In today’s fast-paced business world, creating a productive workspace is essential for the success of any company. As the demands of work continue to evolve, so does how we approach our office environments. Here at Metropolitan House, we understand the importance of a productive workspace. In this blog, we will explore some practical tips to help you optimise your office space for maximum productivity.
1. Ergonomic Furniture and Layout
One of the first steps to creating a productive workspace is to invest in ergonomic furniture and a well-thought-out office layout. According to a study conducted by the British Council for Offices (BCO), ergonomic office design can lead to a 20% increase in employee productivity. Metropolitan House offers layout flexibility to ensure that tenants can customise their workspace to their specific needs.
2. Abundant Natural Light
Natural light has a profound impact on productivity. A Green Building Council study found that access to natural light and outdoor views can enhance employee well-being and productivity. At Metropolitan House, large windows allow ample natural light to flood into the offices, creating a more pleasant and inspiring working environment.
3. Noise Management
Noise can be a significant distraction in the workplace. Research from the University of Exeter suggests that noise pollution can reduce productivity by up to 66%. Metropolitan House is situated just 500 meters away from A1, Junction 72, and less than 5 miles from the heart of Newcastle City Centre. Additionally, we have a spacious parking lot with plenty of free parking available, even during peak hours. This advantageous location allows us to avoid the hassles and noise of the city centre traffic and costly parking charges.

A reliable and up-to-date tech infrastructure is crucial for productivity in the modern workplace. Metropolitan House ensures tenants have high-speed internet access, ensuring uninterrupted workflow.

Collaboration is a crucial driver of innovation and productivity.
