The American Society of Interior Design (ASID), conducted a study that indicated that 68% of employees complain about the lighting in their offices.
Through their research, they established the positive effects of lighting design, and how it has helped in employee performance.
ASID CEO Randy Fiser, Hon. FASID, said, “The overall design of this space was driven by the research and data collected during pre-occupancy and its success is demonstrated through the post-occupancy data. ASID is committed to sharing updated evaluations as we continue to enhance our employee experience and improve workplace utilization.”
Dim lighting can strain your eyes and cause headaches, lowering productivity. It also leads to drowsiness and lack of focus. On the other hand, harsh lighting triggers a migraine.
