There are many benefits to having more office space, we’ve detailed the 5 top things you could do with the extra office space by partnering with a records management company like Archive-Vault.
Room to grow
If you’ve got stacks of archive boxes taking up valuable space in your office, be it at one end or in their own dedicated room, putting them into secure storage is the answer. A recent study indicated that on average an employee is actually doing the work of around 1.5 employees, by putting your documents into secure storage you can help reduce this load. By reclaiming your square-footage you can create new desk space and take on more staff. More staff means less stress which means higher productivity! Plus your documents are held in a super secure facility, it’s a win win.
Speaking of happy staff…
Archive-Vault offer a scan on demand service so your staff can spend less time looking for that super important document and more time doing the thing they’re best at. With our fast digital retrieval service you get round the clock access to your stored documents without the need to send staff to find something, just submit the request via our portal and we do the rest.
First impressions count
The first thing most people are taught when preparing for the world of work is “make a good first impression”, remember that reclaimed square footage we mentioned? Letting us store your boxes means your office will look and feel tidier and more open, giving you the opportunity to create a dedicated reception area. Instead of being greeted by the sight of towers of archive boxes, guests will be greeted by a friendly and welcoming face, and hopefully a hot cup of tea or coffee. Nothing is more daunting than walking into an office where a sea of blank faces looks up at you from behind their desks, make a good first impression!
Get those creative juices flowing
Many studies have shown that getting creative has a seriously positive impact on people’s well-being so why not use the extra space to give your employees a dedicated break-out area? They can get creative or relax during down-time improving overall staff wellbeing. If pool tables aren’t your thing how about a place for them to have a really great brain-storming session about how to progress that project? A dedicated space can help staff think differently and come up with fantastic ideas.
Rent it out
Recent research states that around 15% of Britain’s workforce is self-employed, many of whom want dedicated office space. Why not offer hot-desking facilities to help a fellow entrepreneur along? They’re a great revenue stream and you’re giving someone else the help they need to succeed. If you’re in the lucky position to have freed up an entire floor by putting your documents in storage, you could even be giving a small business room to grow by taking on their first employees in their first office.
