Moving your office to a new location involves a myriad of decisions. Not only do you need to ensure that the new office is on brand and offers employees and staff a great experience, but you also have to manage the change with existing employees.
Some of the questions that office managers and business owners ask during this time include:
Be Prepared Prior to move day, make sure that everything that can fit into a crate or a box is packed away into a crate or a box. Desks, cupboards, and drawers need to be empty. IT equipment needs to be sealed in an IT bag. Personal items, valuables, and breakables should be placed in a specific area to be taken home. Every Item Needs a Label Everything that needs to be moved needs to have a label or else the movers won’t know where to put the boxes when they arrive at the new location. Relook Your Office Furniture Now is the perfect time to sell your old office furniture and upgrade to contemporary office furniture.

Many things are responsible for the creation of greenhouse gas, but buildings are right at the top of the list. Power usage, emissions, and the resources used to renovate them all add up, and many offices aren’t built once. When we can’t figure out how to make them work for us anymore, they are often demolished.
If your company is embarking on an office redesign, it is a prime opportunity to incorporate green features. Here are a few ideas: Sustainable Lighting Switch office light bulbs from normal bulbs to energy-saving light bulbs. While the initial cost is more expensive, the light bulbs will save you a lot of money on electricity bills. Natural Lighting If the office redesign includes a large revamp where office walls will be changed, try to include more windows so that employees have more natural lighting during the day. Water-Saving Fixtures Water-saving fixtures throughout the building can drastically reduce the amount of water the building consumes in a month. Architectural Office Partitions Instead of focusing on a permanent redesign, why not opt for architectural office partitions? Not only do these movable walls offer greater layout flexibility, but it can be used to help create the new spaces and boardrooms that are needed without buying more building materials. Going green doesn’t have to mean higher costs for your office. When you implement more sustainable business practices, you will see why being good to the environment is also good for the bottom line.

Companies who have ergonomic plans in place have not only been able to dramatically reduce the number of lost workdays among their workforce, but they are also able to lower employee turnover.
The good news is that helping employees to avoid injuries and retaining your staff are not as costly as you might necessarily assume. Here are office ergonomic design flaws that you can easily change to improve the way your staff works: Poor Lighting Needless to say, your employees need adequate lighting to perform their tasks. Make sure that office areas are equipped with high-quality lighting so that nobody has to squint to read the words on their screens. Lack of Adjustable Seats People are unique, and the way they adjust their seats will vary from person to person. Adjustable seats can ensure that everyone is able to customize their workspace so that they are at the right height in front of their desks. Lack of Sit Stand Desks By now, most people have heard that sitting is the new smoking, but what is so bad about sitting? The fundamental principle is that a sedentary lifestyle and the physiological changes that ensue are harmful to us. There is a lot of evidence that shows physical inactivity is linked to higher morbidity and mortality. Sit stand desks are a great alternative to conventional desks because it gives employees the option to stand for periods of the day. Flexible Office Desks Flexible office desks, such as those available from BE Furniture, enable employees to adjust virtually every aspect of their workstations to suit the tasks they need to perform.

As most people know, offices create a lot of waste in the form of everything from packaging and containers to coffee stirrers, paper, and garbage.
Changing employees’ perspective on waste reduction needs to start small. Implementing a Bring Your Own Reusable Bottle initiative is a great place to start if you want to combine modern office design ideas with actionable waste reduction strategies. Here is how to go about it: Create a Sustainability Task Force This is especially helpful in a large workforce where everybody doesn’t know each other’s name. Before you launch the Bring Your Own Reusable Bottle project, create a sustainability task force who is willing to start by bringing their own reusable bottles to work. Your waste reduction strategy is much more likely to stick if you have a group of people who are excited about the initiative. Make the Transition Gradual Sometimes, change can lead to anxiety. If you predict that it might be challenging to get everyone to switch to reusable bottles, leave a pack of plastic cups near the water cooler in plain sight for everyone to see. The chances are good that when the plastic cups are finished, people won’t know where to find more and it will simply seem like less effort to bring their own reusable bottles to work. Get Your Own Made If you have a budget for your Bring Your Own Reusable Bottle initiative, then this is a no-brainer. What better way to encourage employees to reduce waste than by giving them a personalized water bottle or a water bottle with the company logo on it? Give employees the impression that you are serious about their future and the future of the company’s sustainability program with contemporary office interiors and furniture.
