How to Stay Productive and Motivated in Summer Without Sacrificing Wellbeing
Summer is here, bringing longer days and plenty of personal plans. However, for most companies, business doesn’t stop. So, is it possible to stay productive and motivated during the warmer months without compromising team wellbeing?
At GRAN VIA Business & Meeting Center, we believe summer doesn’t have to mean a drop in performance. On the contrary, it’s a great opportunity to rethink work routines, introduce new habits, and make the most of your workspace to enhance both wellbeing and efficiency. Here are five key strategies to achieve that.
- Adjust routines with more flexibility
One of the best ways to embrace the summer rhythm is by offering more flexible schedules. Options like shorter workdays, hybrid work models, or using workspaces located closer to employees’ homes can make a huge difference. These approaches reduce stress, support work-life balance, and increase employee engagement.
- Change your environment for inspiration
During summer, our surroundings can have a bigger impact on our mood and motivation. Bright, well-ventilated spaces with comfortable communal areas can foster a positive change. At GRAN VIA Business & Meeting Center, our private offices, coworking desks, and multipurpose rooms are designed to offer a professional, inspiring atmosphere that boosts focus and creativity all year round.
- Make the most of outdoor spaces
The opportunity to work or meet outdoors is especially valuable in the summer. At GRAN VIA, our rooftop terrace is one of the most beloved spaces by our members. Spanning over 150 m², it’s perfect for informal meetings, client catch-ups, team breakfasts, or afterwork gatherings. You can also find La Pecera—a unique, glass-enclosed office with views of the Barcelona skyline—and catering services for events, making the experience even more complete.
- Encourage mindful breaks
We always recommend creating opportunities for brief breaks that recharge energy—whether it’s a chat on the terrace or a coffee with colleagues. These micro-pauses help clear the mind, improve focus, and foster a healthier workplace culture.
- Build a lasting culture of wellbeing
Wellbeing should be part of company culture—not just in summer, but year-round. A comfortable, quiet environment with natural light, climate control, and proper rest areas—like the ones at GRAN VIA—helps people feel good at work, stay productive, and remain motivated.
In short, summer doesn’t have to be a time of low productivity. With the right tools and environment, it can become a season of creativity, cohesion, and great results. At GRAN VIA Business & Meeting Center, we’re ready to support your team—offering flexible offices, fully equipped rooms, our signature rooftop terrace, and personalized service to help your work thrive, even under the Barcelona sun.
