The Lego Group – Employee’s Home of Creativity

For the above working environments, which one are you more prone to work in?

Many companies are attempting hard to survive from the wave of recession by achieving short-term goal and redesigning long term plans. However, many of them have missed the importance of employee morale as a factor to achieve successes. The Lego Group is an example of a successful business that understands this importance and thus creates comfortable environment for the employees.

Employees are definitely one of the most important resources of a company. They are the fountains for innovative ideas and they are the interface between customer and the company. Without their hard work, a company can collapse even if it does posse possibilities.

I agree that there is a positive correlation between the happiness and hard work of employees and the environment of the company. If the company does create an atmosphere that feels like being at home, the worker’s creativity will escalate. According to the article “How the Lego Group has built a creative corporate culture”, the Lego Group designed a workspace that is as open and light as possible. Also, according to the article, employees are allowed to bring their children to work, a policy that helps in decreasing the burden of working parents.

In addition, to reinforce on teamwork, one of the corporate culture of the company, the Lego Group designed corridor areas for employees to have fun and opportunity to chat with co-workers. Through exchanging idea, curiosity, one of the important elements in inventing and designing, is provoked. The environment encourages employees to continue in being playful and energetic, which can promote the continuation of the successful legend of Lego.
