How about transforming the company's break room into a healing space on a low budget?

Surprisingly low priority? Recommendations for introducing natural sounds into the "break room."

What kind of space do you want the break room in your workplace or office to be? When we speak with company representatives, they often express the desire for a break room that can enhance employee productivity. While this is a common keyword mentioned by most representatives, it is also true that they find it very challenging to choose "truly effective" options within a limited budget. When we conduct interviews with people from various departments regarding the break room, we often hear comments such as: - The surrounding noise is too loud. - I can't relax due to the sounds made by others. - I'm bothered by the sounds and smells of food during meals. These are frequently heard keywords, but we wonder if simply addressing these complaints can actually improve productivity. Many company representatives consider introducing items like televisions, but similar to music, things that are influenced by "individual preferences" often lead to mixed feelings of comfort and discomfort. As a result, we frequently hear that such efforts did not have much significance.
