Understanding the business case for redesigning your workplace

Businesses are often looking at ways to maximise productivity whilst keeping costs nominal and in Northamptonshire, we’re seen a rise in hybrid working so creating exceptional workspaces is crucial for employee retention.

However, redesigning and creating a new space can be a cost that needs to be accounted for and so businesses need to define the business case for investing in a workplace redesign.

At iOTA interiors, based in the vibrant county of Northamptonshire, we recognise the pivotal role that a well-designed workplace plays in shaping organisational success.

Productivity and Performance:

Offering an inviting workspace is a fantastic bonus to not only new potential employees but existing ones. If teams feel that their company invests in their people they will be inclined to stay to benefit the perks! A focused team will also be able to hit project targets successfully if their workspaces are vibrant, engaging and energising rather than energy zapping.

Talent retention and attraction:

As we mentioned above, retaining talent is incredibly important but attracting good quality candidates is a tough game in 2024 so you need everything in your arsenal to get the best people. Jobs are always a balance of what the candidate can offer you as well as what you can offer them and your workspace is an easy win to offer great perks and benefits.

Brand image and perception

First impressions and perception is incredibly important in a dog-eat-dog world so why not let your physical location be the defining factor. We can all think of places we’ve visited that leave a lasting impression from high quality furnishings, beautiful details or hospitality that adds a luxury touch. You can achieve all of that in your Northamptonshire office too!

So when you’re formulating a business case to your fellow partners, directors and trustees, these are the considerations we’d advise thinking about to show your team the benefits of revamping your workplace in 2024!
