The workplace, and indeed the world, is a much-changed place than the one we were familiar with in early 2020. Our entire lives have been altered in ways that we never imagined possible from schools and gyms closing to many of us having to work from home. Amongst the hardships, there have been some positive changes realised, including the benefits of staff spending more time working from home.
Historically, some businesses have struggled with the concept of remote working for a variety of reasons. However, having the situation forced upon them has changed the mindset of many employers as they have seen things improve in some way. For example, work life balances are better, productivity has increased and collaboration has not suffered thanks to the adoption of practices such as video conferencing. There are cost savings to be realised by allowing working from home to continue too, because office space can be reduced in size. But a smaller office space doesn’t have to mean reduced facilities. Take a look at how The DL Company can facilitate reducing your office footprint whilst adding benefits:
It can sometimes be difficult to think beyond what you currently have in place and define a better use of a space. That’s where our office designers will help. They have years of experience meaning they will be able to maximise layouts to get more of them. The designers will work in collaboration with you to understand your business needs and processes and that way, not only will you end up with a stylish working environment, you’ll also find it highly functional. If you will be shifting your office usage from a full team in at all times, to having a hot desking and collaborative space instead, our team are well-versed in what you are likely to need so can properly advise you.
There are innovative ways to get more out of the space you occupy, from racking and shelving storage solutions that allow you to keep everything you need in a structured and neat way to mezzanine floors. In the right environment, DL will be able to add an additional floor into your office to give more storage space or additional desk space. You’ll be amazed at how much more you can get out of what you would have otherwise might have considered a small area.
The new business world will require flexibility and as such, having a very rigid set up for your office might not be the most practical solution. DL can divide office spaces to include separate working spaces or offices and meeting rooms. They could be separated with glass partitioning to promote the transition of light throughout which helps in smaller spaces to make them feel more open. Folding partition walls can be used to create temporary meeting rooms or separate spaces that can then be re-opened when the company’s needs change. This is a working space for the modern business world and there are many different options available – we at The DL Company will be able to help.
At The DL Company, we have years of experience in creating office environments which work for the individual needs of the business. So get in touch with us and see how we can turn your smaller space into something that works for you.
