22 August 2017. There are enough factors that could derail your business<\/a>: the last thing you want is for your company to be compromised by something that is entirely avoidable. While most business owners have more pressing things to think about than the cleanliness and spaciousness of their facilities, the facts show that it\u2019s something they need to be paying attention to. A survey conducted in 2015 found that workers in disorganized offices were up to 72 percent less productive than those who worked in tidy offices. No company, no matter how big they are, can afford to be losing out on 72 percent of potential work. Below, we take a look at ways you can sort out your office and boost your workforce.<\/p>\n

Decluttering<\/b><\/p>\n

Nobody notices that space is becoming cluttered. It happens slowly, and it\u2019s only when you\u2019re trying to find what\u2019s wrong with your office space that you realize you\u2019ve just got too much stuff in there. Earmark anything that doesn\u2019t have to be onsite on a daily basis, as well as those things that can be discarded altogether. You\u2019ll likely have collected items that over the course of several years in your office that have no bearing on your company anymore.<\/p>\n

Make the most of storage<\/b><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t yet made the switch to being a paperless company yet, you\u2019ll likely have boxes of documents lying around the office. You might also have equipment and extra tables and chairs that you only use when you have business visitors. These things don\u2019t have to be onsite at all times. Have a look at storage options near to your facility. You\u2019ll be able to retrieve the items whenever you need them, but they\u2019ll crucially be kept out of everyone\u2019s way when you don\u2019t!<\/p>\n

Add extra space<\/b><\/p>\n

If you have space, then why not add an extra building to your office premises? The cost to erect a 50×100 metal building<\/a> is affordable and can provide you with some much-needed extra storage or office space. They\u2019re also easy to assemble, and once they\u2019re up, you\u2019ll have a storage unit located right next to your primary place of business, or you can dedicate the space for one of the teams within your organization to work in.<\/p>\n

Feng shui<\/b><\/p>\n

As well as tidying and decluttering, you\u2019ll notice an increase in employee productivity and engagement of you adopt the feng shui approach to your office. To do this, you\u2019ll need to think about where and how you\u2019re arranging your desks, select the right colors, and harmonize the room, with stress relievers placed around the room too. There\u2019s an art to this, so read up on the philosophy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fewer people, more space<\/b><\/p>\n

Too many cooks spoil the broth. If your office is overcrowded, but you can\u2019t currently do anything about it, then consider adopting flexible hour practices<\/a> for your employees. That way, you\u2019ll avoid the office being jammed all the day – and you\u2019ll also increase employee happiness and productivity, too. Remote working will also have the same effect.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let your office take control of your company; take control of your office!<\/p>\n
