The modern office space is rapidly changing to keep pace with advances in technology, new modes of work, and the expectations of employees. Today's work spaces are more shared, and conducive to creating an air of collaboration and team-building.

One essential aspect of these modern break rooms are items, games, and seating arrangements that help employees to better relax during their break time, and which emphasize bonding between employees during these breaks. These spaces allow workers to recharge faster,  better, and allows them to build relationships more effectively with one another.

An effective trick to spicing up the break room and boosting its efficacy is to make it focused around fun and relaxation (small cooking spaces are common solutions).

As time goes on and new methods are tried, we are finding that perhaps one of the best ways to refocus the brain, link your physical and mental state, enhance concentration, and play with one another, is through an in-office golf simulator.

Why Put a Golf Simulator in the Office?

Anyone who has played golf understands its unique ability to focus your brain away from the issues of the day and onto the task at hand. Golf is challenging in a  way that requires you to concentrate, but fun in a way that will not burn you out. It's also moderately physical without being prone to injuries or missteps. In many ways it is the perfect game to help employees refresh and recharge. The issue, however, is that a typical golf course accounts for something like 150 acres, a bit bigger than your average office floor plan. This is where the modern golf simulators come in.

Modern golf simulators come in all types of sizes and designs, and each brand has their own unique twist on many of the features and accessories. When you are able to find the right one for your office, you will be able to leverage it for a wide array of benefits.

Team Building and Motivation

Many of the better simulators allow you to have multiple players switching off, and others will let pliers compare the best scores on various holes. Unlike passive options, like watching a sports game, a golf simulator allows employees to interact, push themselves, and bond over something unique.

Small Footprint with Big Effects

The right golf simulator can be designed to take up a relatively small space (or to be put away easily) and can quickly transform wasted empty space into a high-value break area. By taking the time to maximize the employee space around fun and comfort, You will show your employees that you value their time and happiness, and the work you get back in productivity should help easily justify such a purchase.

You will be surprised at how much space a normal full entertainment system permanently takes up when compared to a modular simulator system.
