Organizations are placing more emphasis on employee well-being as "employee well-being has a significant impact on organizational performance and survival". (Grant, Christianson, & Price, 2007, p.51). Well-being can be divided into psychological, social, and physical well-being (Grant, Christianson, & Price, 2007), and by promoting well-being it is possible to cultivate a group of happier and healthier employees. These staff are proven to be more productive and reduce costs incurred by high absenteeism and illness. (Baron,2006; Grant, Christianson, & Price,2007) Companies that rely heavily on computers and have long office hours are identified as a growth sector associated with the increase in work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and “these companies represent 30% of the total accident cases in 2005” (Robertson,Ciriello,Garabet, 2013, P.73). Furthermore, the prolonged use of computers, which is also increasing, will mean that a greater number of employees will develop computer vision syndrome (CVS), such as eye strain and blurring (Robertson, Ciriello, Garabet, 2013; Anshel, 2006). International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is one such example where employees tend to spend long hours in the office with computers due to the nature of their work. Therefore, this paper serves to explore how improving the physical environment can bring benefits to both IBM employees and employers who value employee well-being by creating a healthier work environment that generates greater productivity and greater happiness. Mendlowitz stated the importance of “having an orderly, clean and comfortable work environment......middle of paper......06, p.24). Therefore, improving the physical environment should be done to improve employee well-being and happiness. In conclusion, it is observed that there is a positive correlation between improving the physical environment and improving employee well-being. As a result, a happier and healthier workforce is capable of generating greater productivity. One of the factors of great concern for managers is probably the cost. Section 3 addresses this concern by establishing the fact that ergonomics are not always expensive, where simple changes can be equally effective. Furthermore, when we consider the benefits, we realize that an improved physical environment actually generates cost savings with a positive cost-benefit ratio. Therefore, keeping all this in mind, suitable changes should be made to xxx's workplace to create a happier and more effective workplace.
