We all know that the reception area is the hub of any organisation. If this part of the office isn’t clean and tidy, there are no good first impressions being made!
It’s really all in the small details, and many of these go by the by, and are forgotten in favor of other, larger endeavors. The thing is, if you want to impress people, it’s about the basics!
Let’s check out a few ways you can dazzle with your reception area, by going back to basics.
• Get rid of rubbish regularly
• Make sure your reception desk is clear of clutter
• Any confidential papers should not be kept in the reception area
• Make people comfortable - offer drinks, have magazines on hand, etc
• Have signs to tell people where bathrooms are
• Install a coat rack and umbrella stand
• Think cushions, think reception chairs which people want to sit in, not hard ones!
• If you have a TV or music on, be very mindful of what is on there and how loud it is
• Avoid strong smelling air fresheners
Can you see how easy it is? All of that with a smile and a helpful nature will have visitors forming the right impression of your business. It’s really not about complicated things! Furnishing your reception area in a way, which reflects your business, is also vital, so search London office furniture online if you need some inspiration.
