When refreshing a workplace many employers don’t know when or how to fix up the workspace, but our AOI experts have you covered!
Our AOI experts understand best on how to refresh and fix up a workspace, with a consensus on educating, understanding, and change are the three things our clients should know before starting anything.
Understanding How to Refresh a Workplace
One of the main points our AOI experts came to was that understanding your employees are a major part of helping to refresh a workspace. Employers need to understand that the employees have needs and wants when it comes to the office space. Below is a quote from one of our experts with their thoughts on the matter.
“When considering a workplace refresh or reconfiguration, one must consider the unique needs of the employees. Is the nature of the work more individual or collaborative? Is there sensitive information being spoken about, to the degree that employees need spaces that have more privacy? Knowing these needs will help determine what the office refresh really looks like.” – Jennifer Anselmo, Showroom Manager
Educating on How to Refresh a Workplace
Our AOI experts feel that educating our client on how and when to refresh a workplace is one of the most important keys to successfully fix the place up. Here at AOI we take pride in knowing what the right trends are to refreshing the workspace and we hope we can help you in that process to do it right and perfectly.
“Current Trends. While we do a lot of questioning to better understand the client needs as well as culture and vision, it’s important to expound on current trends to help guide them on their journey to outfit the space for not only today, but tomorrow.” – Todd Storz, Executive Vice President
Change When Refreshing a Workplace
When changing a workplace a huge difficulty can be the change in general. Many do not like change and with changes in style and materials getting older, change can be a stressful thing for not just the employer but for the employee as well. But with the help from our AOI experts change can become easier and more stress free.
“Old sturdy products can get a face lift with new fabric, new laminates, or new paints. New Ancillary products can be added to revitalize the space like screens, tackboards, and power accessories. Furniture uglies out before it wares out and AOI has the expertise and experience to save money and land fills from making a reconfigure or refresh to costly.” – Nicole Wynkoop, Director of Design
