Producing a Positive Office Environment with Feng Shui

If you want to make the most of your work, a feng shui office space might be the way to go. A few minor adjustments may be all you need to get a raise, nab the corner office or even start your own business. It’s all a matter of creating an office space that is both supportive and inspiring. The more thought you put into your surroundings, the easier it will be to set and meet your goals.

Do have a clear view of the entrance from your work station. This will lend a sense of security that enables you to concentrate. A clear view of the door will also help you spot career opportunities that you’d otherwise miss. If you can’t move your desk, position a mirror to reflect the entrance door.

Don’t face a wall while you work. Working this way could result in a dead-end job. If you can’t reposition yourself, hang a picture that affords a depth view at eye level. A scene of a winding road or river that features near and far objects will help you move forward toward your career objectives.

Do define your personal area. Placing a small mat or area rug at the entrance of your work space will inhibit people from walking in unannounced. This is an especially good cure if you work in a cubicle. If you have your own office, hang a pleasant-sounding bell from the door to alert you to visitors.

Don’t let items pile up on the floor. This will keep you stuck in the past, making it hard to meet deadlines or finish ongoing projects. Store materials that you regularly use in easily accessible file cabinets, bins and boxes. Keep a portfolio of work samples in a place where it won’t impede your daily work. Finally, sort through your papers once a month and discard unnecessary materials.

Do put symbols of future goals above your eye level. If you want a promotion, put a tall plant on top of a bookcase or file cabinet. To reach a sales goal, write your target number in red marker on a green piece of paper, and post it over the door. Looking for a new job? Post something that symbolizes this desire directly across from your work station, just above your line of vision.

Don’t let a bad work chair undermine your performance. If your company won’t pay for a better seat, it’s worth paying out of pocket for one. Choose a chair that is high enough to support your upper back. The height of your chair should allow you to place your hands on the desk at a 90-degree angle while your feet rest flat on the floor. If your work requires creativity, choose a chair that allows you to recline.

Do build trust by integrating organic materials into your work space. Wicker baskets, wooden paper trays, crystal paperweights, ceramic mugs and potted plants will encourage people to let down their guard with you. That’s because representations of nature are extremely reassuring in a business environment.

Don’t become distanced from your dreams. If your job doesn’t bear any relation to the work you really want to do, incorporate water into your office. This can include an indoor fountain, a noise machine that replicates the sound of running water, or a picture of a moving body of water. Water features keep you tuned into your innermost desires, encouraging you to take steps toward your ultimate career goals.

Do draw attention to your achievements. Frame any diplomas, certificate or awards and place them in the far left corner of your office. If you’re not able to display such items in your work station, install a high-watt light bulb in your desk lamp. Better yet, get a floor lamp that casts light up toward the ceiling. This will increase your visibility in the workplace. Lighting a red candle at your desk each day can help, too.

Don’t let items pile up on your desk. Clear your desk at the end of each work day, leaving out only the materials you use on a daily basis. (Your phone, computer, lamp, writing implements, etc.) You’ll feel much less overwhelmed when you sit at a clear desk every morning. Clear out your voice mail and e-mail boxes at the end of each day, too. This will save valuable time and energy, and help prioritize your work.

Tips to Improve Office Space Efficiency

More than two and a half hours a day are lost through technological and individual inefficiencies, adding up to around 80 days a year per employee. These are the dramatic findings of research from BACS Payment Schemes, which interviewed over a thousand employees of small firms and found that PC problems, printer predicaments, and colleague conflict are taking up massive proportions of the average working day in the current office space environment.

Technology tops the list of time-wasting as slow and crashing computers combine with infuriating printer jams can cost employees up to 48 minutes every day. Dealings with colleagues also feature heavily, wasting 34 minutes a day while needless phone calls (26 minutes), meetings (23 minutes), and emails (16 minutes) complete the top five.

BACS offers some tips to make the office space more efficient.

