Office Art App for Workplace

A positive work environment is more than just about great company culture. It’s also about creating a workplace that stimulates creativity, productivity and reduces stress.

Not only does artwork have the ability to impress your customers, clients or office guests, it can increase employee morale by creating a positive and efficient atmosphere. A splash of color or abstract art can inspire your entire organization to be at its best.

Research by Psychology professors Dr. Craig Knight and Dr. S. Alexander Haslam proves a direct link between the working environment and levels of well-being, professional satisfaction and productivity. An experiment studying the effect of the office environment on staff productivity saw a group of employees perform an hour’s worth of administrative tasks in an office without visual stimulation and another do so in an ‘enriched’ office space decorated with art and plants.

In an office with art, employees worked approximately 15% faster than those in the lean office.

A survey confirms the results conducted by the Business Committee for the Arts and the International Association of Professional Art Advisors of more than 800 employees of 32 companies that displayed art in the workplace, 94% of respondents agreed that art enhanced the work environment; 78% said that it contributed to reduced stress; 64% saw increased creativity and productivity, and 67% said that it enhanced morale. These statistics demonstrate the potential return on investment concerning corporate art and visual design.

Art in the office doesn’t have to be costly.

Not every company has a dedicated art budget to invest in museum-quality pieces. The good news is there are alternative ideas and new technologies supporting cost-effective art that smart companies are using to enhance office spaces such as ArtPlayer.
