Grateful Spaces: How Thoughtful Office Design Fosters Employee Gratitude
As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s a fitting time to reflect on the spaces where we work and how they influence our daily lives. At Wurkwel Ventures, our portfolio companies — Rightsize Facility, Office Furniture Center, MAC Relocations, and FurnitureFinders — are dedicated to creating work environments that not only meet functional needs but also inspire gratitude among employees.
Rightsize Facility: Crafting Spaces That Inspire
Rightsize Facility specializes in designing and furnishing office spaces that promote collaboration and well-being. A notable example is their work on a 29,000-square-foot spec suite in Chicago. Partnering with Riverside Investment and Development, Rightsize created a modern, high-end office space with an open-concept design that balances privacy and collaboration. The use of neutral color palettes and industrial-style workstations resulted in an elegant and functional environment, allowing tenants to envision a workspace that fosters engagement and gratitude.
Office Furniture Center: Elevating Workspaces with Quality Furnishings
Office Furniture Center (OFC) provides a vast selection of pre-owned, refurbished, and new office furniture, enabling businesses to create comfortable and productive environments. In a project with Township High School District 214, OFC furnished a temporary workspace for the administration staff during renovations. The project included over 70 Steelcase Answer workstations, private offices, conference rooms, and collaboration areas. The result was a functional and attractive space that met the district’s needs within a tight timeframe, demonstrating how thoughtful furnishings can enhance employee satisfaction.
