How will it help you? That’s the topic we explore in this post. We look at some of the benefits of such renovations and what they mean for you and your people. Here goes:
8 Things You’ll Notice When You Renovate Your Team Office
1. Easier Collaboration
One of the things you’ll notice after an office refit is that team collaboration becomes so much more straightforward. People on your staff are simply able to get more done.
How is this possible?
Mostly, it’s because of the improved office layout. When teams come in to do the refit, they will often switch things around to ensure that it abides by your workflow requirements.
2. Lower Energy Bills
At the same time, you might also notice lower energy bills. These tend to drop and stay low thanks to improved insulation and perhaps solar panels on the roof. Many businesses find that they can cut their mains electricity usage to around zero with the right approach.
3. Better Branding
You can also put your people and clients in the mood to appreciate your brand after a refit. Many business leaders deliberately include branded elements and themes so that the office feels more like a natural extension of the business. When you do this, you’ll notice that your people seem more aligned with your mission and part of your enterprise. They want to be excited about your company and actually work toward ensuring that it achieves its goals.
4.Tech Work Is Seamless
Another thing you’ll notice is how seamless tech work is. Everything is so easy to set up, from the wiring to the Wi-Fi and integrated AV systems. What this means in practice is less downtime. You’re spending less time worrying about the physical characteristics of your space, and more focusing on your business and doing what’s right for it.
5. Employee Mood Improves
You will also see employee mood improving. People just like to be in pleasant, clean and attractive spaces. Make sure you add things like natural light and ergonomic seating. Give staff the high-value environmental features that matter most to them. Focus on the 20% of interventions that generate 80% of the results.
6. People Become More Focused
At the same time as being happier, you’ll also notice that people become more focused following a refit. They’re able to get more done in a shorter space of time because there’s less clutter interfering with their thought processes.
7. Visitors Are Impressed
Visitors are also impressed by a newly refitted office space. It feels fresh and clean, inspiring additional confidence in your brand. Polished finishes are a great way to set up your company for success. People will genuinely want to buy from you, and do business with you.
8. More Gets Done
Finally, you’ll notice that more just gets done in your office when you finish a refit. People unconsciously feel more excited and productive because the environment demands more professionalism from them. Sometimes, output per hour can increase by 20% or more.
