When it comes to creating a workplace strategy, there is no one size fits all solution. Therefore it is crucial that with every project, each workplace strategy is tailored to the exact needs of the company.
In order to achieve the individual needs of our clients, we divide our workplace strategy service into three distinct sections: business, space, and people. By separating out our service into three components, our team can clearly see how a workplace strategy can improve each individual area, as well as the workplace overall.
In this blog, we’re going to look at each strategy area in-depth, including what questions you should ask yourself in order to create a valuable workplace strategy.
A major factor to consider when curating a workplace strategy is the position that your business is currently in, and the position you want your business to be in in the future.
If you are planning for your business’ future growth, it may be worth pondering a completely new location. Alternatively, if you are comfortable where you are, a simple office refurbishment may be your only requirement.
Additionally, you’ll also need to think about aspects such as office branding, as this could dictate where your office is located, as well as your office design.
Understanding your space and how daily activities are carried out in it is also important for any workplace strategy.
Analysing your current workspace (both the building your office is situated in and where any work takes place) will allow you to identify how effective your current office space is at facilitating your business processes, and how it can be improved to better support a variety of working styles.
Within this, technology will also be an important factor to consider. Particularly where virtual communication, hybrid and
remote working have become the ‘new normal’, having quality tech features in the office space is now more important than ever.
Your staff are at the forefront of your business and are the driving force that keeps it growing and evolving. Because of this, it is crucial that your workforce is a top priority when curating a workplace strategy to ensure any design changes actually support your employees on a daily basis.
To make sure this is the case, it is important to constantly engage with employees to encourage them to share their opinions and feedback. Having this information to refer back to will help you discover what currently works well for them in the office, as well as what could be implemented in future strategies to better optimise their productivity and performance.
When trying to create a well-rounded workplace strategy, putting this process into action can be quite overwhelming; this is where we come in. Workplace strategy, or workplace consultancy, is one of our key services at Building Interiors.
