How to design your workspace?

WORKSPACE, OFFICE

Improve your work performance with a customised design of your work space!

Find out what you need to do to provide your employees with a friendly place to live:

1/ Define the zones well:

Each work area must be perfectly delimited. 

  • Offices: for a group office, it is advisable not to exceed 5 people. Open space offices can accommodate a maximum of 10 people.
  • The relaxation area: this area is essential for the well-being and morale of the partners
  • The kitchen: it should not be close to the offices 
  • Meeting rooms: they should be set up in a quiet environment for greater productivity and, above all, with the principle of confidentiality

2/ The choice of furniture :

It is important that the premises are bright. In this case, employees work in a pleasant and stimulating environment.

Focus on office furniture:

  • The desk: it must be large enough to accommodate computer equipment while providing a working space for easy consultation of files
  • Seating: The choice of seats and chairs influences the comfort and ergonomics of the work. It is necessary to pay attention to its ability to follow the user's movements
  • Storage areas: these must be large enough to accommodate the size of the files/folders. These spaces also allow for joint communication between employees

Also consider having extra furniture to use during your interviews.

3/ Acoustics :  

In a low-noise environment, your employees benefit from :

  • Adrenaline reduction
  • Improved motivation
  • Increased performance and concentration
  • Stress reduction

4/ Lighting:

In order to avoid fatigue, your choice is to use as much natural light as possible.

5/ The colours :

  • Warm colours: yellow or orange are recommended in relaxation areas or in the kitchen if the light is not aggressive
  • Cool colours: black and white are suitable for large luxury and high fashion companies

6/ Decoration :

For a more harmonious space, opt for decorative accessories, from clocks to mouse pads!
