Four Signs You Need to Move to a Larger Office
As a business, outgrowing your current office is exciting. It usually means your company is expanding or you have plans to grow in the future - or perhaps you’re completely re-branding! Either way, needing more space for your business is a good sign. It’s important that your office has enough space for your needs; it should be a comfortable and pleasant environment for your employees.
Below are four signs you need a bigger office.
You don’t have enough storage in your current office
No matter what type of business you run, it’s important you have enough storage space for your needs. If your storage is overflowing, your office can quickly become disorganised and cluttered, reducing productivity levels in the workplace. If your employees have to spend more time than necessary looking for documents, supplies and paperwork, you’ll quickly see a decrease in productivity and efficiency levels.
Your office space is overcrowded
As previously mentioned, it’s crucial your employees have enough space and feel comfortable in their work environment. A crowded workplace can quickly lead to stress - and stress results in lowered productivity. If your employees feel cramped and crowded in a small space, they’ll find it difficult to focus on individual tasks. If your office is overcrowded, it’s time to look for a bigger space.
If you want to give your company a revamp, there’s no better excuse to move into a new, bigger office. Not only does this give you a blank new canvas to establish your brand in, but relocating to another space or location can also be more attractive to staff and customers. Perhaps you’re moving to a busier location or a new up and coming area - either way, moving can help you re-brand and improve your brand identity.
If you want to expand your team, you’re likely going to need a bigger space to accommodate everyone. While it may seem daunting to go out and lease or purchase a bigger new office if you’re not quite sure how many new employees you plan to welcome, it’s always best to prepare ahead. You don’t want to hire new employees only to find that you have to squeeze them all into your small current office.
