2024 is on our doorstep and now is the time to think about what to consider if you’re looking for a new office space for the new year…

‍

Wellbeing areas 

Many office providers have implemented wellbeing areas, such as gyms and yoga/meditation studios as bonus additions to their spaces. Giving your employees the opportunity to easily access wellbeing areas will positively impact their work-life balance and personal development. 

‍

Breakout Space / Meeting rooms 

When searching for a new office, we recommend having a think about how much breakout space you need and how many meeting rooms are required for your team. Maybe you’d rather opt for phone booths than a private meeting room? Do you want a lounge area as part of your dedicated space? These are a few things to think about when visualising what you want from your move. 

‍

Local amenities 

It is important to consider local amenities such as proximity to shops, transport links, on-site parking, bike storage and hospitality common areas. These may seem like small considerations, however they are arguably the most valuable to your employees and have become important factors in attracting and retaining staff. 

‍

ESG - Friendly 

We know what you’re probably thinking… What is ESG? 

Environmental Social Governance, in short, is a credential that office space providers attain when they meet and exceed certain sustainability and wellness standards. Today, many providers have turned commitments into action with their sustainability efforts, as occupiers have expressed interest and demand for quality ESG compliant office spaces. 

‍

Value 

Evaluating the space as a whole is crucial. Consider all of the above points together - Are you getting the best value outcome for your personal requirements?
