As a career coach, I often work with people when they’re dealing with an expected job loss. They’ve either been terminated for cause, laid off, or asked to resign. In any case, it’s never an easy situation. Most people tell me they were blindsided—they had no idea! Yet, after some time spent reflecting, almost everyone realizes there were signs along the way, and they simply missed them or ignored them.

Office decor plays a significant role in the mindset of employees. The way an office looks and feels can inspire a workforce for better and improve employee moods. It is because a decorated office is much more than just aesthetics. It’s the aesthetics combined with utility, which makes or breaks an employee’s enthusiasm to get to work. A beautifully equipped office also has positive effects on employee productivity and better hiring as well.
