That\u2019s probably never been more true than now, with social distancing requirements and other restrictions designed to help keep employees and the public safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">This urge to follow a more staid, formal and impersonal aesthetic might even be heightened by an open-office arrangement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">These open plans can also intimidate the more introverted members of your <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/team\">team<\/a>. Whereas extroverts are energized when surrounded by others, introverts feel sapped by this kind of work environment. They might find it difficult to do their best work there, especially without a little freedom to make the <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/space\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/space\">space<\/a> their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">For these reasons, allowing for a little bit of creative freedom with respect to <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/workspaces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/workspaces\">workspaces<\/a> is a good idea. It\u2019s absolutely appropriate\u200a\u2014\u200anot to mention prudent and safety-conscious\u200a\u2014\u200ato insist on clean and orderly desks, free of crumbs and trash. However, instead of insisting on cold uniformity, it might be in everyone\u2019s best interests to embrace a little mess and creativity in your workers and their workspaces.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">1. Lighten up on the dress\u00a0code.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/dress-codes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/dress-codes\">Dress codes<\/a> are common policies for most businesses. Certainly, there\u2019s nothing wrong with adopting guidelines for your employees\u2019 appearance while they\u2019re representing your company. However, it\u2019s not unusual for <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/346679\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/346679\">dress codes<\/a> to be overly rigid and consequently stifle personal expression to the point that it creates friction and resentment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Start with a review of the legalities of dress codes with your business attorney. If you already have a code in place, identify the areas where more freedom can be allowed in appearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Consider reframing the existing rules as boundary-setting instead of a long list of suggestions. In other words, use the dress code rules to point out the lines that employee <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/clothing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/clothing\">clothing<\/a> and appearance should not cross. For example, your rules can simply be \u201cno torn or ripped clothing\u201d or \u201cno shorts or jeans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Keep your dress code rules tied to specific reasons that have nothing to do with <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/gender\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/gender\">gender<\/a> norms and expectations. Legitimate reasons for dress code limitations include safety and presenting a professional appearance to clients and customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Dress codes must apply evenly to all workers, regardless of sex or gender expression, and they cannot be discriminatory. Within those legitimate expectations, allow your workers to express their individuality and feel comfortable in their work clothes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">2. Make open workspaces more comfortable.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Common open-plan workspaces don\u2019t have to be impersonal, \u201cmodel office\u201d areas with hard edges and uncomfortable chairs. Add warmth to these spaces with softer seating that pays attention to ergonomics as well as aesthetics. Use <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/243749\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/243749\">color schemes<\/a> that add visual interest without being jarring or overwhelming. Embrace the use of homey touches, like colorful pillows or decorative decor that make the place feel less industrial and more collaborative and creative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">In addition, facilitate future changes instead of locking everything into place. Even something as simple as the installation of rolling casters on furniture to free up future change-ups can help your team achieve the perfect arrangement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Finally, be wary of adopting a totally open workplace. In most cases, having at least one or two spaces that can host a team meeting in a more closed-room style will help increase employee acceptance of an open plan and lead to more effective meetings.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">3. Allow employees to personalize the workspace.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">You don\u2019t have to try hard to find people who <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/313034\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/313034\">criticize open-office<\/a> design for its tendency to hurt worker focus and productivity. However, if you give employees more ownership of the space, it might stop those issues to a degree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">A <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2018\/01\/sgc-research-when-moving-to-an-open-office-plan-pay-attention-to-how-your-employees-feel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2018\/01\/sgc-research-when-moving-to-an-open-office-plan-pay-attention-to-how-your-employees-feel\">2018 study<\/a> by Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers looked at the open-<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/office-space\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/office-space\">office space<\/a> rollout in an international company. They surveyed over 300 company workers in five different countries. The research revealed that employees who felt more personally aligned with the space\u2019s design felt it was easier to collaborate in. Workers who felt connection to the space even found their <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/open-office\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/topic\/open-office\">open-office design<\/a> to be more comfortable and flexible than the workers who lacked a connection to the space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Letting your employees add their personal touch to their workspace seems to help them feel more \u201cat home,\u201d as it were. That feeling can help them do deeper and better work, as it\u2019s more relaxing and supportive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Workspaces may or may not have a finite, assigned space for each worker. If they do, allow them some control over the space, both for personalization and organization. If their approach delays work for themselves or someone else, have HR and their manager address the problem then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">If you have a truly collaborative space, where no one has an assigned work area and no physical demarcations such as cubicles or dividers, consider letting workers bring two or three small personal items with them and display in whatever space they\u2019re working from that day.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">4. Encourage teams to design their common\u00a0space.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">In both open and cubicle-style workspaces, consider empowering teams to design their own workspace, at least in the common spaces. Let the workers in a room decide what wall hangings, art, plants and other decorative touches they want to display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Even if it\u2019s something as simple as presenting three or four options to the group and allowing them to vote for the winning artwork, letting your workers have some ownership in the environmental space helps them feel simultaneously valued as individuals and part of the team.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Self-expression fosters better engagement<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Although employee safety and wellbeing should always be paramount considerations, letting your employees have even a little bit of ownership over the appearance and design of their workspaces is a small concession that pays big dividends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Your employees will feel more relaxed and valued in their work areas. That translates into better work and increased productivity, as well as deeper levels of employee engagement and reduced turnover as a result.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">Thanks for reading!
