An office refurbishment can provide enormous benefits to staff productivity and morale when completed but it can also sap time and enthusiasm from your staff whilst the process is being considered, planned and finally underway.
Maybe an office refurbishment is required to improve space ratios and take advantage of smaller footprint workstations, or just to bring your office environment up to a modern standard and to rearrange existing team structures.
Or possibly an office refurbishment project is necessitated due to a relocation, or the opening of a new office or the merger of two companies or two previously discrete locations.
Whatever your reasons for undertaking an office refurbishment there are a number of steps to overcome to ensure that your project creates the:
Right outcome- In the right timescale
- And for the right price
- If you can achieve all these then you should be well on the way to a successful
- refurbishment project and advance planning and attention to detail throughout the project will help achieve all three of these objectives.
Staff can also feel threatened by the change a refurbishment and reorganisation project brings and these emotions need to be expected and anticipated. By focusing on the positive aspects and keeping staff informed and involved, it is possible to minimise these fears, but the time required should not be underestimated, and this liaison process should start as early as possible.
It is likely that you will want to bring in external teams to advise and manage the day to day running of the project but with some simple strategies and proper expertise you can ensure your staff can continue to focus on their business of running your business during what is a time consuming and challenging period.
