Principles of Office Space Layout
There are many things to consider when planning the layout of your office. Office layout can have a huge impact on staff morale, productivity, as well as how visitors and clients perceive your company.
The Office Design Guide offers practical considerations of what you should take into account when planning the layout of an office space.
Office Space Layout - Basic Principles
Light
Make best use of natural light by positioning workstations close to windows. This will encourage employees to have a more positive attitude towards their work.
Good Flow of Communication
Whether you choose to go open plan or not, a good flow of communication between your workforce is absolutely essential. Position teams and individuals close to those who share clients and projects so that communication is easy and accessible. Decide which teams work best alongside each other and plan your layout accordingly.
Break Out Areas
Having an area where staff can relax, chat and take a break is important. Break out areas can look stylish and modern too and offer a more informal alternative to meeting rooms.
Lobby Areas
Pay close attention to detail when it comes to the layout of your lobby area. Visitors and clients need to get the right first-impression of you. If there is a waiting area for clients, consider if they will be looking out onto your workforce and the impression that creates.
To ensure you create the very best office layout, get expert advice from an Office Design Company.
