Top 4 Office Design Tips that Can Make a Big Difference
June 27, 2013Here at OEG Interiors we have been helping businesses across the West of England improve through intelligent office design for over thirty years, and in that time we have gained an in-depth knowledge of how to get the best out of people.
Read on as we detail four of our top tips for making a genuine difference in your workplace.
Tip #1: Utilise natural light and space
A lack of exposure to natural light can have a significant impact on the mood and productivity of your workforce so make sure that you make use of it as much as possible in your office.
The same goes for space, as not enough of this can also leave your staff feeling uncomfortable and stressed, and this includes both the size of the desk and ‘circulation space’.
Tip #2: Create break-out spaces
Sometimes we just need to get away from our desks and clear our heads – especially if we’re feeling stressed or not particularly creative.
Break-out spaces can provide an area for people to communicate with each other and shake off the restraints and barriers put in place by staying at your desk all day. Great ideas often arise from these spontaneous and casual conversations so make the most of them.
Tip #3: Avoid clutter
Clutter and a lack of organisation can be one of the biggest causes of workplace stress so it is essential that you keep things tidy. Implement appropriate levels of storage as well as policies to avoid clutter building up in the first place.
Tip #4: Cheap furniture will NOT save you money
If you think that buying budget office furniture will save you money you’d be wrong. Poor quality seating and desks cause employee discomfort which can significantly affect their productivity as well as lead to increased absence.
