Tip Take a break Welzijn
Why an outdoor space in the office is beneficial?
A nice outdoor space is important, even in the office. More and more offices are focusing on sustainability, health and well-being. Extend this to all areas and especially to your outdoor space. Giving your employees the opportunity to sit in a garden or on the roof terrace allows them to relax for a while, breathe fresh air and then get back to work with a clear mind.
Imagine it: an outdoor workplace that is not just for lunch or a quick coffee break, but really for working. If you are not yet completely convinced, we list all the benefits of working outside.
Invest in outdoor furniture because the outdoors has nothing but benefits.

1. An outdoor space promotes wellbeing and health
A healthy employee is a productive employee. This is one of Drisag's core values. Research shows that outdoor air and nature have a positive impact on well-being and health. So working outside also has numerous benefits. For example, it lowers your blood pressure and breathing. Your brain produces endorphins, which help your body recover from stress. In short, we thrive in nature.

2. Focused work in an outdoor space
We all know that you cannot work perfectly focused throughout the working day. Doing some tasks outside will break up your day. Bring your laptop, bring your phone, create a wifi hotspot with your mobile phone for your laptop's internet connection, and you're done! Or even easier, pick a specific task for which you don't need a computer or the internet. Writing a report or reading some professional literature, for example. One more tip; it can help to build in a recurring task as a 'signal'. When that task comes up, it's time to move outside.

3. Creativity outdoors
Your garden or (rooftop) terrace is the ideal setting for a successful brainstorm. Being surrounded by the outdoors and nature makes you think out of the box. It stimulates your creativity and this is how you get the very best ideas. But the open air is also the ideal setting for a meeting or short consultation, because an outdoor location has a calming and inspiring effect.

4. Atmosphere and solidarity thanks to an outdoor office space
Working outside gives you the opportunity to bond with colleagues; to create, connect and work together. This way, you create a fun and happy atmosphere and boost the working atmosphere. That means you invest in yourself, in your colleagues and in a pleasant workplace, a win-win-win situation.
No more excuses for being indoors.
