Office Furniture Installation Blog

Many businesses believe that their ONLY option is to relocate if their existing space doesn’t meet their current needs, or isn’t setup to support their future plans. However, while changing addresses can be a viable solution, for many businesses an even better – and certainly more affordable – choice is to reconfigure the office space.

If you’re considering a chance of scenery for your business, here are 3 reasons why opting to reconfigure your office space – rather than moving -- may be the right decision:

For many homeowners, the only motivation they need to configure their furniture is the desire for something new and different. However, businesses operate in a different framework, and while not every business decision has to be exclusively about the bottom-line, something as significant (though not necessarily costly) as an office furniture reconfiguration simply can’t be motivated by boredom or wanting “change for the sake of change”. There has to be a logical, rational financial justification.

With this being said, many businesses have long since past the point where they need an office reconfiguration – because the delay isn’t just negatively affecting aesthetics and appearance, but it’s adversely impacting the bottom-line.

As you plan for your office redesign, you’ll be making furniture-related decisions regarding traffic flow, functionality, materials, and the list goes on. And while all of these are important considerations, don’t lose sight of the fact that an office redesign is an ideal opportunity to make your office healthier – and as such, your employees more engaged, productive and available (i.e. not on sick leave!).

To point you in that direction, the Precision team is pleased to share 5 office redesign tips to make your office healthier by changing your furniture: 

1. Swap in Sit-Stand Desks

When it comes to purchasing and configuring new office furniture, obviously your business environment is unique – which means you don’t want to take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Indeed, choices that work for some organizations or in some industries/marketplaces, don’t translate into general rules that you should adopt without doing some research and analysis.

While the idea of changing your office space may be attractive, or possibly even necessary, the thought of re-inventing your environment – and allocating tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars – is enough to curb your enthusiasm (to say the least!).

As you browse festive pictures of life inside the offices of Google, Cisco, and Netflix, you may feel that the only way to turn your space into an “award-winning environment” is to spend months or maybe years of time – not to mention hundreds of thousands of dollars!

You know that your website and marketing material (e.g. brochures, catalogs, business cards, etc.) are an expression of your brand, and say key things about your business: who you are, what you’re about, and where you’re heading.

It is an axiom on the business landscape that “the only constant is change”. Indeed, whether driven by shifting customer demand, disruptive technology, evolving marketplace dynamics and the list goes on, change is never a question of if: it is a question of when.

While office space planning often involves sourcing the right furniture (either new or used), there is much more to the process. Specifically, there are 5 key questions that every business should ask, regardless of whether the goal is a relatively minor refresh, or a major re-imagination:

As you know, the needs of your customers, your suite of product and service offerings, the dynamics of your marketplace, the size of your workforce, and the physical details of your office – both inside and out – all combine to influence how you can best achieve your business goals.
