So, people naturally would like to be as comfortable as possible while completing daily tasks.

A great way to impact the atmosphere of the work place is to give the area a makeover. This can be done on a very low cost budget. Some good ideas to start with are opening up the area with natural sunlight or knocking down cubicles or even dramatically changing the theme of a restaurant. Another great option would be to switch up the colors and or themes of the space. If paint jobs are out of the question because of the mess it causes, an excellent alternative with less mess would be panels of fake brick.
