It would be easy to run businesses if setting up competent infrastructure was all it took. However, with people being the backbone of all business operations, augmenting high quality infrastructure with an efficient workforce is the key to having a competitive advantage. This especially holds true for labour-intensive operations such as warehousing and light manufacturing.

Providing human centric industrial park amenities is a strategic move with dual benefits. It enhances employee satisfaction, fostering a positive work culture, improving productivity, and aiding in talent retention. Simultaneously, it elevates the perceived value of the industrial park for tenants, promoting satisfaction and lease renewals.

Here are the common industrial park amenities designed for efficiency and comfort, and their long-term impact on the workforce and business operations.

Landscape Amenities to Increase Productivity

Employee Satisfaction: A content and satisfied workforce is a productive one. Access to on-site amenities allows employees to take breaks in a comfortable environment, fostering a sense of well-being.

Enhanced Productivity: These could be areas that foster congregating, meditation, or relaxation. Industrial park amenities that promote physical well-being, such as green gardens, shaded walking pathways, serene ponds, and on-site gyms, can significantly impact productivity in a warehouse. These features ensure that employees have spaces that provide much deserved breaks from the monotony of the warehouse interiors to overcome risk of fatigue and discomfort during long working hours.

Improved Quality of Life: Open spaces like open-gyms and gardens offer opportunities for a relaxed physical movement, which boosts energy levels and overall vitality. Industrial park amenities like these go a long way in positively impacting productivity by reducing stress levels and providing opportunities for relaxation. Employees who have access to amenities that cater to their well-being are more likely to be focused and motivated during working hours.

Service Amenities and Road Infrastructure for Continuous Operations

Ancillary Utilities: There are multiple ancillary utilities that contribute to an industrial park’s efficiency. As an industrial park developer, we offer utilities like individual DG sets, transformers, pump rooms, STPs, flush tanks and more.

Environment Sustainability: Additionally, industrial park developers also provide sustainable systems such as water and wastewater management systems that minimise resource consumption and mitigate pollution.

Road Infrastructural InAmenities: Grade A industrial and logistics parks, infrastructural amenities such as good clearances for truck circulation, wide roads, legible traffic signage, and well-maintained paved surfaces are all crucial to facilitate smooth transportation and logistics within a facility, and to support efficient goods and personnel movement.

An optimised road infrastructure minimises congestion, reduces transportation costs, improves overall logistical efficiency and reducing unnecessary downtimes.

Convenience Amenities to Foster Social Well-Being

Enhance Business Operation: By prioritising employee well-being and creating a supportive work environment, industrial parks can cultivate a motivated and engaged workforce capable of achieving peak performance and driving overall business success. They also enhance productivity, boost employee retention and curb attrition rates.

Food Services: For instance, in-house cafeterias with healthy food options ensure that employees have access to nutritious meals without needing to leave the premises, saving time, and promoting healthier eating habits. Personal lockers for storage and creche services further streamline employees’ daily routines, reducing distractions or conflicts and allowing them to focus more fully on their work tasks.

Bonus Impact: Tenant Satisfaction and Retention

As an industrial park developer, our tenants rely on us to offer them a seamless business experience. As part of our business proposition, Horizon Industrial Parks promises our customers the freedom to focus on their core operations while we step in as their facility management partner and deal with the other ancillary operations.

Our facility management services include streamlining park safety and security, enforcing robust upkeep and doing preventive maintenance of the utilities, and ensuring that the park is aesthetically well maintained. Over that, we also conduct a healthy amount of tenant well-being, awareness and engagement activities which bring a breath of fresh air into the daily routine of the tenant employees. Activities like these also foster a sense of belonging and community within the park employees, who otherwise may not have avenues of socialisation and collaboration with other people in the park.

All these add tremendously to our tenants’ satisfaction allowing us to forge long-term and sustained relationships with them.
