If you’re refurbishing or re-locating your office, it’s well worth thinking about re-jigging the way you utilise your office space to increase your employees’ productivity. There’s been lots of research into the effects of how workspace design can have an impact on both productivity and staff morale, with cluttered and poorly designed workplaces having the most significant negative effects.

And it’s not just the lay-out of your office space that causes problems – even the décor and furniture can dictate the efficiency of your entire team. What’s more, a well thought out office space can even positively influence clients who visit your premises.

Of course, your office space planning depends upon the industry you’re in and your employees’ workplace needs. Some may need to be able to easily communicate with one another, whilst others may need quiet spaces to concentrate and work to maximum efficiency.

An easy way to achieve these different ‘zones’ is to install office partitioning: properly dividing your workspace gives your employees the personal space they need to work as a team or without distraction if need be. A simple change of layout also has a positive effect on productivity – coming into the same environment day in, day out makes work a dull place to be! A fresh, modern office design can have a real morale-boosting effect, from the flooring and décor to the office furniture you provide. Your desks, chairs and workstations can all be enhanced to help your employees improve their work performance.
