Did you know that most desks are occupied only for 50% of the time, and 60% at most?

One of the first steps towards changing the way people work is to carry out a space audit to map how they are using their office. It gives the opportunity to remodel the way the space is used. Specialist design companies can redesign and refit offices to suit better the new ways of working.

Changes may mean the company needs less property and can cut overheads and operating costs or that space can be used to improve the work environment, adding more meeting rooms, breakout areas or a cafe, for instance. The idea is to reduce cost and add value at the same time.

An ideal office design would allow for maximum flexibility, so that as work practices change with projects, clients and employees, the space can change too.
