The Real Reason for Your Always-Messy Workplace

 

In some offices, the clutter has been there for so long that no-one even sees it anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s not affecting the workplace. There are many reasons for this, but in our experience, it almost always comes back to an office concept that just doesn’t fit the culture and operations of the company. Maybe you’ve grown in both business and personnel. Maybe a cubicle farm isn’t the right solution for the younger generation workers. That’s where we come in! Here’s how to solve your messy office.

Your workplace doesn’t fit your purpose

A lot has changed over the last year or two, and with the Great Resignation and the changing values of younger generations, it’s no surprise that your office just isn’t working for you anymore.

Take a moment to think about where your business is heading:

  • Are you developing remote teams? The benefits of remote working are great for employees and employers alike, offering better work-life balance, no commute, reduced need for expensive office space, and more. Some employees may be moved out of the office entirely, while others come in for specific tasks or projects. This can have a considerable impact on spaces designed for large numbers of employees or for collaboration that are no longer required.

  • Are you hiring people outside your geographic location? With remote working taking off, organizations are reimagining the structure of the workplace and accessing talent from different cities and geographic locations. Some businesses are considering hub-and-spoke designs, or locating certain operations in different hubs around the state or country. This means certain spaces require more task or operations-based furnishings and equipment, and that other equipment is no longer necessary.

  • Are you offering more flexibility? Employers are also recognizing the benefits of offering employees more flexibility, whether it means coming in for reduced hours, on certain days, or even for certain functions. This means that workplaces designed for onsite employees need to be adapted for the new needs of the business and its employees. Some businesses might only have employees come into work for collaborative meetings, so individual desks might not be necessary anymore. In other cases employees might be coming in on different days, and rather than personal desks for everyone, you might have an open workspace with various different desking options.

All of these have a significant impact on your office design. People now need to be able to swap in and out of the office easily, and need equipment and furnishings for specific office-based tasks or events. A lot of equipment and furnishings may be redundant by this move, causing clutter or spaces that aren’t suiting your needs anymore. If your office design hasn’t been reworked for your new structure and operations, the result can leave you with a big mess.

Let’s give your office a new purpose through innovative design!

The age of the office isn’t over, but it’s certainly been transformed. Office design must move with these changes to keep these spaces performing the way they need to – providing space for one-on-one interaction, team collaboration, access to leadership, operational essentials, and more.

In Every Pandemic, There’s an Opportunity

  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...
