An Aesthetic Workplace

People and Businesses run with real emotions, and, minus the emotions, we are as good as robots with 'Artificial Emotions'. Until we are not taken over fully by 'Artificial Intelligence', we have to be sensitive to the people around us.

Think of a 'deja-vu' moment at your workplace that took you back through the memory lanes of the 'best days of your life'. Did this refreshing memory not trigger a deep rooted emotion associated with that experience? Did this nostalgic feeling not impact your behaviour and influence your performance at the workplace? Well, there have been several interesting researches that have laid emphasis over the fact that there is a direct correlation between the five senses of the human body and workplace productivity. Any present day experience with a striking similarity with a situation / experience from the past, tends to influence our behaviour in the present, such that it would most likely be an instinctive reaction in response to the associated 'emotion action' interconnection imprinted in our memory.

The Five Senses

We all have our highs and lows. But then, as we progress in our careers, we also rank our work experiences, calibrated by a self-defined benchmark. The emotion attached with such a benchmark is again a product of our five senses; Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste and Touch. The gut feeling that we usually talk of as the sixth sense, is a result of our subconscious mind at play, which is programmed by our five senses and the resultant experiences.
