  Who knew Vanilla Ice lyrics could also double as the recipe for a successful business strategy? Your office environment is responsible for the quality of work you put out, so it’s important that your space serves the needs of your team.

In this article, our team of modern workplace designers in NJ will discuss ways you can successfully create areas within your office that enforce collaboration, concentration, and relaxation.

  Great office design has many important elements that contribute to a successful workplace. One element that has been making headlines lately is that of sustainability. The idea of leaving the office better than we found it through environmentally safe practices and materials. We spend a significant amount of time at the office, so it only makes sense to make sure this environment is a healthy and safe one. Here’s how you can incorporate sustainability through your modern office design:  Monitor and reduce energy consumption within the office. First, take a look at your energy bills and see where you can make improvements each month. If there is excess electricity use, try turning off lights and electronics when not in use, using natural lighting whenever possible, and upgrading to energy-efficient devices. On the other hand, if your heating and cooling is the problem, it may be time to look into an energy management system that gives you the ability to control your HVAC...

Designing your office used to follow this line of thinking, “how many computer and desk set-ups could I fit into my office space?” A great example of this outdated ideology would be the set of the hit TV Show  The Office , where everywhere you looked you saw a boxy office cubicle and somebody who looked less than thrilled to sit in it. Thankfully, office design has come a long way. Now, more importance is placed on balancing function with design – and luckily one doesn’t have to dictate the other. In this article, our team of modern office designers will discuss how you can successfully incorporate both technology and progressive design elements into your modern workspace.  Workstations that Configure and Reconfigure  First and foremost, we recommend really sitting down and planning out the ideal layout of your space.

COVID-19 was a wake-up call for many who realized that the 9-5 corporate grind wasn’t for them. Millennials abandoned the workforce in droves early on in favor of more work/life balance. But that tide has largely peaked and it’s no longer just the millennials who are having this epiphany. Older workers over 50 have jumped on the bandwagon, with many of those leaving corporate America these days. As with many millennials, older workers want to create an environment that works for them. We see this every day and we’ve been at the forefront of helping start-ups and businesses negotiate the work/life balance, creating environments that make for a fun, friendly and flexible workspace.
