Get Input from Your Staff Before Implementing a New Office Design



Your employees are a fantastic resource for ideas when you’re considering an office remodel – after all, they use your space and support your brand every day! Here are some questions to ask your staff before your project begins, from our contemporary office design team.

  • Does your workstation work for you? A workstation can make a job easier or much harder to do depending on its design. Asking this question will help make choosing workstations that improve productivity and benefit your employees.
  • Do you have enough storage? Clutter is distracting, and a disorganized office is an unproductive one. By adding practical storage where it’s needed, you can make your office more productive and more efficient.
  • Who do you need to communicate with most? This is about breaking silos and putting people into more efficient, more collaborative spaces. Bringing the right people closer together through practical office design makes collaboration and communication easier, whether it’s between teams, departments or even floors. It can also show you if you need more brainstorming or meeting spaces for your teams.
  • Do you have enough break-away space? Office break-away spaces, including the kitchen, eating and casual meeting spaces are critical to maintain wellness, comfort and communication in your organization. There needs to be enough space to meet employee needs and it needs to be positioned away from quiet zones. Too little space can be frustrating and difficult to use, too much means some space can be reallocated to meet other needs.
  • What are your frustrations with the current design? This is a great way to get some diverse input to inspire your design in ways you may not have considered. Your employees may want ergonomic desks and chairs, sit-stand desks, different colors or better natural lighting through glass architectural walls. Simple changes, like introducing local art, dedicating a space to a wellness program or introducing certain tech can transform your space and your employee’s approach to their work. It’s also a great way to help employees feel valued and part of the team.

5 Ways You Can Boost Productivity With The Right Workplace Arrangement

  For most employees, just like most businesses, success and growth are priorities. The productivity of employees feeds directly into big-picture business goals, creating a cycle that drives businesses to achieve more. Unfortunately, only 13% of the global workforce is actively engaged and satisfied with their workplace arrangement. Taking the time to invest in a workplace arrangement that supports this cycle is essential, improving job satisfaction, reducing turnover and burnout, boosting productivity, and most importantly, encouraging a  safe return to work during COVID-19 . Of course, developing your workplace environment is not a quick or inexpensive solution – but it is a critical one if you want to achieve these goals.

In Every Pandemic, There’s an Opportunity

Image
  If you were considering an office-buildout before the pandemic hit, having lived through it can only be considered a blessing. At BE Builds, we’ve seen our clients designing workspaces that are dramatically different than the ones they would’ve designed just 12 months ago. Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace. And these enhancements are not just a temporary investment due to the pandemic –...

The Benefits Of Using Collaborative Office Furniture To Design Your Creative Space

A collaborative office space has been shown to improve colleague relationships, work-flow and overall productivity. When it comes to transforming an office space into a new-age collaborative set-up, the heart of it all will be the collaborative furniture that you choose.  Collaborative office furniture  needs to complement the design of the space and, most importantly, promote efficiency within the workplace. Using Collaborative Furniture to Build the Space Most will agree that the main consideration to keep in mind when creating a well-functioning office space lies in finding a steady balance between work areas and storage areas. While most traditional offices keep these two aspects of the business separate, most collaborative furniture will offer built in storage options in order to accommodate both. Another consideration to keep in mind is investing in the right sizes when it comes to collaborative workspace furniture. The sizes which you select should depend on the...
