Many successful employers today are realizing that an investment in their office space today means increased bottom line tomorrow. Why is that? Why not an austere, 'plain jane', ordinary office space with the conventional desks and chairs seen for 20 years? Its certainly fiscally important...is it not? Several reasons for concern in using dated furniture includes the changing marketplace..perspective of the new employee...minimal loyalty, company hopping, looking for perks, their handshakes don't mean committment, the ties are gone as does much of the work ethic...especially on Fridays! In addition to those important elements (the employee is the largest part of our overhead), fad and fashion have entered the workplace along with the distinct colors that mark the chronology of the office. I also believe that what we put forth in the reception area...style, colors, shapes...gives impressions that can help land or loose a contract. Creative spaces imply.... creative minds inhabit this company..thus saying "we are very capable to managing your order or contract, mr. customer". Not finally, but in addition to those elements mentioned above...the attitude of our employees as our customers come and go from our businesses really dramatically impact for good or not so good , the return of those customers back into our doors with more company sustaining dollars..sweetening our bottom line! So our employees must be very positive/creative and thus reflect our investment in our physical assets.......current and creative office furniture! take a look at what Jason Hughes talks about in his article entitled Office Design is key to employee productivity from the San Diego Source......
