How your office is designed to support your business is critical to the efficiency and prosperity of the business.

Renting your space is expensive, very expensive even. It is therefore important that each square meter is used to the best advantage. Think about the purpose of each section of your office:

  • Are there enough opportunities to vary work practices?
  • Can the right balance between work and relaxation be maintained?

1. Focus

Everyone needs a place to have a good time away from the hustle and bustle. However, with the open spaces allowing instant access to all, this can create some difficulties.

It is important to allow tasks that require concentration to be able to take place in a suitable place in the office.

For this type of work, there is little room for flexibility; when you need absolute calm and focus, there can be no exception for disturbance or background noise. Small quiet areas or private cabins can provide support for those who need to take some time to focus on the task at hand.

2. Exchange

How you welcome customers, visitors, or even other team members around your space has a direct impact on your company's image. Reception rooms or customer-oriented meeting rooms can be an essential asset in how you present your business to others.

3. Recharge your batteries

Depending on when your lease ends, you may need to consider how you will manage your office when you expand. Underused areas are expensive because you are sacrificing space that could support your team. The best way to deal with this problem is to assess how you are using space:

  • What is not?
