Increasing productivity in your office space

Filed under: Office Space Posted on December 30, 2008 by Sarah

In the current economic climate, we all have to watch the pennies and businesses large and small have to do the same.

Serviced office space has become increasingly popular in this economic climate, particularly in areas such as London and London’s West End, where companies want the prestigious address but are unwilling to pay the usual corporate office lease prices.

Serviced offices are much more flexible and so many companies have taken advantage of their serviced office lease to either upgrade or downsize, whichever suits them. However, there are other ways to increase productivity within your existing office.

For instance, you could take a look at your office furniture. There are different sizes and layouts of office desks, some of which take up more space than others, so first of all you could look at using smaller desks.

Secondly, you should take a look at the type of office furniture you are using. Studies have proven there is a relationship between comfortable office furniture and the productivity of staff, so check that the office chairs are comfortable and the office desks are adjustable to the correct height. If you have a high level of absenteeism in the office then perhaps you should look to the office furniture to help increase productivity.
