Why professional office space planning is the key to the ideal office that will boost daily productivity and impress your clients.

Your office serves two main purposes, both of which are intrinsically linked to the success of your business. Firstly, you need a functioning workspace that ensures your employees are comfortable, happy and, most importantly, productive. Secondly, the office’s appearance gives visitors a glimpse into your day-to-day business activities. And of course, a bright, organised, clutter-free and stylish office implies a forward-thinking, professional company.

Creating that perfect office layout requires space planning – but with the right advice and support, you can achieve it.

Inside out

Approach change with an open mind. Before making any plans, consult your employees - after all, they are the ones who will have to work around the new layout. Listen to feedback, consider suggestions and aim to create an environment that is user-friendly and comfortable. Have a full audit of everything from desks and filing cabinets to pot plants and paperclips - and evaluate their efficiency. Evaluate your current systems and work practices. Establish the key areas for improvement - workflow, desk space, storage, partitioning and cable management.

Outside in

Your office’s image forms a lasting impression in the minds of visitors. So make sure you show people what you want them to see. For example, set the tone by welcoming them into a friendly, contemporary reception area and make sure the route to your office or meeting rooms, shows your  business at its best. If you have a vibrant sales office you don’t have to bypass it.

Consider your objectives. With a clear idea of what you hope to achieve, you are in a better position to organise the refit. A well thought-out structured plan will help you negotiate effectively with contractors and arrange timescales that will minimise disruption to existing staff.
