Installation of Communication Systems We live in an age when time equals money, and there's nothing worse than losing time due to outdated communications equipment in you office space. Utilising older systems can waste hours of staff time, leading to a reduction in the productivity of your business. The installation of the newest fibre-optic technology into any office space is a basic step to ensure that your business remains competitive. This process is relatively straightforward and low-cost. Other typical improvements to communication systems that can enhance your office include the installation of state of the art communication rooms with video conferencing, installation of telephones and integrated email systems. Make an Office Comfortable with better furniture Having a comfortable workspace is essential to ensure high levels of productivity and efficiency in you workspace. Recent growing awareness for the importance wellness of staff for company productivity has lead to many trends for the installation of innovative furniture in office spaces. One such example is the furnishing of offices with ergonomic chairs, which support the backs of staff who spend a lot of time sitting. Taking the human user in mind during the design process means that in many new office spaces, meeting rooms can double up as yoga rooms in the evening, kitchens include healthy food and even the furniture is re-invented to promote a healthy lifestyle. In many offices, chairs have been replaced by treadmills at desks and outdoor rest-spaces have been added to permit workers to relax during lunch breaks. Wellness rooms and napping spaces are other improvements that can be added to improve company productivity. Develop existing space to promote collaboration Many recent studies have shown the positive effects of open plan office spaces. A design option previously limited to design studios and cow-working spaces, the benefit of open-plan offices for company productivity has been embraced by many professional services including law companies and real-estate offices. The development of a traditional, compartmentalised office space into an open-plan space can be relatively easy to achieve, and may be as simple as removing internal partition walls. Improve branding
It should go without saying that your workspace forms part of your company identity. A clean, trendy and stylish workplace that promotes the culture of your company can have the same effect as thousands of dollars spent on marketing and promotion. To that end, it is essential to get your image just right. Your workplace essentially is your calling card. There are some great and cost effective ways to enhance your branding that can develop any dull and tired space quickly. A change in the color scheme of an office space can completely alter the perception of your company by clients. Recent studies have proven the positive effects of coloured work spaces. The use of colour in an office space has been proven to have a direct impact on the way staff think and feel. For example, the use of vibrant greens in offices has been shown to lead to broader thinking. A small change in lighting can alter the atmosphere of any space significantly. If you work in an older office space that hasn't been renovated in the past 15 years, chances are that you work in a space with harsh fluorescent lighting that creates a cold, unpleasant space to work. Recessed led uplighters can create a soft, natural lighting, enhancing both the atmosphere of the office and the productivity of the staff. To create the exact image, a tenant may need to complete more thorough changes in the space, including the removal of internal partition walls or the installation of improved glazing. All of these can be achieved under a tenant improvement permit, and should be negotiated with your landlord to establish who pays for the work.
