Can the way your furniture is installed really have a positive, lasting effect on your business’s bottom line? Absolutely! Here’s why…
First of all, if you’ve ever had to work at a desk or sit in a chair that was improperly installed, you know how frustrating the experience can be. You spend far too much time adjusting and re-adjusting, which takes time away from what you should be doing. Hence, you’re less productive than you would be otherwise.
Secondly, when you install furniture with the end-user in mind, you’re more likely to get better quality (and sometimes quantity of) work out of him or her. Case in point: If you value collaboration in your workspace, but have no collaborative areas, you are making it tremendously difficult for your employees to gather together. Really consider what your employees need to be the best they can be.
Finally, smart furniture installation will allow you and your organization to grow as the needs of your customers grow. Items such as modular office walls can give you flexibility and space optimization options. Additionally, investing in modern office furniture that is guaranteed to last for a significant period of time (as per the warranty agreement) will ensure that you don’t have to keep paying for new furnishings year after year.
As you might have presumed, the key is to pragmatically plan your needs before making a final decision. Ask your workers, ask your trusted colleagues from other fields… even ask your competitors (if you’re on good terms!) Most of all, when you decide what you’d like, work with engineers, architects, designers and dealers who have helped other companies turn their furniture installation possibilities into realities. By making wise choices upfront, you will see the results in your profit margin.
