Businesses have been advised of ways to create a "relaxed and convenient" office environment that will help their employees become more productive.

Sophia Emma wrote in a blog for CH Workspace that choosing the right office furniture can help to create a calming and comfortable environment in which to work and this can pay dividends in terms of employee happiness and productivity.

Ms Emma argued that companies should not rush the design phase and instead should focus on getting the most out of the space available to them.

Elsewhere, property consultant GVA Grimley recently published research showing that almost half (42 per cent) of property investors now put aside extra funds to take on sustainable office design projects at their new premises.

Indeed, Richard Walsh, head of investment at the company's Leeds office, claimed that sustainability is becoming a top priority for many investors and this trend looks set to continue into the future.
