To Attract Millennial Workers

• The millennial generation is set to take up the
  biggest segment of the workforce as their numbers
  grow to 73 million in 2019 according to a recent
  article, 5 Office Design Trends That Will Attract
  And Retain Millennial Workers In 2019 by Andrew
  Oziemblo.
• Thus, its important for business owners to
  understand that millennials are expecting a more
  unique workplace environment than any generation
  that has come before them.
• Here are five ways to create an office space more
  accommodating to millennials.

• 1. Say farewell to dark and dingy high-walled
  cubicles
• If you want to attract millennials to your
  company, holding onto your old cubicles is a big
  no.
• However, not every business space for rent has to
  make a huge switch to a totally different open
  concept design.
• Using mid-high cubicles, sit-stand desks and
  group work stations are part of a trend called
  activity-based work design.
• These offices create an environment designed to
  promote activity and physical movement, while
  also creating quiet zones with noise-canceling
  panels and even sound booths for those who want
  complete privacy to make phone calls.

• 3. Add plants and greenery into your design
• Spruce up and decorate your office space with
  live plants to increase the amount of oxygen
  circulating in your office, while modernizing the
  office look and purifying the air at the same
  time.
• Adding plants in the workplace has many
  scientific benefits such as reducing office
  carbon dioxide levels by approximately 10
  percent, reducing stress and diseases and
  increasing creativity and productivity.
• 4. Create more natural lighting
• While it may not be possible for your business to
  install windows throughout your office space
  available in prestigious building, you can still
  help increase your employees productivity and
  happiness simply by switching your lighting
  systems.
• You can switch from that dim, flickering
  fluorescent lighting to LED or CFL bulbs, which
  are energy-efficient and gentle on the eyes.

• 5. Change outdated carpeting to up-to-date
  flooring
• While old-fashioned carpeting can be good for
  offices where noise is an issue, carpet isnt
  popular to millenials, and besides it accumulates
  dirt, dust and allergens, which isnt good for
  the health of every employee.
• You can contact commercial building contractors
  to update your flooring by using vinyl tile,
  solid tile or natural stone which is becoming
  more popular commercially.
• This updated flooring can make an office look
  more modern and comfortable.
• Taking these steps to modernize and update your
  office space can ensure that your business will
  be among the top choices for brilliant
  millennials in the workforce.