Ask employees to communicate with you about problems with other staff; for example, detailing extra work they take on due to a colleague’s absence or inefficiency.
Collect data on absence and use it to find out who covers the extra workload and ensure they feel supported and appreciated for doing this.
An hour’s training on a software package or in basic computer trouble-shooting can save much more time later.
Although it may appear contrary, encouraging staff to take regular, five-minute breaks can increase productivity as staring at a computer screen for hours on end can be detrimental. Business owners would do well to follow this advice themselves too.

Treasure Valley Office Space Checklist

So, you’re just starting a business in the Treasure Valley, and you’re finding yourself overwhelmed with the task of locating an office that will accommodate your needs without breaking your budget. Choosing office space can be complicated, because you’re counting on the amount of business you do to offset the costs of leasing the space and staffing it with employees. No matter which type of space you choose for your business, there are some considerations that you should always keep in mind on your quest to lease office space.

When you set out to find office space such as the Blackeagle Center in Boise or the Silverstone Corporate Plaza in Meridian, Idaho, it is important that you make a list of the most important aspects of the space before you talk to a leasing agent or even make a phone call in response to one classified advertisement. Essential to this list is that you keep in the back of your mind exactly what you need, not what you want to function. These needs include the actual amount of space you need to function, not feel like a corporate executive; the communications access that you need to stay in touch with your clients on a regular basis, like internet and commercial telephone services, and last, but not least, the realistic amount of money you have to spend on an office.

When you are looking to lease an office, the amount of actual square footage you need depends greatly on the type of business you are hoping to run. If you’re going to be running a clothing store or design studio, you will need more space than someone who is developing and running a web site or a consultancy.

If you have considered all of the office space that is available for lease around your geographical location and have determined that nothing is very well suited to your needs or to your budget, you might want to consider a executive suite office instead. These are typically single suites that are available within a professional office building. The benefits of executive office space include professional receptionist services, access to conference rooms, internet and phone services, and, in most cases, spaces that are already furnished with chairs, desks, and filing cabinets.

Please check out The Sundance Company website to view property photos, search for office space or learn more about Sundance’s start-to-finish capabilities. If you prefer to talk to someone in person about your commercial real estate needs, then just give us a call at our Boise office, (208) 322-7300.

How To Find The Right Office Space in The Treasure Valley

With a little extra time and effort, you can be assured of finding a great office location from The Sundance Company in the Treasure Valley that will serve your business well for years to come. With numerous office space locations in Boise or Meridian, Idaho, consider these tips to help you find the perfect spot.

Consider What You Need: You would think this would go without saying, but it is amazing how many business owners leap into an office contract after being mesmerized by the fancy foyer or the many amenities. Write down exactly what you need and take that list with you when you tour available spaces. If you have 10 employees, don’t rent space for 100. Unless you have concrete plans to expand to a larger or different operation in the future, rent only for your current needs. And don’t let yourself be talked into something you really don’t need. Nothing good can come of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole when it comes to office space.

Make a Budget: Don’t over-extend yourself with a huge rental payment when you are considering the office space that is right for your business. Office space for rent can make or break your budget. Find an adequate space that is affordable and that fits well within your budget. You don’t want to over-extend yourself, and you can always upgrade later. And don’t forget to read the fine print. What costs and utilities are you expected to cover? Are there any hidden fees in the contract?

Plan for the Future: While you don’t want to agree to an office space rental agreement based upon hazy future plans, you do want to be prepared for changes you might need to make later on down the road as your business grows and expenses. Does your rental agreement allow you to remodel the office space or expand into empty, adjacent space? What if you need to terminate the agreement or want to upgrade to a larger office? Can that be done under your agreement or would hefty fees be involved to re-negotiate the lease? Work out those details now as you plan for the future of your business, and save headaches later for a great experience as you search for office space for rent.

Use these tips to find the right property for your business in the Treasure Valley. Then rest secure in the knowledge that you have made a smart business decision that will serve you well for years to come.
