Every day once an employee wakes up along with many other thoughts he/she thinks about going to office. In many cases employees first thought in morning is nothing but about going to office.
For me, while heading towards the office, lots of things were circling around in my head. Of course, it was not the brain but the thoughts. These thoughts were related to the open action items, meeting the deadlines, planning for testing, deliverables, client meetings, third parties meeting, team’s status, project health check etc. in other words, as soon as an employee wakes up, he/she is actually working for office, in which he/she might be spending 9 hours in the office and rest of the hours in traffic, at the breakfast table or in the shower, however at the end all these are for the office only.
Is the office also doing the same for their employees?
Good news is “Yes”. Now a days the number of such offices, which are caring about their employees, are gradually increasing. These offices are putting much effort about making their employees comfortable while they are spending their time in the office premises. There are few offices which are even entering to the next level of comfort, which makes them stand in the luxury office category. The lucky employees of these offices are finding such offices are a better place than any other place, which make them more productive and loyal to the office along with their commitment towards the quality and ownership.
In such luxury offices an employee can name things and probably will have it, even if he/she want to sleep without any disturbance, go for it, if he/she want to work while rooming on the road, he/she may get the moving bus with all facilities for it.
I think the idea behind such luxury in office, is to keep their employees motivated and find their office the best place on the earth. Apart from that office do want to increase the employee retention, which helps organization to secure their data, limit the knowledge to go to wrong hands.
For me the idea of luxury office is a good start and yes it is effective in comparison to other regular offices.
