There are two parts to starting a business. One part is the business itself and the second one is finding the perfect office to run that business out of. Your business needs a functional idea, various teams that execute that idea, suppliers, distributors, an online presence, and a number of other things. Your office, on the other hand, also needs a number of things.
When you are a small business or just starting out, it is easy to work out of a garage, coworking spaces, or cafes. But as you scale up, your infrastructural needs also grow. Three people can work out of a garage, but three hundred people will need an office.
A business can be considered a somewhat dynamic entity. But the office has to support that dynamism.
So How Do You Build The Perfect Office?
With the right equipment, of course!
- The building:
Depending on your budget, space requirements, and if you need a manufacturing unit nearby, you can pick between an office space in downtown, and on the outskirts. - Furnishing:
The design of the furniture will depend on the overall style you want to follow. But there are some elements you have to keep in mind. The chairs should be ergonomic and comfortable, the desks can be modular so that it can be both a traditional desk and a standing desk. The tables in the conference rooms have to be outfitted with power sockets and for cable management. If you are building cubicles for each person, design those to give maximum space and privacy, while also promoting openness. Furnish special areas for lounging, reading, and some flexible workspaces. Nap pods are also a popular office feature. - Communication equipment:
Get modular bulk cables to outfit each and every cubicle with a phone that ideally also works as an intercom. When your office has multiple floors and agile teams working on different floors, an intercom system can be quite effective for inter team communication. For teams that work with clients, these phones come in handy as a telephone conversation familiarizes more than an email does. - Internet connectivity equipment:
Just like telephone communication is important, the internet is crucial. In order to get the best connection, multiple things need to be right. The telephone cable wire, the wiring in the walls, the router, the modem, the ethernet cables, and the ISP. Since the computers or laptops in each employees’ cubicle are there to stay, you can wire it with an ethernet cable. For WiFi, you can set up a mesh network in the building. - Access and security:
At each entry point, you can have a biometric scanner or card scanner which only allows authorized personnel to enter a particular area. Place CCTV cameras at entrances, in elevators, in stairwells, in server rooms, and even inside the main office areas. - IT equipment:
Going for computers or laptops that are simply cost-effective is not a wise investment choice. You want to have computers that can carry the load and run for a long time. At the same time, not all of these computers need to be fancy. The design team, however, should have specced out computers that can render whatever is needed efficiently. You will need to invest in headphones, TVs for the lounge areas and conference rooms, projectors, microphones, mobile phones, tablets, etc. - Cafeteria:
Building out a proper cafeteria with utensils, microwave, refrigerator, beverages, and snacks promotes a better lifestyle for your employees. Eating meals in an office cafeteria is not simply about the meal itself, but also acts as a necessary icebreaker through the formalities of inter team dealings.
