Recreation and Relaxation in The Workplace
Why Your Office Should Have a Recreation Room
The workplace environment is not always the most relaxing place to be. Many employees often find themselves getting stressed while working on projects, and completing other assigned tasks. Having stressed employees can negatively affect the work environment, as well as affect the productivity of the work completed. In general, having a stress-free environment would have a positive effect on the office.
How can we create a stress-free environment?
While we most likely cannot eliminate all the stress that people encounter at work, we can definitely do our part in limiting it as much as possible. A great way to limit stress in the workplace is to encourage relaxation, and recreation. We can encourage this by establishing a recreation room in the workplace.
There are many different studies and reports of the benefits of a recreation room in the workplace. In a Noomii Career Blog , writer Lillian Connors writes that she believes some of the benefits include “Boost Confidence, Building Interpersonal Relationships, and Positive Company Culture”. Connors and many others have backed this claim, so the real question is not if it's beneficial, but how do we incorporate a recreation room into our workplace?
What Products Make a Recreation Room?
Here at 180 office, we incorporate two products that really help to de-stress the workplace. The first product is a massage chair. For our massage chairs, we partner with Infinity. Not only is the massage chair a big hit in the office due to how good it feels, but it also holds many health benefits. A few benefits of the infinity massage chairs’ are that they help to relieve stress, improve mental health, lower blood pressure and heart rate, improve circulation. There are many other benefits of these chairs, further in depth information, and research, on the benefits they hold. All of this can be found on the infinity website.
The other product that makes our recreation room is our Pinball machine that we got from another partner of ours, Multimorphic. For anyone who may be thinking pinball machines are that of the past, think again! These fun interactive machines from Multimorphic offer both the traditional pinball design, and a more modern designs as well. They have developed pinball machines that hold a storyline. These machines play interactive videos and noises, that guide you through the game. You can also incorporate more fun into one machine, by purchasing multiple games for one pinball machine. More information about Multimorphic and their pinball machines on their website. Both of these products make great additions to our offices' recreation room. They offer both fun and relaxing simultaneously, which help our employees to de-stress.
Here at 180, we want to encourage a positive work environment, and to encourage our staff to feel more relaxed at work. Creating a stress-free environment is very important to us. We use the massage chair from infinity, and the Pinball machine from Multimorphic to make our recreation room complete. What will your office use?
