Just remember an open and well-lighted space adds to the overall creativity and performance of employees.
2. Create a collaborative space – Start small while considering office furniture, start with a room dedicated to employees where they can set up a place together to brainstorm and come up with new ideas for the workplace. Moving further one can create a more collaborative space by having employees sit together in one place to sit and work together.
3. Create a safe space – since employees spend a lot of their time in the workplace accounting for almost half of their day.

In this case, office furniture can play a very vital role with furniture placed in such a way that the managers can have a clear view of the employees without invading their privacy. This calls for tables and chairs even cabins created in a way that the office has an open yet easily viewable setup so that the upper management can oversee their team easily and remain approachable, not closed off in enclosed office spaces.
