Office Toilet Presentation
Is there a disparity between the way staff feel about the toilet and how the organisation perceives it? In a recent Leesman survey,
office workers voted the toilet as being the 3rd most important office feature for an effective workspace, above facilities such as the kitchen or ventilation, 50% are unsatisfied and 93% Of staff say the state of the toilet reflects how they feel the business respects them. Is the current office toilet
design a detriment to
staff productivity and
wellbeing?
“Human beings perform best
and are most productive
when they alternate between
periods of intense focus and
intermittent renewal.”
The toilet is the most
private place in the office, and offers privacy
and seclusion – a space
where the user has
temporary control –
a psychological shift from
public to private space. Could improvements to
the toilet be a cost
effective way to improve
staff’s perception of feeling
valued and respected by
their employer?
