The work of your entire company will depend on how you organize your office space. Sometimes it seems that it does not matter at all who sits where and what height of the partition between the workplaces. More often than not, however, this is not the case. The office is like a home: every little thing matters.
Instructions
Step 1
On the one hand, the office should be comfortable for those who work in it. But do not forget that an office is still not a living room. Comfort shouldn't rule out mobility and simplicity, as it's not uncommon for companies to move. Fancy details and bulky furniture will only make your move difficult.
Step 2
Work in a person's life takes at least a third of the time. Therefore, it is important that the office maintains ideal physical conditions for work: fresh air, comfortable temperature, sufficient lighting. If you rent an office of class A (i.e., the most expensive class), then, as a rule, these problems have already been solved, because in such offices there is always a good system of air conditioning, lighting and heating. If your office is far from high class, then you will have to bring it closer to the ideal by purchasing and installing an air conditioner, maintaining the temperature at + 19 + 25 C and sufficient humidity.
Step 3
How you organize the distribution of offices between employees, what space you allocate for the meeting room, depends primarily on your business. However, there are some general rules for any office.
The reception is well placed directly opposite the door. He will be the "face" of the office for clients and applicants. To the left or to the right of the reception, you can organize a meeting room so as not to lead the client or the applicant through the entire office for negotiations and not interfere with other employees. Plus, customers don't need to know how your office is organized.
Step 4
In the same way, to the left or to the right of the reception (depending on where you will have a meeting room), it is worth installing a door leading to the actual office space. It can, if you wish, be divided into many small offices, or it can remain an open space with small partitions between workstations. In any case, key company personnel should have private offices, while junior and mid-level personnel can be in open space or in common offices (for example, each department of the company can sit in a separate office). Experience shows that most companies still prefer offices with separate offices for 4-7 people, rather than with large space separated by partitions. The main problem with the second option is noise. In addition, psychologically, not everyone is comfortable working in an open space divided by partitions; employees may lack isolation.
Step 5
It is good to have a small kitchen in the office, which will have a cooler, a coffee maker and a microwave oven. Quite a few people choose to dine in the office, bringing food from home. The optimal number of bathrooms depends on the number of staff. On average, there should be one bathroom for seven people.
