When it comes to Toronto office furniture projects—be they installations, upgrades, or reorganizations—the ultimate goal usually boils down to one thing: efficiency. This could mean a more efficient use of space, greater employee efficiency due to elevated morale, more efficient access to tools and resources, or any other number of efficiency goals.
These 5 steps collected by the team at Choice Office Installations can help you make sure that your office furniture project helps to boost workplace efficiency.
While it may be easy to assume that ‘the boss knows best’, it always helps to get input from those who will actually use the workspace. This allows you to gauge their wants, needs, and expectations while granting them the opportunity to personalize their space.
Not only will this improve morale by including them on this decision that will affect them every day for their entire tenure, but it will also ensure that their needs—both with regards to their jobs (ie. access to storage and equipment) and their preferences (such as privacy considerations) are met.
A design and logistics professional can offer many ideas and considerations to make sure that you’re getting the most benefit out of your Toronto office furniture project. Reputable design professionals who specialize in office spaces will know the ins and outs of office designs and might have some key considerations or suggestions that you wouldn’t think of on your own.
Change can be difficult and stressful, particularly for employees who have been working in their space for several years. Always remember to keep a positive outlook regarding the move when speaking with them, and be sure that they aren’t privy to any concerns or complaints about the transition process.
Remember: Excitement is contagious!
Some needs, such as storage, may not jump out at us when we consider our workspace needs. Always make sure that you budget enough space for not only the storage you are currently using but also enough to accommodate for a reasonable amount of long-term growth as well.
Always keep your limitations in mind. This includes budgeting not only the cost of the project, but space with which you’re working, the manpower you have available to pack up the old desks and set up the new, and the time you have to make the transition.
At Choice, we can help you to logistically plan your Toronto office furniture project to be as un-intrusive as possible while offering resources and manpower to pack and set up in a timely manner.
