Introduction

What are Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)?

  • The KTP is a scheme managed by the Government’s agency for innovation

(Innovate UK), in which a graduate (me) pairs up with a business (Mitie) and an academic institution (Sheffield Hallam) to help improve the business’s competitiveness and productivity.

  • The aim of this 3-year research project is to explore the effects of the

workplace environment on employee productivity and wellbeing

The Environmental Demands- Resources (ED-R) Model

Focus for research

  • How can we understand what constitutes a “demand” or a “resource” for

different types of knowledge worker?

  • What strategies can we use to minimise demands and maximise resources in

the workplace environment?

QUESTION ONE

How can we understand what constitutes a “demand” or a “resource” for different types of knowledge worker?

Employee-Workplace Alignment

The role of individual differences

  • We explored the relationship between employee characteristics

(demographics, personality, task type) and workplace requirements in two studies.

Harnessing IoT Technology

  • Due to developments in wireless

sensor technology, we can now monitor key indoor environment parameters in real time

  • Live data from thousands of

sensors can be viewed using a simple online portal

  • Environmental problems can be

identified immediately, prompting remedial action

Supporting occupant comfort using wireless environmental sensors

Closing the Feedback Loop

  • Traditional modes of assessing the

workplace environment (e.g.

  • ccupant surveys) provide limited

contextual information

  • The feedback is rarely acted upon

by practitioners

  • Repeated assessments of

momentary perceptions (e.g. via smartphones) could provide more useful and actionable data

Improving communication between workplace occupants and practitioners

FUTURE PLAN

Bringing together the two strands of research

slide-17

Ongoing Research

Research questions currently being explored:

  • To what extent does adherence to comfort policy improve occupant

environmental comfort?

  • Can we improve the predictive strength of the models by including

individual difference characteristics?

  • Which aspects of environmental comfort are most strongly associated with

stress and productivity?
