There are so many factors to consider when it comes to running a successful business. There’s customer service, product and service development, marketing, financial planning and staff management… and that’s just for starters.
But what about the physical space where you do business? Many organisations don’t give a lot of thought to their office space, but neglecting this could mean you’re missing out on big opportunities.
One of the major mistakes businesses make when it comes to their office is not investing in flexible space.
How could flexible office space transform your business?
Not sure how making the leap to a more flexible serviced office provider could make a difference for out business? Here are four key ways that doing so could make a very tangible impact.
1. It could make your employees happier
Survey after survey has shown that employees are more content when they’re given more control over their working hours and environment. (Here’s an article that sums this up brilliantly). The good news for management and business owners is that happier employees make more productive employees. The change of atmosphere that comes with adopting more flexible working patterns or moving to a space that offers a variety of desk options (from co working to shared offices and larger enclosed spaces) could give your organisation just the boost it needs to get to the next level.
2. It could give you access to valuable support services
One of the biggest benefits of investing in flexible office space is that it generally comes with the option to tap into far more than just the office! Many flexible serviced office providers offer additional facilities such as room hire, a manned reception, call answering and administrative support. These kinds of services can enable even the smallest start up to appear polished, professional and thoroughly put together in front of their clients.
3. It could enable you to access high quality business meeting rooms without the rental price tag
Office facilities such as meeting rooms, board rooms and conference spaces are all fantastic to have, but they can be a huge drain on company finances to invest in them all the time. Flexible office space solves this problem as it makes these facilities available to you when you need them without having to significantly increase your rental budget.
4. It could allow your business to grow without incurring financial penalties
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a flexible office space provider is that it can future proof your business. No longer are you tied into long contracts or stuck with limited office space; if you want to take on additional staff, incorporate more storage space or take on a meeting room on a permanent basis, a flexible office space provider will be able to work with you to meet your needs.
When the time comes to rent office space, choosing an office suite that comes with flexible options really could make all the difference.
