Does their workplace give them energy? Does it make them drowsy? Is it conducive to honesty? Does it incite loyalty? Is it motivating? Is it stress inducing? Does it maximize productivity? Does the workplace reflect the organization's mission? Are clients or stakeholders reassured when they visit? Does it, however, not echo excess?

Your office, store or factory workers complain too often. They do not seem as productive as they should be. Workflow seems inefficient. Clients, stakeholders or donors do not compliment you on your space or, worse, they opine that it does not reflect your organization's image.

A Work Environment Analysis is a cost–effective means of finding ways of improving your work environment. It reveals how the human being working within it, or interested parties visiting it, perceives the space and how he or she reacts to it. It is used for both specialized spaces and multidisciplinary ones. The analysis can focus on a single room or it can evaluate an entire set of buildings over time. It can deal with the inside only or include the approach and the outside.

In short, a Work Environment Analysis reveals how staff and stakeholders react to or are motivated by a specific work environment.
