Make smart use of
space and creative ways to design the office.
Image is very important for the company as it speaks more than words.
The smartest thing to do is to hire an office interior designer which will make
10-20% more usage in your office. Emphasize on the objective of the company to
him which leaves a positive impression on the client. Also make sure you communicate about
occupant’s strength of the company. He will turn this visible space into a
usable space.
Some inputs for office
interior design are as follows:
ü
A person will be
unproductive, boring and lethargic if the office atmosphere will be cluttered.
Output will be elevated if the space is comfortable, flexible and personal.
ü
External noise creates
distraction and results in low productivity. It is the biggest hindrance for
focus and efficiency. The feel should be quiet and relaxing.
ü
Bright colors create
positive vibes among team members. Energetic and confident attitude is promoted
amongst them. Green color is best suited to re-energize enthuse your team.
ü
Late office hours are
stressful. So using chairs with adjustable position can relax back pain and arm
rest is often recommended. Chairs should be kept facing the window or door so
it causes less strain on the eyes.
ü
Depending on the
Nature of the work, job specific furnishings should be designed. One has to
keep in mind future business requirements like hiring new personnel for the
job. Space therefore should be well designed.
E.g.: an airline reservation desk employee has to attend calls and no interaction
with other employees. He should have enough of room to make himself
comfortable.
ü
Stress busters like
plants which give oxygen and aerate the room. Place them on the corners instead
using designer equipment and antiques.
ü
Avoid traditional
yellow lamps and replace with bluish ones which is similar to natural light.
ü
Use latest technology like
space should be as flexible as possible by creating “plug and play” for the individuals to work on their laptops.
ü
Enough of space between
different departments and the workers themselves so they don’t crash with each
other. Basic idea is to avoid inconvenience to any other team.
ü
Allocating space
wisely to a group of people who do different tasks. Like an engineer is mostly
found on his desk while sales person or president are there for a couple of
hours.
Simple and unique office creates an image
both in minds of the employees and the clients. Create space which is for the
well-being of the employees.
