EFMC - Discussion thread

Q1 - Environment impact our productivity

A few scenario can be referred in this kind of relation.. environment of working place does have connection with productivity:
1. Google office - provide any kind of infrastructure to support staff activities, creating harmony environment.. i.e. children nursery, cafe, health centre, lesisure centre etc.
2. Conventry University - 40 staff swap desk for flexible working form home, can accommocate young lecturer with dual demand of students and young family, hot desk concept, not required to come 9-5..
3. Birmingham Convention Cetre - provide lunch menu which can support the effectiveness of the conference users/ delegate.. In Malaysia we have nasi lemak/ coconut rice before meeting.. after that felt sleepy.. and how can this increase our productivity.. another example RBS at Manchester Spinningfields provide fantastic cafetaria .. with health agenda for their staff.. this can increased staff productivity?
4. CABE study - retention and recruitment of staff/ student in university.. strong correlation of the facilities with performance/ feeling..

Some researcher claims with better environment can increase 15% of productivity..

Open for discussion
