Office aesthetics are a major selling point when looking to draw in new employees, as the way your workplace environment looks often says a lot about your company and culture.

When someone walks into an office, it's important they think "I want to be a part of this." And if your office isn't up to par, people will take notice. Indeed, it only takes 1/10 of a second for someone to have a lasting negative impression on your company based on your office, according to a recent survey conducted by British manufacturer CMD.

Check out CMD's infographic below on more insight on how your office is impacting your business and how you can change it.
