Have you been reading about future office trends and you’ve decided you want to go down the route of a smart office? Equally as smart a choice, but where do you actually begin?
If you’re not sure why you should even be thinking about this, check out this infographic for a little extra persuasion.
As you can see, the future is very smart!
These are the areas you need to consider:
- The office space you already have and how to accommodate different types of technology
- Where you can place collaborative areas and quiet areas
- Do you have space for zones for breaks and entertainment?
- All of the above needs floor space, do you have enough?
- What types of technology are best used within your business? What will be useful and what will be a waste of cash? Research is key.
- Sensors – A smart office requires sensors to be placed around the room, to allow different tech methods to communicate with each other
- Meeting and conference book booking software and facilities
- Artificial intelligence (AI) methods which may work within your office
Opting for a smart office is a true investment in the future. An office isn’t just about chairs, tables, desks, storage, and how it all comes together, it’s about the methods of working which create a productive environment. When you consider all of this alongside key health and safety issues, your staff will be motivated, safe, healthy, and ultra-productive as a result.
