Office layout

Office layout deals with the design and set up of an office. It takes into account all the
accessories and equipment needed in an office. Employees are more productive when the design
and layout of an office coincide with their working needs.

Significance

The layout of an office should be constructed so that employees are able to function efficiently
and effectively. Their desks and computers should be designed and installed so that they can sit
comfortably and not incur any injuries because of bad posture. This facet deals with ergonomics.

Considerations

Each desk should be situated so that employees can effectively communicate with a supervisor
and with each other. Effective communication, within a team, helps with morale and the team
dynamics.

Effects

The layout of an office should ensure that everyone has easy access to equipment, such as
copiers, fax and printers. Any electrical cords should be out of the aisles to prevent employees
from falling and tripping.

Benefits

Sometimes an office layout will provide employees with cubicles, which help provide privacy
and they muffle or stifle any noise an employee might make. This helps when people are talking
on the phone.

Types

Many things go into planning an office layout, including the lighting, desks, work stations,
furniture and the amount of space needed, conference rooms and storage space for supplies. An
office layout has to take into consideration expansion and growth needs.
