Planning the Ultimate Executive Office Suite
Planning a quality Executive Office environment is more than just creating a “nice” working environment, but is an essential to provide a healthy, safe and creative place to be.
Taking care of the design may seem to be simply an issue of creating something that is “pleasing to the eye”, but it is much more. Providing the right furnishing so that sickness problems such as Back pane and Repetitive Strain Injury do not affect critical team members is absolutely essential.
In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive indicates that one in every six sickness days is lost from back pain, from which more than 80% of the population suffer.
For the average earning worker this equates to an annual loss of employee time along with the financial implications. Once you extend this to Company Executives and the significance of their individual contributions to the company, the costs multiply significantly and could result in business collapse.
High quality furniture along with effective design accounting for critical ergonomics is essential. The costs involved are not simple expense, they are essential investment.
When creating the Executive Office, with so much at stake, consideration of the threat of the financial effect of getting the design wrong is of vital importance and adequate risk assessment of the consequences of getting it wrong are critical.
Accounting for these issues are the primary essentials for considering forming effective working spaces for Company Decision makers.
Making these environments a pleasure to work in with careful design applied to all the furnishings, Desks, Chairs, other Seating, Storage, Lighting, Decoration and other fittings invariably results in higher productivity and reduced staff turnover.
So whether considering opening new offices or refurbishing existing it is a grave and potentially costly mistake to go for the cheap option and minimum of design consideration.
