Except for seeking new talented people, it is also important to maintain the already hired employees, who are valuable to a company. It is a role of internal Employer Branding. Numerous tactics are used for that purpose. One of them is investment in office design. Not only does an attractive work place help to maintain the already hired employees but it also contributes to effectiveness of their work. Costs incurred for office design bring benefits in both the short-term and the long-term perspective. Convenient and safe office space contributes to less health problems and thus less absence at work. According to the conducted research, properly designed office is a source of 25 per cent of satisfaction among hired people and it has a real impact on their efficiency, respectively by 5 per cent for single physical persons and 11 per cent for teams2 – explains Tomasz Pater.
