Are you thinking about a remodel office project? While a bigger space may be necessary for a growing company, sometimes making the existing space better, more efficient, and more appealing is a great way to go, with an attractive payback.

The Benefits of a Renovation

Consider these renovation benefits for your remodel office endeavor:

• Enhance employee satisfaction and happiness.
• Improve the company’s image and leverage branding efforts.
• Create a stronger company culture.
• Achieve added work productivity and efficiency.
• Attract added business.  

Bottom line, neither boring nor ineffective office spaces make sense in today’s highly competitive business environment.

Questions to Ask When Planning Office Updates

Ask yourself these questions as you plan the remodel office work:

• How much space do I really need, and can I use the space I have more effectively?
• What do I want the entire office area to communicate about the company?
• How do I provide enough private space while also improving camaraderie and communication?
• Are there changes in employee behavior that I want to encourage?
• How do I consider some amount of travel and working from home?
• How much space flexibility needs to be built in?
