SPACE PLANNING & INTERIORS


DOES YOUR WORKPLACE WORK?


Luis De Souza, of NFS Technology Group advises how prime London office spaces can give your business the best possible, with just a few simple changes.


An empty desk is an expensive commodity for any business these days, particularly in the City of London, where it will be costing a cool £18,000 every year. In fact, poor space utilisation is thought to be a factor contributing to the UK’s dismal productivity record – we currently lag behind other G7 countries despite our strengthening economy.


It’s not hard to see why inefficient office use drags down productivity. A frustrated staff member wandering round the building looking in vain

for workspace is hardly able to contribute to the bottom line.


However, for businesses looking to save costs, a move to cheaper accommodation may be not feasible. Organisations often need expensive locations for good commercial reasons involving opportunity, facilities and networking. For instance, HSBC recently opted to keep its headquarters in London despite being on a £3.4 billion savings drive.


So it makes perfect sense for any


business, whatever their location, to make the most of available accommodation, wasting nothing and providing facilities that keep their staff happy and working efficiently.


The solution to driving up productivity while cutting costs, lies in a potent combination of great office design and state-of-the-art technology. There’s no doubt that the most successful businesses are those that provide staff with the kinds of workspace they need to smooth their working day.
