Getting the most out of your
office space
Part II
Think green
Whilst the benefits and importance of making
your carbon footprint smaller can’t be
overstated, there are other advantages too. An
An office space with less ‘baggage’ is more
agile and reduces the need for additional
space for storing paperwork and filing cabinets
cabinets and other hardware. By enabling this,
this, you’re less office-bound and should the
need arise, you can
work remotely.
Think on your feet
The majority of office workers spend most of
their time with their palms glued to their
computer mouse, eyes fixed on a glossy
computer screen, and backs hunched over an
office chair. Regardless of how ergonomic your
your office chair or mouse may be, this poses
serious health risks in the long term, with
lower back pain and Repetitive Strain Injury
(RSI) to
name a few.
Whether it’s a meeting or working on your computer,
working whilst standing up has been shown to have many
advantages, and if you haven’t given this a try, then this
article could be your calling to do so.
Not only does the change in body position and posture bring
about improvements in analytical thinking and creativity,
standing up is less stressful for your back.
You may also find that working whilst standing helps you
achieve more in less time, not to mention shorter meetings!
Standing while working has many more benefits, and if
you’re interested to learn more, Smithsonian.com have a
useful article here.
Efficient design
This one may sound contrary to everything above at first, but
bear with us…
In both the first part of this article and also now in the
second part, we’ve talked about going small, becoming
mobile, working remotely. But we know that this isn’t
possible for every type of business, which is why we’ll end by
talking about some of the steps you can take when you can’t
quite leave your office.
Get storage smart – for a lot of businesses, having and holding onto piles of
paperwork is a legal requirement, and if this is the case for you, then we’d
suggest you invest in storage. There are 2 ways you can do this.
The first one would be to have ample smart storage cabinets and shelves
within your office. Resist the urge to go for the cheaper options as the ones
ones that cost more are also usually the ones that work better. Smarter
drawers, more space, more available types of shelves can all help in storing
storing away as much as possible.
The other option would be to use a self-storage facility. Whilst this may not
not work for every business, if you have access to one in the vicinity, or
have paperwork which you don’t need frequent access to but which also
needs to be preserved for a stipulated period of time, using an external
storage facility can be the answer.
Foldaway office furniture is useful too, especially if you’re somewhat
cramped for space currently. Nowadays, there is a great range of multi-
functional office furniture to choose from as well.
When fitting out your office, think of going vertical. A simple tip, we know,
but one that can significantly increase your office’s storage capacity whilst
reducing the amount of floor space required can make for an office with
more of an open feel. Plus, little steps such as using cable trays to keep
cables out of sight also make for a safer work environment.
