In this day and age, offices should look very different to how they used to look. However, many offices out there are still sticking to old practices that just aren’t good for employees anymore. If you’re looking to make your office more motivational and your employees happy and healthier, here’s what a healthy office should look like in 2018:
Sit/Stand Desks
Running out of Space on Your Desk? Here Are Some Tips to Declutter
Gone are the days when your employees should be sitting down all day. Sitting down all day is bad for their posture, their general health, and their overall moral and motivation levels.

Sit and stand desks are where it’s at! With these types of desks, your employees can choose what they want to do. Standing has been proven to boost motivation and focus, as well as burn more calories and be healthier overall. It’s great to give them the option.
Clean And Organized
10 Things You Need To Do To Start A Home Business
A healthy office should be as clean and organized as possible, too. Cleaning the office is essential for employee health – you don’t want them to end up sick or with allergies. You don’t want them to do this themselves though, as it’ll take away from their actual jobs!
Looking at a professional company like Atkins Inc. can be a good idea. Keeping things organized is a must too, so consider storing things in the cloud and going paperless so you never have to spend very long looking for a file.
Healthy Vending Machines
Create An Office Visitors Will Never Forget
Vending machines tempt us with all kinds of rubbish, so invest in healthy vending machines instead. Employees fueled with fruit and other healthy snacks will be far more productive.

A World on the Move: How Tech Has Transformed Travel
Bikes are a great form of transportation that will keep your employees healthy, reduce CO2 emissions, and make your workplace more eco friendly. The materials you hand out can outline where to get a bike, what type to get, how to lock it safely, and more. If they feel confident the bike will be safe they will be more likely to do it.
Sleep Pods
Subtle Workouts For the Workplace

Many businesses are adopting sleep friendly policies to allow their employees to take a quick nap in between work. You don’t have to buy sleep pods, either. You could simply allow employees to go to a dark, quiet room on their break.
Fit, Healthy Staff
A Healthy Office Environment
You can’t force your employees to go to the gym, but you can encourage them to do so by negotiating discounts for health club memberships. Some workplaces even pay for a gym membership for employees as a bonus.
