How Often Should Your Redo Your Office Layout?

June 17, 2018

It can be effortless to get comfortable in your environment — especially when it’s your work environment. We get it, you spend 40 hours plus a week there, but shouldn’t be a comfortable and productive 40 plus hours? Outdated office furniture can be hindering your whole companies performance, and with a simple upgrade — you can begin to see a boost in work, morale and overall comfort.

So how do you know when it’s time to redo your office setup?

When Technology Changes

If you still have office furniture that is pre-computers — you want to invest in something new. Many older desks were designed for paperwork and typewriters, not monitors and cords. By getting desks appropriate for daily computer use, you can have a cleaner more usable workspace for all your employees.

When You Begin To Outgrow The Old

Recently expanding; It might be time to think about changing up your office concept. Whether you choose an open office plan or rearrange to fit a few more desk or cubicles, you want to ensure your new employees won’t disrupt your old ones.

When Your Furniture Breaks Down

If you have draws that won’t open up, chairs that no longer go up and down, and rusty filing cabinets — it’s time for a change. Your office is a visual representation of your success, so a dated unkempt office is not what you want to put out there to your customers and staff.

When it comes time to pick out new office furniture or to redesign your setup, keep in mind:

• Productivity
• Your employees’ comfort
• The level of privacy
• Sizing and accessible space

An office makeover is an investment, but with the right furniture, it’s an investment that will hold up for years to come.
