Your office space planning & design reveals a lot about your company–to both employees and customers. While connecting floors with a giant slide like Google may not be affordable or functional for your group, chances are you could use an upgrade. Excite your team with a new and improved design in your office space planning! Express your vision; start with these ideas when searching for your new digs.

• Room to grow: It’s better to have a bit more space than not enough. A crowded office complex with a cramped connecting hallway not only feels claustrophobic, it stifles creativity. By giving your company extra room, you’re saying, “We are on the grow!”
• Easy to access: You’ve got posh new headquarters but unfortunately, HQ is located a few hours away from home. Your key players have to spend a significant amount of time on the road–just to come to work. When selecting a new office space, consider the commute. Show your team some “love” by choosing an office space that isn’t at the opposite end of a gauntlet or at least implement a teleworking policy that would permit flexible commuting. Also, think about the parking situation. Your office setup needs to have an easy to locate entrance and exit that doesn’t require a hike to get there.
• A clear flow of traffic: If you were a stranger visiting your office, would you be able to navigate the workflow areas without a map. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine that visitors should be met by a reception area, not walk into the fulfillment warehouse. Still, there are more subtle traffic concerns to consider. For example, if your company has started the new year with a significant investment in public relations, shouldn’t this department be located closely to management? Also, think about walking a document through an average purchasing process. Bottom line–your flow of traffic decisions should be practical and make sense.
• Achieve the right balance:When clients arrive at the business, they want to see success and a professional environment, not question where their money is going. Your office space design should encourage confidence, but not create a cause for concern.
