Chat to the Office Furniture Suppliers in Johannesburg About Modern Office Space Design
When it comes to office planning, furniture, and satisfying the needs and comfort of employees, it’s important to take collaboration and communication into consideration. As times have changed, and business owners and management teams have become more aware of the needs of the modern business, the concept of streamlining workflow and setting up an ergonomic and comfortable workspace has become more accepted and sought after. The more interactive teams and departments can be in the workplace, the more productive the workplace will be. Your first step in the process is to seek out the services of office furniture suppliers in Johannesburg that have experience in space and layout planning.
The idea when furnishing modern office spaces is to cater to the various types of meetings and interactions that staff members are going to have along the way from day to day. Let’s take a look at some of these:
- Impromptu at-desk meetings – unplanned meetings often happen at an individual’s desk. This can be to check on progress, provide advice, or discuss issues and projects. For this type of meeting, you need to ensure that additional seating is available, as well as desk space for sharing files and making notes.
- Stand-up meetings / meetings on the move – meetings don’t have to happen in formal rooms with seating and desks. In fact, a quick stand-up meeting can be handled quickly and get better results. Tall and narrow, or round tables are great for handling any documentation required. Seating isn’t required, but tall bar-type stools can be perfectly suited to this space. You can incorporate a white board for brainstorming sessions and notes, and have a few storage cabinets and shelves.
- Boardroom meetings – these are usually smart corporate spaces that need to be comfortably furnished. Soft, corporate chairs, a sleek veneer or laminate wooden desk, storage/filing cabinets and side tables are essential in this space. Also, make sure that you look into proper lighting for the room. Make sure that there is storage available for presentation equipment and accessories too.
- Wi-Fi / Cloud zones – this is a great type of space to create in your office, as it can benefit both your employees and your customers. Simply create a comfortable lounge-type area with a large coffee table, side tables, occasional chairs, couches, and perhaps even one or two tall cocktail type tables with stools. A tea and coffee station and a printer station are also nice touches in this area.
- Print / Scan / Copy / Fax stations – unfortunately it’s not always possible to provide a printer or multifunctional device for every desk or department. By creating a central zone to place these items of equipment, you can ensure that all employees benefit from the devices. In case there are a few print jobs or faxes needing to be sent at once, make sure that you include some comfortable seating, as well as some storage cupboards for printer/scanner/fax machine consumables.
