Stuck In A Rut At Work? Switch Desks!

It sounds a little too simple, but the research says it works. If things haven't been going so well at the office and productivity is down, just switch desks. By changing where you sit, you'll not only enjoy some new scenery, but your company could also see big benefits.

According to a study from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, shifting where employees sit can lead to a boost of innovation. Desk swaps can place people from different departments closer to each other, which could get them talking about creative ideas and collaborations. The next thing you know, your company might have a new service or product line to offer.

The next time you feel like you're just spinning your wheels at work, ask management if you can roll your chair to a different desk. It could be good for everyone!
