As companies are encouraged to adjust the number of employees working in an office, your office may seem a bit emptier, and perhaps more spacious. Using a minimalistic approach to your office interior can help make the most of underutilized spaces and decrease clutter. For example, switching several storage units to one multipurpose cabinet can reduce the number of surfaces prone to contamination. Repurposing your ‘dead spaces’ into multipurpose spaces is a great way to get your employees to spread out into space you never even knew you had. Digitizing unnecessary papers and documents can also be a great start to reducing storage space. Going ‘paperless’ not only cuts down clutter, but your ecological footprint as a company, and in the long run, costs.
Consider creating a mentally safe space for your team as, understandably, employees might be feeling more anxious than usual. Be sure to increase employee awareness without raising panic. Update them on ways to safe around the office, send out resources and keep them informed of current political mandates, encourage sick team members to take the rest they need to promote both physical wellness and mental clarity.
We promise – it helps! Consider holding your morning huddle of three in a more spacious meeting room. Try taking some of your meetings online, especially if your team is scattered between the office and remote work. If your office isn’t currently configurated to be ‘distancing-friendly’, perhaps it’s time for a change.
