Many companies are trading in individual offices and cubicles for wide-open spaces. The reason for the change in layout is bigger than keeping up with trends. Employee retention, happiness, and productivity have become more important than ever. The size and culture of an organization along with the goals and work style play a significant role in determining the best design for your office. Only you can decide what will be the absolute best for your company. If you’re in the market for a commercial remodeling project, take the following into consideration before you start knocking down walls.
Keeping employees engaged takes more than preaching motivation. If an office space is dull and uninviting your employees can begin to feel distant from their work. You don’t need to overhaul your office with gadgets and technology to reel employees back in. When it comes to a remodeling project it’s important to be thoughtful about the basic layout and function of the office.
Consider replacing old carpet, putting on a fresh coat of bright paint, creating more of an open concept, or adding features that will help your employees feel inspired to be at work. This could include a kitchen or an area for employees to relax away from their desks. Having a place to be rejuvenated while limited to an office all day is a great way to keep your team engaged for the entire workweek. Engagement leads to camaraderie which can reduce employee turnover. An office remodel is worth that much to your company!
Meetings, meetings, meetings. You have plenty of them on your calendar every day of the week, but where are you holding all of these meetings? The traditional board room or an individual’s office is not always suitable for creative collaboration. A remodeling project allows you to strategically design an office that will help your employees to meet more comfortably and generate great ideas.
The size of your building will determine how many areas you can have for collaboration. Having more than one will allow for a change of scenery and the ability for multiple teams to meet at once. Perhaps one area has a smaller table with four chairs and another area has a large table with whiteboards and glass walls. Identify the needs and goals of your company and we will work with you to design the best space.
Employee happiness is directly correlated with their productivity. If you could raise sales by 37% and productivity by 31%, would you do it? Redesigning your office space is not the single solution to improving employee happiness but it is a piece of the pie. Carefully consider features that would allow your organization to increase employee happiness and ultimately the productivity. Some elements may be directly linked to an employee’s workspace, like desks and chairs or the collaboration spaces we referenced. Other options include adding a kitchen or snack bar. It could be a big open area for employees to catch up with co-workers or an isolated space to put their mind at ease during a break.
Your office building can be used beyond the Monday through Friday workday hours. A remodeling project is a perfect opportunity to craft a place suitable for events, client meetings, company-wide training, or customer appreciation. Not only will you have a beautiful new office to show off, but you can utilize the renovated space to reach your business goals.
