Tips to keep your office organized
Keeping the office organized is a big challenge for most companies! In addition to being spatial planning, it also involves the establishment of processes and procedures that standardize daily tasks among employees. This standardization is necessary so that if by chance one employee is absent, another can continue the service without major problems.
An organized office requires persistence, training and a lot of planning. Dealing with people, with different cultures, often opposing habits, diverse life histories, requires a clear posture on the part of the company. Its employees must adapt to the institutional brand concept and this concept must be perceived by the daily work dynamics established as well as by the decorative style and layout of the environments.
Acquiring business furniture, combining quality, functionality and adequate prices does not have to be a stressful task! Follow the text below and discover that keeping your office organized can be a simple and rewarding task. Come on?
How to plan the arrangement of furniture in the environment?
Have you ever heard the expression “a room layout”? But what exactly would this layout be? It is about the arrangement of furniture in the space, the graphic composition, the planned design for a given environment. This is a very common term among interior designers and architects.
It is important to realize that this arrangement of furniture in the space does not arise randomly and directly influences the objective of having an organized office. Generally, an office is a rectangular or square space, with volume and that needs to be filled, with furniture, equipment, decorative objects, lighting, so that people can carry out their activities.
The first step to start working with office space is to have all the measurements of that environment in hand. Measure lengths, heights and widths so you know, with precision, which furniture fits inside your company.
The second step is to identify all the activities that will be carried out within the office. Make a list of all these activities and then determine the equipment and furniture needed to carry out these activities.
The third step is to know the standard measure of equipment and ready-to-deliver furniture that should make up the office environment. Always opt for quality furniture, with good durability and ergonomics (to avoid unnecessary problems with the justice of the work).
The fourth step is to establish the number of people who must have a job in this studied office. Good use of space, with adequate furniture, can greatly optimize the use of space, enabling a greater number of active employees.
The fifth step is to start generating layout alternatives, having all the previous information at hand. Keep in mind that free circulation spaces are essential to keeping an organized office. This type of demand is what defines, for example, whether it is more appropriate to opt for a cabinet with sliding doors or opening doors; common or L-shaped tables.
These five basic steps will help you to master the planning of the environment and thus be able to make more conscious, effective and appropriate choices for your space. Here are some essential tips to keep your office organized, both aesthetically and administratively.
Tips for keeping your office organized
Establishing partnerships with professional and recognized suppliers in the market is extremely important to invest in your office. Therefore, opt for furniture and equipment of good quality and with values that fit within the business budget. The idea of an organized office must be present from the physical to the financial part!
Use the following tips to have the office of your dreams:
- Choose practical furniture: The practicality must be present both in the material chosen, which must be easy to clean and maintain, as well as in use (very heavy furniture or non-ergonomic standards must be avoided);
- Purchase ergonomic furniture: Do you know NR17 (Regulatory Standard, present in the CLT – Consolidation of Labor Laws)? This is a Brazilian standard that regulates the comfort, safety and efficient performance characteristics of office furniture. Check if the chosen furniture follows the legal technical requirements and value your employees!;
- Establish a hierarchy for your drawers: store your most frequently used objects in the most accessible drawers. This way, you can avoid bending or standing up all the time;
- Avoid visible cables: Prefer furniture with threads and use channels of the wall color to install new electrical points. Visual organization is critical to a healthy work environment;
- Avoid the accumulation of paper and documents on the table: Use organization devices to free up space on your desk, thus preventing even the loss of important documents. Good options are: bibliographic box , bibliocant and archives ;
- The more free space for the desktop, the better: Do not rest the CPU and stabilizer on the tabletop. This causes you to lose a lot of usable workspace. Prefer individual supports , and with casters, for these equipments.
- Establish a common place to store office supplies: Help your employees save time when they need glue, scissors, paper clips, stapler, legal paper, hole punch, and more. Establish a central cabinet to store these products and notify all employees. Or if you prefer, assign an employee to control the conscious use of that locker.
- Methodology “One at a time”: Train your employees to use only the necessary material and thus avoid waste. For example, using only one pen at a time until it runs out of ink.
- Establish a place for employees to safely store their belongings: Provide closets and/or lockers with individual keys so that employees can store bags and food that they will consume throughout the day. Avoid unnecessary problems with petty theft and loss of personal belongings;
- Attractive reception: Choose an ergonomic desk for the receptionist and make magazines available to waiting visitors. A good option are magazine racks that also work as sideboards. Take good care of people who have contact with your brand!
- Use the free space on the walls: Don't just get stuck in the worktable space, use the vertical space on the walls! Employ niches , for example, and make available books, magazines, or even put your creativity into practice and decorate the environment with plants or objects related to the company's activity.
