What to Look for in A Professional Office Space 

If your office is getting a little cramped, especially if you have plans for a growing team, then you should certainly look into moving premises. An office removal can be a great step forward for your businesses, symbolising it’s growth and progression, helping your employees productivity levels and also making space for future employees.

But, what exactly do you need to look for when scouring the internet and visiting office spaces? Below, as a removal company who has dealt with a large variety of office removals, we have compiled together a handy mini guide to assist you.

Natural light

No employee will want to move into an office space that is dingy and dark; coupled with blue light from computer screens, it can mess up your body's natural circadian rhythms and make staff unproductive and unwell. This is why it is imperative that you find an office space with plenty of natural light. Not only can this help boost your employee's mood once they settle into the office, but it can also mean that you will use the office lighting less, helping your energy bills.

Accessibility

It is vital that you choose an office space that is accessible to all, whether that is having a lift installed nearby, being flat-surfaced, having large avenues, and having disabled toilets - this is important for both employees and clients. If you don’t have an accessible office, this can reflect badly on your business.

Toilet and Washroom Facilities

It is also imperative that you move into an office space that has enough toilet facilities on site to cope with both a large and small office space. It is a fundamental human right for your office to have accessible and high-quality hygiene facilities, from toilets, showers and washrooms.

Unique Character

Though this isn’t necessarily a fundamental need, an aesthetic office space is becoming part and parcel of a successful company in this day and age, especially amongst the ‘Instagram’ generation. Simply put, if your office has desirable features like interesting architectural elements, it will certainly impress both employees and clients. This can reflect well on your business as it will want to make employees work there and also boost your credentials in the eyes of competitors.

Social room

An office kitchen and social room is fundamental in any office, as it allows your employees to be comfortable within their working environment. Whether you have just had a stressful meeting and you need a few minutes to collect your thoughts, or you want to get some much-needed time away from your screen at lunch - an office social room can provide this. What’s more, it allows for employees to socialise and establish good working relationships - overall contributing to a happier workplace.
