Is your office an icebox? It could be costing you. A study from Cornell tested the impact of temperature on productivity, finding that when working in temperatures below 68°, employees made 44% more mistakes than at an optimal room temperature of 77°
More than discomfort, the cold becomes a distraction that pulls you out of your workflow. Other research has shown that temperatures outside of a comfortable range (somewhere between 70 and 77) causes at least a 5% drop in overall productivity.
