5 Ways to foster a creative workplace culture

A creative workplace culture is essential to being innovative in today’s global, 24/7 business climate. The work we perform today has become increasingly complex, making creative work more and more critical to long-term business success. We aren’t talking about artists, musicians and writers, although they are incredibly important!

By creative work we mean problem solving, alone or in teams – finding unique solutions to complex problems. A workplace transformation should address how you are supporting creative work such as brainstorming, idea generation and collaboration.

5 ways to foster a creative workplace culture:

  1. Equip gathering spaces with collaborative technology for content sharing and HD videoconferencing. Consider an all-in-one device like Microsoft Surface Hub
  2. Ensure that employees have total freedom to choose where and how they work throughout the day, whether at a touchdown bench, a cafe table, or an enclosed quiet space
  3. Create a work café as your central ‘hub’, where employees can gather, socialize, dine and collaborate informally.
  4. Incorporate a BYOD strategy where employees bring their own devices and can seamlessly use them within the company infrastructure.
  5. Incorporate materials that offer inspiring colors, textures and patterns.
