Express your vision; start with these ideas when searching for your new digs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Room to grow<\/strong>: It&#8217;s better to have a bit more space than not enough. A crowded office complex with a cramped connecting hallway not only feels claustrophobic, it stifles creativity. By giving your company extra room, you&#8217;re saying, &#8220;We are on the grow!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy to access<\/strong>: You&#8217;ve got posh new headquarters but unfortunately, HQ is located a few hours away from home. Your key players have to spend a significant amount of time on the road&#8211;just to come to work. When selecting a new office space, consider the commute. Show your team some &#8220;love&#8221; by choosing an office space that isn&#8217;t at the opposite end of a gauntlet or at least implement a teleworking policy that would permit flexible commuting. Also, think about the parking situation. Your office setup needs to have an easy to locate entrance and exit that doesn&#8217;t require a hike to get there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A clear flow of traffic<\/strong>: If you were a stranger visiting your office, would you be able to navigate the workflow areas without a map. It doesn&#8217;t take a rocket scientist to determine that visitors should be met by a reception area, not walk into the fulfillment warehouse. Still, there are more subtle traffic concerns to consider. For example, if your company has started the new year with a significant investment in public relations, shouldn&#8217;t this department be located closely to management? Also, think about walking a document through an average purchasing process. Bottom line&#8211;your flow of traffic decisions should be practical and make sense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Achieve the right balance<\/strong>:When clients arrive at the business, they want to see success and a professional environment, not question where their money is going. Your office space design should encourage confidence, but not create a cause for concern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Office space planning and design takes some care and time.
