TimesLive reports that a survey of office workers across SA has revealed the five things employees most want from their office space and 42% said more natural light was the most important element.  

Linda Trim, director of office architects Giant Leap, said the survey was carried out late last year and queried more than 3,000 office workers.  Trim commented: "It's so simple but often design gets so caught up in the fancier things that people forget the importance of sunlight to our sense of wellbeing.  This is especially true in the workplace, where traditionally there has been a focus on issues of layout and safety - important factors, but not the only elements affecting happiness at work."  Second on the list was "quiet working spaces", at 22%.  Third "was a view of the sea", at 20%.
