5 Signs that it’s time to upgrade or relocate your business

It’s time for a change.

For many businesses, the majority of office space planning takes place before they move in. The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted many businesses to consider their next steps. Organizations that have been in the same place for a long time will realize that it may be necessary to consider renovating. A workplace might become stagnant and uninviting over time, which can have a negative impact on employee productivity. The good news is that there are ways to prevent this by simply looking for these 5 signals that it’s time to renovate or relocate your office:

 1. Too Much Space or Not Enough Space

What you do with your space matters much more than how much space you have. Utilizing open workspaces can encourage your people to return to the office. Companies don’t want to miss out on those genius ideas that happen in the lunchroom, by the water cooler or by passing someone in the hallway. How can you reimagine the space you work in, and adapt it for the new way people work?

If your company is expanding, you may need to make changes to your office to make it more effective and sustainable. It is important to make sure there is enough room in your workplace to allow employees to move freely.

Our team has developed the Future of Work Blueprint so that companies big and small can assess their current business goals and priorities and then develop a strategy for how physical square footage can support those goals and priorities. You can learn even more in our Rightsizing blog!

 2. Not Enough Flexibility

For some people, the thought of being restricted to one space for the entire day is not very exciting. Comfort and flexibility in the workplace are essential for you and your people when it comes to productivity and focus. You can also achieve flexibility with height adjustable desks and computer monitors.

By creating quiet and collaborative spaces you are also giving your employees more flexibility for how they decide to do their work. Defined quiet zones spread throughout your workplace can greatly benefit the efficiency of your workforce. Collaboration zones foster communication and teamwork between individuals from different departments. However, it’s also important to include quiet spaces.

 3. It Doesn’t Match Your Brand
