It’s Monday and many of us are returning back to work after having had a wonderful holiday  break. Today we are getting into our cars, hoping on the bikes, taking the bus or the tube to bring us to work for another year.  It is possibly going to be quite hard to be back the first week. Hard to get back into the swing of things and back into routine. In order to get back into work, I often clean my desk and change some habits which I had established last year.  So what about redecorating your office and change some aspects of the business culture?

Your computer desk is probably overloaded from last years work. Why don’t you sort all the documents into ‘done’ and ‘to do’. Get a new modern computer desk, one which fits in your corner or one which let’s the room appear bigger. Glass desks are very space efficient solution for a small home office. To assist your storage and oragnisation of your office, make sure you have enough storage places available. A multi drawer cabinet might be useful to store these important documents and not have them lying on your desk for everyone to have a look at.

Working in a bigger office, people sometimes like to socialise, which supports a great company culture. Make sure you have a little area in the office, dedicated for chatting and eating. All you need are a couple of chairs and a chrome coffee table for people to be motivated to chat. If you really want to impress your team this year, provide a great cuisinart coffee machine. These machines produce excellent coffees and espressos. Your team is going to be thankful that they do not have to drink instant coffee anymore. The great Nobo Notice board will help your team to communicate.

Another trend this year is the cordless fax machine. In order to avoid the cable mess a cordless printer can help. Brother has a great solution for the home office. It is designed to to save you time by making home office tasks easier, quicker and more convenient.

With these easy solutions you can establish an organised and clean office with a great company culture.

Did you know…?

Telecommuting is on the increase, especially with raising traffic congestion and the impact of the recession. People who once tested the new concept discover many advantages with disadvantages and they would not go back to the traditional full time office work. HR departments have to become very creative to accommodate the workforce of the new century.
