Adjust the Thermostat

Want to support your employees in being more creative and productive? Adjust the thermostat.

One study showed that workplace productivity fluctuates wildly depending on office temperature. Being too hot makes you sleepy and sluggish. Too cold and, according to one Cornell study, people make more errors.

The ideal temp? Just under 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Interestingly enough, the idea of “perfect office temperature” has long followed a model developed in the 1960s based on the resting metabolic rate of a 40-year-old man of average weight. That model seems a bit outdated today, when nearly every company is angling for more diversity in its ranks.

As a recruiter, I can certainly attest that the 154-pound, 40-year-old man is no longer the mainstream norm of recruitment.

Of course, like everything else in life, the “perfect temperature” is a personal choice, and as any romantic couple knows, one person’s “I need a sweater” is another’s “It’s too hot in here!” Right?
