One of the easiest ways to boost productivity in your Cleveland-area business is to add artwork to your environment.
But no, hanging mass-produced paintings or motivational posters won’t cut it. Think back to your own experience with such images. We bet they didn’t do anything for your mood or company loyalty. Why would you colleagues have a different reaction?
The good news is that wall murals, vinyl, 3-D or other stylish lettering are more cost- effective than you realize. And unlike those posters and paintings you see in stores, murals, lettering and other wall or window graphics can be customized while staying within your budget.
Why go to the trouble? Consider that more than 82 percent of full-time employees surveyed for Capital One stated company leaders can’t encourage innovation unless the workplace design and environment is innovative, reported Contract Furnishings News (CNF). How to show innovation? Artwork and creative imagery was cited as vital by 44 percent and bold colors were sited by 26 percent of those surveyed, according to CNF. And 69 percent of those surveyed reported local culture was not reflected in their workplaces.
You’re in luck. As you know, there is an abundance of local culture in Cleveland – from University Circle to the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – from which to pull. And our artists can create murals, 3D letters, and an array of signage – inside and outside your business -- that swirl local character with elements of your business personality.
The shame is that many East Ohio employers are afraid to even dream about murals on conference room walls, reception areas or other highly visible locales. Not only are they missing out on adding beauty to the workplace but ramping up stability and loyalty among employees – at a fraction of the cost of lost revenue and employee turnover.
You may recall our earlier example that the cost of turnover is six to nine months of the employee’s annual salary, reported ZaneBenefits. That means it costs at least $20,000 to recruit and train an employee whose salary is $40,000 annually.
Don’t worry about budgets now. Or even fine-tuned messages. Call us and we’ll help. That’s why we’re here.
