Analyze the traffic flow of your office, placing individuals who meet with clients frequently in an easily accessible location. |
|
Place workers in near proximity who frequently collaborate on projects |
|
Review office machinery (copier, fax, printers, etc.) and place equipment near the employees who use it most. |
|
When using systems furniture, lay out your plan carefully making sure to include any columns, bump-outs or irregularities in the space. |
|
Always measure carefully and include the sizes of office furniture and system panels in your calculations to avoid narrow and cramped walkways and work spaces. |

Plan the cabling and wiring for your telecommunications and electronic equipment. Make sure each work space is adequately equipped and no cables will be running down or across the aisles. |
|
Be sure to plan for adequate storage and equipment areas to avoid clutter and safety hazards. |
|
Discuss ergonomic needs with your employees -- computer keyboards, monitor placement, adjustable chairs and equipment, telephone headsets, lighting, etc. |
