Update Your Office and Breakroom with These Tips

by Samantha Hadden

Is your business looking to upgrade their office space or breakroom? These changes could play a bigger role in your office productivity, creativity, and employee retention. Before you take the plunge, update your office and breakroom with these tips.

Get your employees’ ideas:

It’s easier to get your employees excited about change when they play an active role in tossing out ideas. Ask everyone to come up with three changes they would like to see in the new workspace. Discuss the changes that will be happening and give an explanation for what they can expect. When everyone is on the same page, the transition can be a lot smoother and more exciting.

Include co-working spaces that encourage teamwork:

Consider adding collaboration stations where your employees can gather and encourage them to move around throughout the day to experience new people and spaces inside your office. Create social working hours where employees can hear ideas from others and be inspired by their coworkers and office space. This also allows for managers with offices to step out and enjoy the collaboration in a casual setting.

Have adjustable desks and tables:

Sitting can be detrimental to your employees’ health. Take the time with your office remodel to add in stand-up desks and collaboration areas. This can help decrease sedentary routines and shows you care about your employees’ health and well-being.

Consider switching up your refreshment solution:

Consider a micro market or offer a new variety of coffee to perk up employees. These changes can be exciting and encourage employees to stay on site for lunch. Looking for a way to keep track of your office supplies? We can customize a controlled dispensing solution that reduces supply costs up to  40 percent. Who doesn’t like to save money?

Offer up some fun and games:

Add a place for your employees to have fun either during their break or after work. Games are a great way to encourage team building and can help spark creativity and problem-solving. A common area with a pool table or ping-pong table can also encourage your employees to get to know their co-workers, which can build up your company culture.

No matter what changes your company is able to make, keep your employees engaged and excited by showing updates and allowing them to be a part of the process. Updating an office or breakroom is exciting and gives the company the chance to show their culture in a fun and personal way. What changes would you like to see in your breakroom or office space?
