After a hard day of work, you come home, take off your shoes, and finally settle down to relax before starting the next day’s grind. As soon as you prop your feet you realize “wow, my feet hurt.” We’ve all been there. Whether you’re wearing uncomfortable high heels or flats that make your feet sweat, at the end of the day – most shoes aren’t comfortable.
What if I told you, not only do comfy wool slippers feel great, but they also may improve your productivity?
The Connection Between Comfort and Productivity
Dr. Jacqueline Vischer, a professor in the Department of Environmental Design at the University of Montreal, created a model for work environments ranking comfort by ascending order of the physical, functional, and psychological.
Similar to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, “Dr. Vischer theorizes before individuals can strive for psychological needs, fundamental physiological necessities must be satisfied first.” Vischer’s model suggests that addressing physical comfort has a direct and immediate impact on productivity.
When it comes to the workplace, comfort levels not only reflect a state of relaxation, they also represent conditions free from pain. Combined, these two elements create an environment poised for optimal productivity. In fact, studies have shown that employees who experience a comfortable work environment are 25% more productive than uncomfortable employees. By improving basic personal comforts, such as temperature, lighting, and dress codes – employers can boost productivity.
