How to choose the perfect office space

Given the evolving nature of the modern workspace, the 'perfect office' varies from business to business.

When choosing a new office space, consider what you, your team and your business need in order to succeed. This could be a traditional office layout, a zone designed for collaborative work or a personal private conference room. 

Here are four steps to follow when choosing a workspace for your business:

•  Prioritise location

A shorter commute means a happier and healthier work environment. An office space that is situated in a central location or is easily accessible, encourages employees to come in more often.

Take into consideration office spaces that are near shops, restaurants and bars. Such as this stunning 16-desk office space, available now at Avenue HQ East Parade.

• Consider comfort and spaciousness

If you want your team to spend more time in the office, you have to make the office a place your team wants to be.
