Second Hand Office Workstations
Office workstations, also called cubicles or systems furniture, may not have the best reputation with employees, but they do solve the problem of dividing up large spaces into individual work areas. This is eliminates the need to build permanent walls in order to reduce noise and create more cohesion in the workplace.
The good thing about the flexibility of workstations available today is that you can mix and match different layouts to suit everyone’s needs and personal tastes. Buying cubicles is a big process that requires some thought and planning ahead of time. Read More ▼
Floor plan
The first thing you need to take a look at is the floor space for your office. Take all the measurements of the office and try to sketch out the floor plan. You will need to know just how much space you have for cubicles and if there are any areas that won’t be able to accommodate the shape of a cubicle. If you’re not comfortable with this first step, you might want to consider enlisting a designer to help measure and plan out the space.
Employees’ needs
Your employees’ needs are incredibly important. The workstation for a telemarketer will look different than for a small group of engineers. Ask your employees what is most important to them and what they spend most of their time doing. Do they work on the computer, telephone or on paper the most? How important is it to converse with other employees? Will they need to have meetings in their cubicles? All this needs to be factored in with the height, size and overall layout.
Office needs
Besides considering what your employees and colleagues need to work efficiently, you will also need to consider other office supplies and storage. You will need space for printers, copiers, filing cabinets and other shared resources. These objects need to be easily accessible by all, but not so close that they end up being a distraction.
When you’ve come up with a rough plan of the features, size and layout of the cubicles for your office, you’ll then have to decide on a budget. The best way to get systems furniture for a decent price is to look online. Companies that have gone bust or are moving into bigger spaces will often unload cubicles for much less than if you decided to buy new. Make sure you take your time with the buying process, as you will have the cubicles for years to come.
