Does Your Company Encourage Creativity And Innovation?

 An inspiring workspace triggers creativity and innovation. Additionally, the more you encourage and support creative thinking at your company, the more it becomes an essential part of your company culture—and an attractive prospect for future employees who value individuality and welcome ideas from everyone.

Innovation is important because it instantly differentiates your products and services from those of your competitors. For customers and clients to choose your business, your offer needs to be distinct and valuable, and the only way to achieve this is through innovation. Innovation can present itself in the form of a collaborative plug and play workspace!

Creativity can help a company manage tasks better, improve staff performance and create quality products. It is also vital in fostering a likeable and aspirational brand image. With consumers now able to get a snapshot of what company life is like, businesses need to be able to depict their inner culture in a way that makes it seem appealing.

If you want happy, productive and prized members in your team, you need to start igniting their creativity to get them motivated. Given below are some tips to get started:

1. Have A Creative Environment:

First, create an environment that encourages creativity. Consider decorating one area of your office with some nice, bright colours. Designate that area to your employees, giving your team some sense of ownership. Or better still, work in spaces which are designed to stimulate creativity like an aesthetic coworking space!

2. Build Trust:

It’s tough to work in a stressful work environment, and even tougher to feel committed to an organization’s mission when you don’t feel supported. If people do not trust you or your organization, they are unlikely to use their creative ideas to drive your success.

By treating people fairly and acknowledging their perspectives, you can help people feel good about working with you, to have more loyalty toward you, and to genuinely care about innovating for your organization.

3. Have Fun While Working:

Allow your team to play. You can have coloured markers, flip charts, Lego, play dough, paint, music; anything that sparks the creative process during brainstorm sessions. If you are choosing a shared office space, breakout areas are a fantastic area to conduct some unwinding activities.

4. Encourage Collaboration:

A major benefit of collaboration is that people with different skills and knowledge can figure out creative ways to combine their assets in solving problems. Some of your team members may be better at identifying the problem.

Others may be skilled at determining which tools to use to address a problem, while others are best at communicating changes and attempting new solutions. Some might be the ones to build the solution! By constantly interacting and sharing information, it’s likely that your employees create something new and valuable.

5. Host Brainstorming Sessions:

Create a board where you have goals or strategies that your company is striving for and each week you can focus on one goal or problem to solve or work on. Following that conduct a fortnightly meeting at your coworking space where you can brainstorm around meeting that goal. This gives your team the right intention before entering your meeting.

6. Teamwork:

Consider giving your team some work in advance where you have one agenda for the meeting and they all have to contribute with one suggestion or solution to...read more
