This 2017, the projected average space per worker for most companies is less than 151 square feet. Seems like a lot but in 2012, the number was 176 square feet and in 2010, it was 225. Office space is getting tighter and smaller. Unfortunately, having a limited space can be mind-numbing and suffocating for employees. To help you maximize a tiny workplace, we scribbled down the following tips:
1. INSTALL MODULAR WORKSTATIONS
3. OPT FOR STANDING MEETING TABLES
Invest in standing tables instead of a huge conference table. Standing meetings have shown to be 25% shorter than typical meetings. Another study found that rubbing elbows in close spaces while standing often results in more artistic ideas than typical meetings.
4. EQUIP OVERHEAD STORAGE RACKS
Empty space is everywhere – including up above. Maximize your ceiling space by installing overhead storage racks. It will give you a larger amount of room to stock up office tools and important documents.
5. BRING IN NATURAL LIGHT
Lastly, let natural sunlight enter your office. It will make the room feel wider and brighter, which can help enhance the overall disposition of the employees.
Having a small office doesn’t mean you can’t create a comfortable and dynamic space for your workers. Following the above tips and being creative will help you build a better, more productive workspace.
