Office Design & Build Out Tips
Getting the right office design and build out is all about creating a professional, functional and comfortable office space that also projects the right first impression with clients and all who visit you.
Studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between comfort and staff productivity, and moving into a new office is the ideal time to re-think your office space organization, layout, traffic flow and consider implementing new office furnishings.
Use these invaluable Office Design & Build Out Tips to help you plan, organize and design your new office space:
Utilize ergonomic office furniture to help your staff members feel comfortable and safe in order for them to perform their duties more productively. Maximize the quality and quantity of natural daylight and install suitable dimmable lighting fixtures with motion sensors to save energy and costs. Ask for staff feedback about how their workstations might be better arranged; consider using anti-glare display screens, lamps and footrests to improve comfort.
Ask your Office Design Team to carry out a one-to-one review with each staff member to see how their chairs, desks, monitors etc might be re-adjusted to avoid repetitve stress incidents. This will also help reduce overall absentism. Look at the location of your employers versus office equipment that they regularly use.
Getting this balance right will improve the flow of your workplace. How easy is it for workers to move about in the workplace? Open areas and line-up desks make it easier for communication. Look at ways to reduce noise levels using carpets, panels and ceiling tiles to absorb the noise and reduce distraction.
It's important to plan your new office design thoroughly with a professional Office Design Team to enable you to make the most of your new environment and reap the benefits of a comfortable and productive workplace.
