Creating a great place to work

TAKE a moment to take a look around your office. Most companies still underestimate the effect that an uninspiring or cluttered space can have on staff motivation, creativity and productivity. A pleasant environment to work in tells staff that a company is on the up and looking to the future, and is a good place to be.

TAKE a moment to take a look around your office. Most companies still underestimate the effect that an uninspiring or cluttered space can have on staff motivation, creativity and productivity. A pleasant environment to work in tells staff that a company is on the up and looking to the future, and is a good place to be. When staff see a tired, worn out environment it can send an unintended message of negativity – particularly in a volatile economy. One solution could be to head off to the nearest superstore or go online to buy a new desk or replace the battered chair but Steve Allan, Managing Director of Verve Workspace believes this option is a false economy, and could be short sighted. The Northampton-based office furniture and interior experts have worked with clients across the country looking for different ways to make the most of their space and their budget. Steve said: “We are helping customers to make the best of their offices to improve morale and productivity. There is a reason why successful international brands take so much time considering their workspace.  So many unseen factors can easily be overlooked when designing an office. It’s more than just plonking some new desks in an office – thinking about good lighting, internal traffic, considering noise levels, creative use of colours and of course comfort and ergonomics – all add up to making an office a great place to work.” All businesses want to keep a close eye on the bottom line which is where the team at Verve Workspace can come in to their own. Clients can choose from a wealth of styles including an own brand cost-effective furniture range that comes with a five year guarantee. Steve said: “Business people may think they have saved money through buying desks online but when they want to replace one or buy more furniture they will find the range is no longer available. Our independence means we can work with a wide range of suppliers and this means clients can feel confident that further down the line they can increase or replace their furniture in the same style. “Staff retention is always important to businesses so, making sure that their biggest asset is able to be productive and creative is vital. At Verve Workspace we believe in offering an excellent service and show how to do this without breaking the bank,” said Steve Contact Verve Workspace on 01604 217879 if you are looking to move, expand, or breathe new life into existing premises or see the website at www.verveworkspace.co.uk
