How lab operators can retain expert staff and improve work results



Clean, sterile and fully functional - the laboratory is probably not one of those workplaces we initially associate with excellent design. But this assumption is way off the mark because laboratories are not only cutting edge places when it comes to technology; when fitting out their laboratories, more and more operators are now also placing an emphasis on attractive design in order to improve the quality of the workplace. Good workplace quality motivates employees to perform better and also helps companies acquire sought-after qualified personnel.



Achieve success with pleasure - Employee motivation as success factor

Efficient work depends primarily on the commitment of the employees. This is especially true for laboratories. Along with their qualifications, it is the deciding factor for the quality of their work. Whether it is the pharmaceutical or chemical industry, or medical technology, the tasks are becoming increasingly complex and the need for well-trained and qualified personnel is rising continuously. Also In the laboratory industry, the battle to recruit highly-qualified employees has been raging for some time. It is not only about recruiting young talent. Long-term, it is imperative, that companies and organisations retain these employees, together with their knowledge and their skills.



Workplace quality takes centre stage

Studies, including those conducted by StepStone, have shown that a pleasant environment as well as high-quality furnishing of the workplace are now deemed by job applicants to be more important than for example financial aspects. No wonder! - Nowadays, people spend more time at their workplace than they do anywhere else. High standards in the workplace, i.e. a modern, appealing, healthy and not least, comfortable work environment is thus a key motivation factor - and reflects that employees are recognised and appreciated.



The laboratory chair as the key to enthusiastic employees

Examining, testing and analysing - the utmost concentration is required when working in the laboratory. Employees must be able to rely on their laboratory chair or laboratory standing rest at all times. In addition to the technical aspects, they should also enjoy using it every day, as nothing connects people more to the quality of the workplace than the chair on which they sit. Laboratory operators who also want to offer their staff a genuine quality solution in terms of design can be certain that the investment made in an excellent laboratory chair will pay off. This will come about in the short term with higher employee motivation and thus excellent performance, in the medium term with sustained satisfaction, and in the long term with the retention of expert staff, which is an invaluable asset for the laboratory.
