Office Space Planning for the New Normal

Office Space Planning for the New Normal

In this time of social distancing, as our economy feels the effects of COVID-19, many people are working from home. What happens as the economy recovers, and we return to the “New Normal.” Have we learned a new way of working? Will we need to reconfigure our office space? Should teleworking be part of the way we do our work going forward? Will it be necessary to move to new office space?

There are so many unknowns, but changes will probably be made to the way we do business, and the workspace we do it in. It’s essential to hire professionals to help you avoid costly mistakes and get it right the first time.

Why is Office Space Planning Important?

Most office space is leased by the square foot. You want to be sure that you are maximizing this space with the proper office configuration. After we return to work, employers may be rethinking open office space and opting instead for a more traditional cubicle or office configuration. The workforce may be downsized or expanded. Jumping into an office makeover without professional help and proper planning may result in regret and financial loss to the business.

Take a Look at Company Goals When Considering an Office Space Plan

Are you focused on employee health and wellness? Maybe you’re hoping for increased employee engagement and productivity. Think about your plans for downsizing or potential growth in the upcoming years. Sharing these goals and working towards the best solutions with an experienced project management professional will guarantee that you’ll be happy with the configuration you adopt now and for some time in the future.

It’s About the Ergonomics

One of the best things you can do for your team is to invest in their health, safety, and wellness. Some folks think that ergonomics is a trendy gimmick. But it’s been around for a while, and studies show that ergonomic furniture in the workplace promotes overall well being, increases productivity, and cuts down on absenteeism rates.
