Would you like to work in a team that tackles creative and unconventional challenges, where employees are friendly, smiley, and creative, where they are satisfied with their work, aim to be effective and successful, and where there is a spirit of a true team that is continuously evolving?
\nOf course, yes.<\/p>\n

We deal with management, labor organization, and HR issues. Our specialization is teams and companies that create intellectual products. Our clients want to work in such teams, build such teams, and manage such companies.<\/p>\n

Also, because such companies have greater operational efficiency, profit per employee, and higher chances of success in competitive battles. These companies are also referred to as teal organizations.<\/p>\n

And this is where we start. <\/b>
\nWe often begin with questions about managing the work environment.
\nThe concept is simple: there are factors that hinder work \u2014 they need to be gradually mitigated, and there are factors that promote work \u2014 they need to be included and gradually activated.
\nThe key word is gradually. Step by step. Systematically.<\/p>\n

Details below.
\n<\/a><\/noindex>
\nOf course, we know about Kanban, dashboards, KPIs, project management, and SCRUM.
\nBut there are fundamental factors that can bring us closer to friendliness, creativity, and the effectiveness of the team and company more quickly, easily, and cheaply.
\nOf course, without canceling SCRUM.<\/p>\n

So, the questions about managing the work environment.<\/p>\n

First question. What about the microclimate? <\/b><\/p>\n

No, not in the team. But in terms of the physical and chemical characteristics of the air in the office?<\/p>\n

The problem is that in good and very good offices in Moscow, it is usually warm, dry, and has low oxygen levels. Why? Cultural habits or the typical settings of the ventilation and air conditioning systems, or climate features where for 9 months a year either heating or air conditioning is in operation.<\/p>\n

Let's take a closer look. Air temperature.<\/u>
\nThe optimal temperature that stimulates active brain activity is up to +21\u00b0C.
\nA typical office temperature \u2014 above +23\u00b0C \u2014 is ideal for falling asleep, but not for working.
\nFor comparison: in offices in Shanghai, Singapore, the UAE, etc., it is quite cool according to our standards \u2014 below +20\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Relative air humidity. <\/u>
\nTypical office humidity, especially with air conditioning or heating in operation, is less than 50%.
\nNormal for a healthy person: 50-70%.
\nWhy is this important? When humidity is low in the respiratory tract, the rheology of mucus changes (it becomes dry), local immunity decreases, and consequently, susceptibility to respiratory infections increases.
\nOne humidifier in the office saves at least one working week spent battling ARVI (when calculated over a year).<\/p>\n

About carbon dioxide.<\/u> As the concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the human CNS gradually becomes depressed, causing a kind of sleepiness. Why is there so much of it in offices? Because ventilation and air conditioning are different things. And the first often doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

The second question. Water.<\/b><\/p>\n

The water-salt balance is a very significant factor in the functioning of the brain and the entire body. 80% of the drips given in hospitals worldwide are saline solutions. And they help.
\nMost offices have drinking water, though not always.<\/p>\n

But there are nuances. Psychological and cultural.
\nImagine: the cooler is in the next office, five meters away.
\nIs this a problem? Yes.
\nPeople sitting near the cooler consider the water 'theirs' due to a genetically conditioned habit of protecting their source from outsiders. Therefore, going five meters is a stressor for the thirsty and an additional cause of aggression for the 'guards'. This is how interdepartmental confrontations begin, genetically predetermined.<\/p>\n

Cultural nuance. In Russia, it is not customary to drink water. A person drinking water attracts close attention: something is wrong with them. Drinking tea or coffee is normal. Water \u2013 not so much.<\/p>\n

However, coffee and tea have a marked diuretic effect \u2013 that is, they effectively remove water from the body. As a result: the more coffee without water, the worse the brain functions. Although American and European habits of carrying water not only for fitness but also for meetings are gradually taking root.
\nConclusion: water must be freely available to everyone without 'guards'.<\/p>\n

The third question. Where can you eat?<\/b><\/p>\n

This topic is so obvious yet poorly addressed.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to delve into the specifics of healthy eating, but the theses with which most specialists agree are as follows:<\/p>\n
