Leading Organization Brand, Mind Reader,
Reveals the Surprising Impact of the Workspace Environment
NEWARK,
N.J., April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
secret to having a stellar workday has been revealed – and it
involves a "neat" way to boost your mood. In anticipation of Get
Organized Day on April 26, a new
survey from Mind Reader, a leading brand in home and office
organization, underscores the critical role that an organized
workspace plays in enhancing employee satisfaction and
productivity. The poll, which surveyed 2,000 U.S. office workers,
reveals that 86 percent think their workspace has an impact on
their happiness, whether at home or in the office. Additionally,
nearly 80 percent take pride in their workspace setup, taking up to
two years to get their space just perfect. Making a couple of easy,
creative changes to the workspace can help lead to a better
workday, as 84 percent feel more productive if their workspace is
organized and – if it were more organized – believe they could
increase their productivity by 38 percent.
"Mind Reader is committed to crafting the ideal workspace for
our consumers – a space that's not only comfortable and organized
but also enhances productivity and overall well-being," said
Glenn Goldberg, Head of Marketing at
Mind Reader. "Our latest survey findings are exciting and
insightful; they underscore the impact of simple, intuitive
workspace solutions on our consumers' ability to flourish and
maintain wellness, even during their busiest days."
From workday happiness to work-from-home vs in-office workspaces
to dream celebrity co-workers – Mind Reader uncovered some of the
most surprising details about how modern Americans are working
today. Check out the full Mind Reader survey results below and what
they reveal about workspace organization across the U.S.
Location, Location, Location
- Nearly half of respondents said they work remotely in some
capacity of their job.
- If they're working from home, 59 percent said they still prefer
to work from a desk, while 18 percent change spots throughout the
day, 17 percent work from their dining room and 16 percent
typically work in bed.
- For those who work in person or in an office setting, they
believe the best parts include:
- Engaging with coworkers (37 percent)
- Feeling more productive (29 percent)
- Feeling more organized (29 percent)
Hybrid Habits
- More than a quarter said they work in a hybrid environment,
splitting their time between their home and an office. Comparing
the two locations, 40 percent said their in-office workspace is
more organized, while 29 percent said their home workspace is more
organized.
- However, hybrid workers spend more time customizing their
at-home workspace than their office workspace – 35 percent,
compared to 27 percent.
- As for remote workers, 50 percent said the best parts of
working from home are not having to commute, 48 percent said
dressing how they want and 36 percent said feeling more
productive.
Workspace Struggles
- While people strive for an organized work environment, the
study found that only 40 percent are 'very satisfied' with their
current workspace.

for unsatisfied respondents, include 48 percent feeling like they
have insufficient space, 34 percent feeling back pain due to
inadequate chairs, and 32 percent unhappy with the messiness.
Personal Organization

organized" but admitted they were personally chaotic. In fact, 61
percent of people felt the most organized in their work and 27
percent felt least organized in their mental health.
- Compared to other aspects of their life, 77 percent said their
workspace is more organized than the rest. Enough so that 47
percent believe their loved ones would be surprised to see just how
organized their workspace is.
What's Trending?

improved their organizational skills.
