Factors That Kill Employee Focus
Working with HAWORTH, you can learn about the factors that kill employee focus and prepare to plan against them. As leaders in the office design and furniture industry, we stay on top of trends and are aware of the latest innovations. While we are sourcing products for your space, we are not just taking into account the overall design and aesthetics, but also the needs of the client and how the pieces we choose will help them achieve their business goals.
Your work environment could suffer from the question of “why can’t we focus at work”. It can be a difficult hurdle to clear. Knowing the ways that focus work is task- and person-specific can help you create a workplace—its culture, policies, and various workspaces—to meet all the ways employees need to work, including focus work.
The experts at HAWORTH, tested how visual and auditory distractions and interference affected tasks requiring sustained attention. They found when people were exposed to visual and auditory distractions or interference, their work performance declined.
The three culprits of work focus are:
Distractions- When unexpected off-task information captures our attention.
Interference- When off-task information gets confused with task information.
Disruptions- When a distraction or interference pulls us off a task entirely to start a new task.
Solutions Against Factors That Kill Employee Focus
- Work on a single task until completion
- Walls work best for more deliberate tasks. Next best is a panel at least 50” high for seated positions. For more automated tasks, adjusting your orientation to face a direction that minimizes visual activity is helpful.
- Ensure spaces have adequate signal-to-noise ratio through appropriate background sound levels.

Create a Workspace to Help Employees Thrive in a Time of Coronavirus
Employers worldwide are faced with protecting their employees’ health in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we implement solutions like staggered schedules, remote working, and redesigning floor plates to put more space between people, there’s an important question to ask: Are we adapting to simply survive or are we adapting to thrive?

Workplace Culture in a Time of Coronavirus
People are slowly returning to the workplace since the COVID-19 pandemic set in, but with that comes many changes within the workspace. One thing that employers can preserve is the culture within the space. Not only can they protect it, they need to nurture it. What we’ve discovered is that the “new normal” in the workplace depends on an organization’s culture.

Workspaces that Inspire Corporate Culture
Meet the team that creates workspaces that inspire corporate culture. Bellia is a trendsetting office furniture dealer focused on matching your space with the best interior design to breed better business. For 40 years, we have brought expert corporate design services to medical offices, corporate offices, car dealerships, schools, colleges and government buildings.

As designers and furniture providers, we take pride and responsibility in elevating the success of your business.
Through our service, we want to create work spaces for corporate culture that invites inspiration and passion. One of the most valuable tools to reinforce culture and drive business strategy is workplace design. Culture serves as a catalyst for engagement, collaboration, and innovation. We believe the power of blending corporate culture and the right brand with individuals requires spaces that reflect their personal expression in a corporate environment. Our process looks at your space as a problem solving project, to eliminate as much unneeded aura to the work areas as possible. We do this to stray away from the trappings of creating a “nice look” with no substance, with a strategy to breed tangible results.
Our team will help introduce and design concepts to the work area including:
- Dedicated team spaces insulated by physical barriers allow strategic, high-focus group work to be done.
- Set ups for social interaction, inspirational “group restore spaces” with “elements of nature” invite people in and help ideas flow.
- Spaces that allow individuals to externalize ideas help them lock in information; physical barriers block distractions, allowing users to concentrate on their work.
- Accessible, informal spaces with daylight views offer individuals the ability to restore, while providing connections to others and information.
For the team that creates workspaces that inspire corporate culture, call on us to get started!
Corporate
Today’s corporate office furniture and the entire corporate office environment plays a crucial role in affecting employee behavior and performance. Privacy, interaction, flexibility and mobility can have their place just about anywhere in a work environment. The work space has become an extension of employee’s human nature, a representation of their desires to excel; a place with the comfort of home away from home to accommodate flexible and extended hours. It is with these factors in mind that Bellia redefines work space so that everyone experiences both personal and professional success.
