Why HR must promote creativity in the office

Following the growing trend for creative and eccentric workspaces, we spoke to Marsha Ward, Founder of The Number Hub, on what HR can glean from this new approach.

Why is a creative workspace integral to employee happiness and productivity?

“Providing a creative workspace heightens senses and encourages right brain thinking. The use of specific colours is known to affect mood. Our calming colour scheme of blues and greens gives a calming space to our employees. This was particularly important with so many deadlines to meet.  Open spaces encourage collaboration between team members and remove the emotional silos created by the more traditional internal dividing walls.”

Are these types of workspaces viable for all offices?
