Ten Ways to Design Your Startup’s Office for a Productive Workforce – Part 2

A productive workforce doesn’t happen by accident and customizing for each department can maximize your team’s results. Creating a productive space for your startup means investing into quality furniture and planning for success. These are five more ways to design your startup’s office.

Catch up on Part 1 here.

Invest in Quality Workspaces

While it can be tempting to save money on office furniture, this isn’t the line item you want to skimp on. Investing in quality workspaces for your team means it just works, without finagling manual sit-stand mechanics or worrying if you have enough collaborative space.

We’re proud creators of “The Light Bulb” test. If you position a desk under a lightbulb, eventually someone will stand on it to replace it. Our products are built to last, no matter how many lightbulbs blow out.

Blend Efficiency and Productivity

Efficiency and productivity aren’t mutually exclusive. The desire for an efficient office may result in a lack of productivity. The reverse is true as well. A productive space isn’t always space efficient.

By blending efficiency and productivity, you can maximize the amount of space in your office while giving your team a space where they can thrive. With our WeDesk Open model, you have space efficient designs that are built for productivity and Collaborative Ergonomics to build a healthy, happy, and more productive startup.

Focus on Expandable Workspaces for Project-Based Work

Some projects need more workspace than others, which is why expandable workspaces are an essential part of a productive office. The less time spent shuffling papers, the more time spent finessing your latest update or campaign.

With our Mobile Work Tables, you can increase your workspace when you need it, and store it away when you don’t. It also adds storage, which is often lacking in offices. Have we mentioned it’s elevator friendly?

Organize for Success

One of the most important elements of a productive office is its organization. It’s more than placing desks with room to move about; it’s forming pods for team-based work and ensuring everyone has what they need close by. This could mean placing a Mobile Work Table near each pod stocked with office supplies or placing relevant teams near each other for support.

By strategizing together, we can create an organizational structure to your office that fits your unique needs.

Customize Each Desk to the Position

Every department requires slightly different desk setups. Whether this is multiple screens and space for a Wacom tablet or one screen with a larger work area for paperwork, maximize productivity with department-specific desks. The less unusable space your team has, the better they’ll be able to work.

With our design once, build twice design ethos, we’re able to draw from our extensive product catalog and modify as needed to meet your startup’s unique needs.

Building an office for your startup begins with a plan and ends with a productive space where your employees can thrive. And it begins by taking each of these points into consideration.
