Want to Provide the Perfect Work Environment? What to Consider When Choosing Commercial Office Fitouts

Home & Garden Blog

If you're about to take on the challenge of reworking your office space, you are probably excited to get started. As the commercial fitout specialist is showing you various designs, there are some things you'll need to keep in mind before choosing the right one. This guide explains what those things are and how they'll help with productivity.

The Health Of Your Employees

Choose a commercial fitout that works well for your employees' health and safety. Here are some ideas:

  • Good back support on the chairs and proper desk height for sitting employees.
  • Proper counter height for employees who stand behind a counter
  • Proper flooring for standing employees
  • Space in the office so employees can stretch or even do some yoga.

Ask the specialist which commercial fitout designs are highly rated in these areas. You'll find that your employees miss fewer days of work and their productivity levels rise because they are more comfortable.

Decorating Options During the Holidays

Every holiday season, employees may like to feel the spirit of the season, even if they're working. Choose a design that you can move around to add a Christmas tree, wreaths and even some ornaments.

Note: The amount of decorating you'll be allowed to do depends on the size of your space and the amount of employees you have.

Keep year-round decorating in mind as well. You are probably going through the process of choosing the right paint colours to keep your employees alert, but at the same time, the colour should match well with the fitout and other decorations you want to place in various areas.

Employee Privacy

Strike a balance when choosing the fitout between allowing your employees the ability to work on confidential projects, yet not feel isolated from the rest of the team. Cubicles created with glass walls with the desk facing the wall allow workers the privacy they need on their screens without employees feeling cut-off from the rest of the world.

The Traffic Flow for Employees and Customers

If your business frequently has customers walking through to see various employees, make sure the fitout provides for the best traffic flow. For example, ask the designer to create a fitout that allows the clients or customers to access the employee they need to see without walking into areas that you don't want them to see.

Look at as many fitout designs as possible when you reconfigure your office. Ask the specialist about new trends and striking a balance between safety, decorating and privacy. Get your employees in on the decision making process by asking them to help choose a design that provides more comfort and more productivity.

Shade friendly plants and pavers for your patio

My yard is in the shade of both of my neighbour's homes for most of the day which makes it quite hard to grow some of my favourite plants. Even though the yard is shady I still want it to have some nice look ground cover and be a cool place to entertain people. I have used a combination of shade resistant plants and pavers to create a lovely space that is good for entertaining all year round. This blog has some tips on creating a pleasant atmosphere in your shady backyard, particularly if you have a yard that is too shady to grow many kinds of plants.
