Office Design How we can add value to your office space

Professional Office Design Can Boost Productivity in the Workplace

Your office might have everything that you need in it, but you might have set it up all wrong. Consider hiring an office design professional who can advise you on how to layout your office for most productive and convenient workspace. Better yet, if your furniture supplier offers this as a service, then you should certainly take some advice from them. At Quantum Office Furniture, we don’t only sell top-quality furniture items – we also provide our clients with a professional design service where we make use of industry leading software to perfectly redesign your specific office space, taking into account your new and existing furniture to get that look you are after as well as create better functionality and productivity in the workspace.

It is important to ensure that your office’s flow is taken into account. You will want to be able to freely walk through the office without having to side step desks, chairs and other items of furniture. Your designer should be able to advice you on furniture placement and how to optimise the set up so that the most important items are easily accessible from your desk. Providing workers with enough space to complete their tasks is the best to way to boost productivity within the workplace. If you feel that your business is growing, try to keep your workspace flexible. Your design and layout now does not have to be set in stone – you can always change it in a few months to cater to new needs and demands.

It might cost you a little more for a well-designed office space, but it will be less costly than a poorly designed one in the long run. Offices that aren’t well set up will cause frustration and waste time for your staff members. And that ultimately affects the profitability of your business. Below are some tips to creating an office space that your employees will love:

• Capitalise on space and natural light. The more light and breezy the room feels the more comfortable and content your staff members are bound to be.
• Create breakaway zones. These are areas where your staff members can have lunch, get some creative ideas going and generally just step away from their desks for a few minutes to de-stress when the need arises.

• Promote tidiness in the workplace. Equipment and accessories that are used and not put back in their right places can just cause frustrations for others and also create a cluttered and untidy work environment. Encourage staff members to be neat and tidy at all times and ensure that everything has its designated place.

• Don’t be tempted to buy cheap furniture to save money. Your company will be using the furniture that you use for many years. If you want to ensure that you don’t need to replace items quickly, invest in quality furniture. Clients will also be able to tell if you have tried to skimp on costs when it comes to furniture – certainly not an image that you want for your business.

• Brand your workspace effectively. Your staff members will feel more part of a team if your workspace is very clearly branded. Try to keep it clear and classic and ensure that each zone is easily distinguished from the others when setting things up.
