distraction when you have a deadline to meet. That compiled with the depressing grey walls can cause demotivation and stagnation for staff. Rather than creating a shushed environment which can slow momentum, there is a way which you can harness the comradery of staff all while reducing the frustrating ambience of office chatter. With office partition screens, there is no need to construct a new wall or segregate everyone into tight offices.

The introduction of partition screens to the office has revolutionised large spaces. Without the need to install a permanent wall, partition screens help to reduce overflowing noise pollution while also being a great way to inject some life into a dated office environment. What partial screens as opposed to floor to ceiling screens can achieve, is the open office feel while noise pollution is brought under control. This is incredibly beneficial as it allows for collaboration in moderation without the risk of staff interrupting each other. By giving a sense of privacy, workers can become more efficient with their work while still being integrated together.

We have found office acoustics to be an integral factor in work performance in the work place. In large offices, finding quiet times for complex and challenging work is significant. This said, there is a fine line between complex work and regular work, which is why it is important to strike a balance between creating a non-disruptive environment while still encouraging team work and relationships. This is the aim of the Delta Acoustic Screen, to combine a practical way to dissipate office chatter while leaving the potential for staff to interact.

Delta Acoustic Screens from Rap Industries are designed to address many of these issues in the workplace including noise reduction, privacy and aesthetics. By accompanying the partition with acoustic foam, this helps to soak up a great deal of chatter in the office which helps staff to concentrate when it really matters. The Delta Acoustic Screens incorporate a fresh appearance to liven up any office environment. With a selection of 20 different fabric colours available, they can be designed to integrate seamlessly with any office environment.
