The office environment your work in directly impacts your productivity, as well as your staff’s. Also, the look and feel of your office makes an impression on your clientele. If your office space is lacking vitality, appears unpleasant and drab, it’s time to consider making a few changes. Remodeling your office space the right way brings positive changes to any business. While office renovations may be expensive, they’re an investment that pays off in the long run.
We will take a look at just a few benefits to renovating your office space.
Create more efficient use of your space
- Optimizing the layout of the office itself results in more useable space. This means more room for supplies, equipment and workspaces.
- Workspaces themselves can always be designed to increase functionality, comfort for your staff.
- For example, an office that is 2000 square feet may cost anywhere between $100,000-$160,000 to renovate.
- Also, if you’re paying for utilities, you should consider upgrading the energy efficiency of your office. Eco-friendly upgrades such as energy-efficient windows, insulation and LED lighting can reduce energy costs annually up to 40%!
Improve employee performance
- Adding a common space such as a pleasant break room, modern kitchen and common area for employees to interact and relax results improves everyone’s mood.
- Employees that have the freedom to relax, socialize and enjoy their breaks away from their desk, are far more productive once they sit down to work again.
- The overall happiness and productivity of your staff speaks to how well-designed your renovations are.
Revitalize Your Business
- Businesses sometimes undergo rebranding for a number of different reasons. Rebranding can involve new corporate colours, a new logo, different services and bolder messaging. It can also involve renovating the existing space.
- Renovating the office space is a great way to revitalize and rebrand, by having the physical space reflect the major step forward that you’ve taken as a business.
- Revitalizing your space every so often is also crucial for appearing modern and capable to your clients
- Regardless of your business, clients respond much better to a space that is sleek, eyecatching and modern than a space that is worn down, dull and dated.
Add Health Improvements
Older buildings aren’t always up to code when it comes to health and safety, for example, most buildings built prior to 1970 contain asbestos
