If your
office is getting a little cramped, especially if you have plans for a growing
team, then you should certainly look into moving premises. An office removal
can be a great step forward for your businesses, symbolising it’s growth and
progression, helping your employees productivity levels and also making space
for future employees.
But, what
exactly do you need to look for when scouring the internet and visiting office
spaces? Below, as a removal company who has dealt with a large variety of
office removals, we have compiled together a handy mini guide to assist you.
Natural light
No employee
will want to move into an office space that is dingy and dark; coupled with
blue light from computer screens, it can mess up your body's natural circadian
rhythms and make staff unproductive and unwell. This is why it is imperative
that you find an office space with plenty of natural light. Not only can this
help boost your employee's mood once they settle into the office, but it can
also mean that you will use the office lighting less, helping your energy
bills.
Accessibility
It is vital
that you choose an office space that is accessible to all, whether that is
having a lift installed nearby, being flat-surfaced, having large avenues, and
having disabled toilets - this is important for both employees and clients. If
you don’t have an accessible office, this can reflect badly on your business.
Toilet and Washroom Facilities
It is also
imperative that you move into an office space that has enough toilet facilities
on site to cope with both a large and small office space. It is a fundamental
human right for your office to have accessible and high-quality hygiene
facilities, from toilets, showers and washrooms.
Unique Character
Though this
isn’t necessarily a fundamental need, an aesthetic office space is becoming
part and parcel of a successful company in this day and age, especially amongst
the ‘Instagram’ generation. Simply put, if your office has desirable features
like interesting architectural elements, it will certainly impress both
employees and clients. This can reflect well on your business as it will want
to make employees work there and also boost your credentials in the eyes of
competitors.
Social room
An office
kitchen and social room is fundamental in any office, as it allows your
employees to be comfortable within their working environment. Whether you have
just had a stressful meeting and you need a few minutes to collect your
thoughts, or you want to get some much-needed time away from your screen at
lunch - an office social room can provide this. What’s more, it allows for
employees to socialise and establish good working relationships - overall
contributing to a happier workplace.
