With
Christmas fast approaching and many offices closing over the Christmas period,
an empty office can be, in fact, the perfect Christmas gift for your business.
“An Empty Office Doesn’t Have To Be Empty”
While
your company is having some Christmas down time, here are 5 tips for what to do
with your empty office.
1) Declutter
Look
around your current office environment. Are the desks tidy? Imagine you are a
client visiting – what impression would your office give? Use the empty office
time to sort through your office and throw out anything that is not needed.
2) Repaint
We know
how good the rooms in our homes look after a repaint, so why not treat your
office to a fresh coat of paint? Current colour schemes can be continued, or
new colours (and even rebranding) can be introduced.
3) Renew
Does
your office furniture look tired and dated? An empty office is an ideal time to
disconnect computers, remove old furniture, install new desks and chairs and
reinstate computer systems (or even upgrade them!).
4) New Layout
Offices
can often look totally different if there is a new layout. Use an empty office
as an opportunity to play around with layout ideas. However, don’t forget it
will need to work once “bodies are in seats” – a new layout may look great in
an empty office but may not be practical once staff are in the room working.
5) Organize
Organization
is key – everything should have its place in your office. Ensure files and
documents are stored neatly and are accessible. When your new look office is
unveiled to your workforce, take time to discuss your expectations as to how
things should be kept. If your office organization is maintained, your new look
office will still look new come next December!
How are
you going to make the most of YOUR empty office this Christmas?
