This might sound like a straightforward task but getting it right means balancing out a variety of factors including the following\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><strong>The size of your space <\/strong><br \/>\nThe size of your office will have the biggest impact on your decisions. If you have a large office space, then the challenge is whether to create a light open plan or build in cubicles. Most contemporary offices adopt the former approach creating collaborative spaces for staff, however open plan spaces can prove to be distracting. Smaller spaces meanwhile can be challenging and staff can become demotivated and unhappy if they feel closed off.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Exposed Offices <\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have an office that is visible to members of the public, clients and guests, then it is important to maintain a professional appearance. Perhaps the more playful office designs adopted by trendy business are not best suited to exposed glass fronted offices if it appears staff are busy playing table tennis rather than working. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Acoustics <\/strong><br \/>\nSpaces large and small can benefit from careful consideration of acoustics. Excessive noise can be stressful for staff and reduce productivity. A few simple measures to dampen noise levels can work wonders.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nTime and Space <\/strong><br \/>\nHow long are people going to linger in different areas of your office. Will you provide hot desks for staff who regularly work from home? In these cases space can be saved and equipment can be kept to a minimum freeing up space for other purposes in smaller offices <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you want to plan an office layout that will keep all your staff happy and productive?
