7 Tips to Optimise Your Office Space Planning

Technology

Arranging your furniture according to how you want it will get messy if you don’t take into consideration the building’s wiring and plugs. Computer and phone plugs need to be easily accessible for employees. So don’t neglect the technological provisions of the space.

Lighting

Lighting is an important factor that is usually neglected. People prefer to add in fancy lights that will “light up” the place. What is usually not understood is that natural light is the best option one can have for their workspace. A skylight in a closed space or a window that can be accommodated will act as the best light source for the workspace.

Coworking

Isolated and sensory deprived workstations are not as productive as one thinks. 71% of people who switched to a type of coworking reported feeling more productive and creative than a traditional workplace. An easy way to not isolate your employees is to add team working zones and use work setups like tables and desks that do not close up the space around the employee.

Personal Storage

A human spends more time in their office than they do at home. Naturally, they would need their personal belongings stocked in their workspace. Adding storage that can be used by the employees can increase the workers’ interest in their office rather than making it feel like a foreign space.

Keep it Clean

As mentioned above, an office is a place where most of a person’s time is spent. Keeping the office clean is important because you would do the same to your own home. Clutterfree workspaces are the key to productivity. Keeping dustbins at every desk and hiring housekeeping can help make your office space efficient. Cleanliness also plays a huge role in impressions. People coming into the office be it interviewees or clients, will form their impressions based on the cleanliness and look of the office.

Air Quality

Air is, without a doubt, important for employees. A planned HVAC system is a necessity in any room. Additionally, an air purifier should be installed in the office, especially if it is an enclosed and small space. It is very easy for air to become contaminated with multiple people breathing it in and the HVAC circulating the same air repeatedly. For the health of all people working under the roof, the air quality should be kept clean.
