It’s the responsibility of any company to maximise efficiency in the workplace, but what about the workplace itself? Could we beusing that more effectively?

Here are some tips for making the most of the space you’ve got.

Get rid of clutter

Clutter isn’t just a physical barrier to work, but a mental one, easily becoming a distraction from the task at hand. A clear and defined work area suggests a sense of purpose, and subconsciously prepares the mind for the working day.

Smaller desks and folding furniture

In today’s paperless office, a large office desk is something of an anachronism. While smaller desks are a must, folding furniture can be even better, giving more space to available staff if not everybody is in the office at a given time.

Use vertical space

It’s amazing how little we think of the vertical in an office environment. Shelving areas that mount the walls; office desks with overhead storage areas; file apertures (not unlike magazine racks) attached to cubicle walls. The possibilities are endless.

Laptops

Just as the big office desk is a thing of the past, so is the desktop computer. By using laptops, you eliminate the need for bulky towers and monitors, as wellas space for separate keyboards and mice.

Use unproductive space well

Any unused space can be put to productive use. The area around a central support pillar? Perfect for stand-up meetings and huddles. The main corridor? Why not install wall-mounted portable phones for office use?
