The euphoria from the perspective of working in a fancy office center fades soon enough. In reality, you spend your days sitting in the same position in front of several monitors, going crazy about the noises level. Your back hurts, your eye is twitching, and when staying at work late you may hope to find in your office kitchen only two-minute noodles and spoiled milk.
However, a growing number of business owners decide on leveraging smart IoT systems to grant their employees wellbeing. What’s more, today’s users become more aware of environmental issues. According to the surveys, the employees’ expectations list includes “We want a green office” and “We want our office to be smart” requirements. DB Best offers you a checklist of smart IoT solutions to consider when building your healthy and easy-to-manage office.
Make your workspace great again
The robotic IoT systems can improve the office routine. To be precise, you can build your company great reputation and make candidates dream about landing your place.
Grant your team wellbeing
You can use IoT smart solutions to make sure your employees are feeling well throughout the day. Such smart systems allow controlling your employees’ hydration level, body position, and temperature. Thus people receive friendly recommendations to drink some water, sit correctly, or even see a doctor at the first sights of fewer before they actually feel sick. A number of initiatives claim sitting to be new smoking. You can leverage IoT to inspire your people to be more active. Smart indicators can let them know when they are sitting too long and advise them to take a walk out.
IoT can put the end to a forever-hot controversy about shutting vs. opening the office windows. You can leverage the IoT thermostat solution to decide on the most effective workplace temperature and regulate the air conditioning itself.
Go green
You can go green literally, and utilize the IoT systems for growing plants in your office, or even veggies and berries for your colleagues to snack on. The plants can grow even without soil, as the IoT systems monitor the plants’ condition, watering cycles, auto-refill levels, and pH levels.
Smart systems always know what and when the plant needs, to create conditions for it to grow with you not participating in the process. Yet, the plants absorb airborne pollutants and emit healthy negative ions and oxygen into the air, making your office more comfortable for everybody.
Save resources
The IoT allows you not only for saving natural recourses but also for saving your budget on paying bills for energy and water supply.
You can leverage smart lighting systems, temperature controllers and water coolers turning off all the lights, water heaters, and air conditioning when no one needs them. The smart solutions for outlets prevent waste of energy consumed by machines in the standby mode, automatically change the brightness of lightning according to the amount of natural light, the dropping water if any.
The smart energy conservation systems allow your company to save money on bills, reduce mindless consumption and also prevent breakages in your office. Instead of helplessly begging people to be conscious about the environment you can foresee a smart solution.
Initiate smart recycling and waste management
What is good for nature — good for people. A proved way to have a cake and eat it too is boosting a smart recycling initiative in your office. Thus you keep the office clean and healthy, and also make your little contribution to environmental protection.
IoT makes this process smooth and seamless. For instance, you can utilize a smart system for automatically sorting and compressing the recyclables. What else you can add, is a function of planning waste services for your particular office depending on demand. That means that your office almost becomes a perfectly managed healthy ecosystem.
Expenditures cut
It’s natural for entrepreneurs to look for profit in their any solution or contract. So will leveraging the IoT technologies to build a healthy workspace in your office pay off? Definitely yes.
According to the surveys, toxic and badly equipped workspaces cost business billions of dollars each year.
billion dollars annually entrepreneurs lose because of absenteeism caused by work stress. Add here the loss of productivity and sick leaves you have to pay. Another expenditure pattern is the waste of water, lightning, and heating that amounts up to 19%.
