5 Common Mistakes Companies Make When Designing Their Offices
Planning
for the correct amount of storage
Understand what you are storing, why you
are storing it and make sure it’s not just a catch all place for all the
indecisions your staff make. Storage is too often used to conceal clutter.
Effective storage creates efficiencies while creating an environment that is
both esthetically appealing and practical. Different storage solutions can provide time
saving functionality that boosts productivity and frees up space for other
office uses.
Getting
employee input
The right office design will help make your business
run better.
Involve employees in deciding how the space will look
and feel. Employees often have insights into what an operation needs and may
have that wasn’t obvious before but may prove valuable. Their involvement in
decision-making gives them a voice in something meaningful which increases
engagement and improves performance.
Talk to your employees and ask how the old space has
worked. Which features have been good or bad, and why do they feel that way?
Don’t assume the old layout is necessarily the best to help drive business.
Also consider letting employees name common areas such as conference rooms.
That way, they can put their stamp on the space.
If you have the time and resources, consider setting
up some common work areas, each decorated in one of the color schemes most
popular among employees. They can then try the different settings to see how
they feel about them.
Besides giving employees a voice in the new office’s
aesthetics, encourage them to discuss practicalities, too. Ask for a wish list
of items for the new space, such as a coffee bar or certain type of storage,
which could help make work a better place to be.
Plan
for growth
It’s hard
to know the future. Often, we are planning to grow, but just how much, how many
more staff and what’s the time frame.
When you’re designing your office with growth in
mind, it’s important to look at ways in which space can be reconfigured to
accommodate differing team sizes.
It’s crucial to incorporate adaptable, flexible spaces into your present
office design. These spaces can be used for ad-hoc meetings or general
relaxation areas for existing staff but can also be re purposed as more formal
workspace when necessary or for events and presentations.
Think carefully about your office furniture too. Once you have
invested all your money in your latest technology or spent a fortune on the
best talent, it might be tempting to skimp on the furniture budget.
Not
enough open and/or private spaces
One of the most significant decisions in developing a company’s culture
relates to the division of office space. Open space, division into offices,
team-based division, mixed offices, a small or a big kitchen – each one of
these decisions will affect the way the company functions.
In theory, an open space office sounds like a great idea – an open
atmosphere, accessibility for everyone and, of course, an optimal utilization
of space. Most open spaces are usually quite noisy and are not that conducive
to actual discussions. Many people are easily distracted by every phone
call, joke or noise around them.
Acoustics
New open concept designs are often filled with hard
surfaces like polished concrete, open ceilings and lots of glass, that give a
wonderful open feeling to spaces. But there is downside – increased noise
levels.
When noise enters the workspace, creativity and
productivity go out the window. That’s why manufactures of office
furniture have thrown themselves into designing elements that limit and absorb
excessive noise, creating pleasant workspaces that improve performance. The trend for open-plan
designs, particularly in new workspaces, has put sound at the forefront of
design.
Another way of combating noise in new open-plan workspaces is by incorporating dividing elements which provide privacy and encourage concentration. There are different wall panels which offer solutions that provide contemporary designs with the possibility of personalization, as well as improving acoustics. From acoustical wall treatments to innovative furniture options there are many innovative solutions to improving the sound levels in any office environment.
