Even though you might think bookcases and shelving units are unsightly, what’s even more unsightly is clutter. In fact, studies have shown that clutter not only reduces productivity but also creates a negative image of the office space. The saying “a place for everything and everything in its place” didn’t evolve out of nowhere. Investing in shelves, filing cabinets, and other units is vital to maintaining a clean and clear work environment, which will overall increase office morale.
If your office is looking a bit cluttered, it’s possible your employees are neater than you think—they just need more space to store all the stuff that they need to do their jobs. If you provide this space in the form of new filing cabinets, shelves, and so on, your employees will realize that you want to give them everything they need to do a good job. That’s a big morale boost around the office!
