Office relocation guide
New office design and floor plan
The design of your new office is very important as it can maximise communication and operational
efficiencies while boosting employee productivity and wellbeing. A badly-planned office could lead
to you losing staff and compromising business processes which, in turn, could lose you customers.
Consider:
Positioning of work teams
Interdependence between teams (which teams interact the most and need to work in close
proximity?)
Future staffing requirements within each team (which team is likely to grow the most, least?)
Is there flexibility to move teams around if required (are they dependent on positioning of
technology, fixed fixtures etc)?
Space available for desks vs empty, ‘living’ space
Location of workstations
Location of shelving, partitioning
Refurbishment requirements (carpets, blinds, lighting, heating etc.)
Design requirements – colour schemes, artwork, creative touches
New signage
