Workplace Strategy 101: Mistakes You Should

Avoid When Redesigning Your Office Space

Whether you are just upgrading one room or moving to an entirely new office space, you should always have a sound workplace strategy in place.

Always remember that how you designed your space can affect not only your employees, but your existing customers and company's profitability, as well. This is why you should avoid making the following mistakes when designing your office environment.

Design Mistakes to Avoid

1. Not having design goals

Anything that has something to do with your business should be planned carefully and that includes planning your workspace. As part of the planning process, you must determine what you want to achieve with the new office design.

Identifying your goals early on can help ensure that you'll stay on track as you determine space use and choose furniture pieces that will complement the new office space.

It can also help you save time and effort and avoid making mistakes that can cost you a lot of money in the long run.

2. Sacrificing comfort to save

money

You might be tempted to go for a much cheaper solution, like moving to a smaller office space or buying cheaper furniture, to save money. However, if you do this without weighing your options carefully first, you might end up spending more money down the road.

Before you settle for anything, see to it that you have conducted a cost-benefit analysis. Enlist the services of companies offering workplace space planning solutions. This way, you can determine if there are hidden costs on what seems like a good deal.

3. Forgetting to include your

employees in the loop

Because your staff members are the ones who will be mostly affected by the change in your office space, you should never make the mistake of not consulting them.

Not only will this mistake affect morale, but it can also affect productivity. As such, it would be nice to ask your employees for feedback and to consider their needs before making a decision.

4. Not incorporating

your brand

Your workplace is part of your identity, which is why it's very important to incorporate your brand into the overall design of your workplace.

Whether it's using your company's colours for your office's colour scheme or hanging photographs of satisfied clients, you must ensure that your workplace reflects your business in some way. So when someone steps into your workplace, they will know immediately what your company does.
