No matter how much you try and give staff room to work, there is one equation that simply won’t go away… a fixed amount of space within a growing company will gradually become squeezed if nothing is done. Although, even if a business has a relatively stable headcount, you may still have to deal with a cramped working environment due to misuse of space and office clutter built up over time; all of which can cost the business money in terms of rents and/or a drop in staff morale and productivity.
Creating more space can bring a number of benefits. But, when thinking about how to best do this, it’s vital that you consider your people and design the space in such a way that it allows them to complete their tasks in comfortable surroundings and move about the space freely…
As such, undertaking office space planning on a regular basis should be a priority. Well planned offices not only look impressive, they increase efficiency and create a pleasing and functional environment, a place where people actually want to work…
Trouble finding ‘stuff’ when you need it?
As part of our process we gather information regarding your office space needs, including future growth expectations, current working practices and other considerations. This provides us with valuable information about your business and your existing space utilization; is the furniture fit-for-purpose, are the work areas clutter free, is there ample storage? Our extensive knowledge and experience in this field helps us to ensure that the environment can be planned as cost effectively as possible whilst still creating exciting surroundings for the people using the space. In many cases relatively small adjustments can make all the difference; for example, assessing whether smaller desks can be used in certain areas and/or making use of what was once ‘unused’ space for storage.
Getting the most from your workplace is not about cramming as many people in as possible; it’s about using the space you do have efficiently. You never know, a thorough analysis of your business premises can often reveal you have more space than you thought… Call us on 03300 415 119 for more information, through our discussions we can transform how people work and how people feel.
