First impressions are very important. As such it is vital that any client or potential employee feels inspired and optimistic from the moment that they first visit your premises. If your office space is in need of rejuvenation, have you considered a professional service for office refurbishment in Reading from Active?
The Importance Of A Great First Impression
Whenever somebody enters into a new building, they will have a first impression of the building and those who work there. Yes it is possible to recover from a poor first impression, however do you really want to start at a disadvantage?
10 Tips To Create A Great First Impression
Here is a short list of 10 tips that can help you to create an office space that gives a great first impression.
1. Have An Organised Space
You wouldn't want to
keep a potential client or potential employee waiting for an unreasonable amount of time
whilst you try to find relevant information and documents. As such it is very important
that you workspace is organised.
An office refurbishment in
Reading service can help you to create a more organised and functional
working environment. This way you can utilise storage solutions to quickly find what you
need and return to your meeting.
2. Is Your Workplace Accessible For People With Disabilities Or
Those With Difficulty Walking?
If you're considering improving your
workplace with office refurbishment in Reading, making changes to your workplace in
order to make it accessible to wheelchair-users would be a good way to help design a
workplace that creates a great first impression of your business.
3. Create A Comfortable And Welcoming Reception Area
When a guest arrives for a meeting, they should be able to wait in a
comfortable area. Choose a relaxing chair that matches your branding. You could even
extend comfort to areas outside of furniture by offering refreshments such as a cup of
tea, coffee or juice with a selection of biscuits and/or pieces of fresh fruit.
4. Make Sure Everything Looks Fresh
Do your walls
look like they need to be repainted? Do your carpets look like they should be cleaned?
Sometimes you don't need a large refurbishment service to update your
workplace. With the Fix-It office maintenance service from Active you can give your
workplace the TLC it needs to create a good first impression for any guests that visit
your premises.
5. Create A Comfortable And Stylish Meeting Room
If your business's current meeting room is poorly designed, an office refurbishment
service could help you to create a stylish and comfortable environment that reflects
your business's brand in which you can have meetings with clients, potential employees
and other guests.
6. Include Plants
Plants are fantastic additions
to the workplace. In addition to providing some natural beauty to the workplace, placing
plants in between seating can provide guests with privacy if multiple guests are waiting
in the same area.
Additionally many would argue that by including natural
elements such as plants in your workplace, you can make the office environment feel more
welcoming and inviting.
7. Display Your Business's Logo
Make sure that
guests can see your business's logo as soon as they enter the building. Eliminate any
fears that they may not be in the correct place. You want the guest to feel comfortable
and happy from the moment that they arrive, so make sure that all your decorations and
colours are on brand with your company's logo.
8. How Many Visitors Do You Get?
A working
environment that has a large amount of visitors has a different set of requirements to
an office space that has a small number of visitors. For example, if you have multiple
visitors a month, a reception area and a hardwearing flooring material could be very
useful.
However, an office that has a low number of employees in a building and
has very few visitors during the year (perhaps less than 5) might be better suited to a
more relaxed approach.
For example, you could create a breakout area that
doubles as a waiting room. This means that guests can still relax in a comfortable space
and help themselves to refreshments, but it also makes the best use out of available
space in the building.
9. Your Choice Of Lighting
Your office could look
amazing, but if your lighting is poor, it can leave your guests with a poor impression
of your business.
When considering office refurbishment in Reading with the
goal of improving first impressions of the office space, make sure you include as much
natural light as possible. This way you can avoid dimly lit areas, instead creating a
bright and inviting workplace.
