• {{technology_infrastructure}}: List the key hardware, software, and network resources used by employees.
• {{ergonomic_concerns}}: Mention any specific ergonomic problems or areas of discomfort reported.
• {{environmental_factors}}: Note noise levels, lighting, temperature, and other environmental conditions.

Instructions

2. Analyze the provided information to identify potential productivity barriers in the physical workspace, technology, ergonomics, and environmental factors.
3. For each identified issue, explain how it impacts productivity or well-being.
4. Provide prioritized, practical recommendations for improvement, considering cost and ease of implementation.

• Flag any assumptions you make about the workspace.
• Stay within the scope of work environment evaluation; do not delve into unrelated HR or financial matters.
