What Your Office Says About You

Posted on October 28, 2008 at 11:57 am by Simon

Have you ever taken the time to really consider what your office says about your company?  If you office space light and airy, pleasant and comfortable to work or is it an oppressive poorly designed area with towers of unfilled papers and archive boxes strewn around? 

Take time to stand back and consider your office space.  The premises you occupy will say a great deal about you and your business.  It is often the first thing that a client or prospective employee sees and the layout and design will have a huge impact on how they perceive you.  When researching how you want your office to look take time to consider other offices.  How do they make you feel when you walk in?  What assumptions about the company are made due to the décor and general set up?  Take this information and then think about how you want people to think and feel about you and your company.

There no way of getting away from it.  People will be influenced by your surroundings and to give a good impression you need to think about refurbishment or looking into serviced offices where the décor is taken care of for you.  Having sufficient storage space can make a great difference as clutter will give off negative impressions.  Choose furniture that is both comfortable and stylish. 

Not only will you create a great impression, productivity will begin to soar as well.
