en bra dag på jobbet
It is common knowledge that people are affected
by the environment in which they work. Some
environments are stimulating and conducive to
work others induce feelings of fatigue and
lethargy.   In a good office environment, people
are comfortable, at ease, happy and motivated.
Inspired staff perform better... better
performance makes for a more efficient
business... and greater efficiency makes for a
more profitable business. A positive upward
spiral with benefits all round.   When all the
factors that influence the office environment
combine to achieve a workplace that inspires the
people in it, we have what we at Kinnarps
call...   en bra dag på jobbet.
