Office Planning Mark Downs Office Furniture

Have you ever considered the impact of office planning?

Have you ever considered the impact of office planning?  The reality is that office employees spend more time working than anything else. For this reason, it matters to have a cohesive office layout not only for aesthetics but for comfort. When you rework your office, it aids in functionality and enhances employee morale and productivity. In addition, a well-thought-out design can stoke collaboration and creativity. 

Of course, office planning involves more than rearranging your desks.  The benefit of partnering with Mark Downs Office Furniture is that we offer free design services, helping you get the most out of your space! Until you call us or visit our showroom, here are a few valuable tips on how to optimize your office planning. 

Have a Plan and Make a Budget When Office Planning 

It’s practical to sit down and estimate how much particular changes or upgrades will cost. When you include your team, it can help you create a space that accommodates all of your employees. 

 After all, you want to create an accommodating office space that your employees will love to show up to each day. You can take a poll or share designs with your team. 

Part Ways with Uncomfortable Office Furniture 

Before you rearrange your office furniture, we recommend that you think long and hard about if it’s worth keeping in the first place.  Old or poorly designed office furniture can make your office look outdated and often lead to employee discomfort, back pain, or injury. The best place to start is by browsing our inventory for ergonomic office chairs. In addition, consider the height and weight of your employees. Look for chairs with:

  • Armrest Variations
  • Swivel Mechanisms
  • Lumbar Support
  • Height, Width, and Depth Adjustments
  • Padded Materials

Optimized Office Planning Offers Variety 

Office needs vary depending on the company, and the work styles of employees differ as well. Every office can benefit from variety, meaning that you should plan for collaborative and quiet spaces. In addition, you might consider designing a lounge area where your employees can bond or take a well-deserved break.
