So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Office Design Facilitating A Smooth Workflow Can Raise Productivity Of Your Company

By Carol Woods

The interior designing of an office has become very significant as companies face increasing pressure to enhance their productivity. By making use of appropriate office design that gives special focus on workflow, it is possible to ensure that the functioning of the firm happens without much interruption, thereby guaranteeing greater output.

A good office design takes into account a number of components including floor plan, furniture and IT equipment to create a friendly work environment for the employees as well as the consumers. Every aspect has a bearing on the workflow and the work delivery and consequently on the productivity of the company.

Attaining an efficient workflow implies ensuring easy and smooth movement of men and materials in the office. This implies that a great deal of focus should be on the layout of the office in order to make sure that movement from one part to another needs least amount of energy and time. If the office comprises of two or more levels, then having a lift is a prudent decision by the employer. Further, the corridors should be sufficiently broad and should have carpets in order to prevent accidental falls.

Communication between staff is highly important for workflow in a firm and therefore there should be as less divisions as possible within the staff area. This can be achieved by using cubicles rather than separate rooms as far as possible. When rooms are to be made then glass partitions should be used so that it appears that there are no divisions.

Cooperation plays a very important role in the functioning of an office. To give opportunities to staff for sharing ideas and keeping each other updated, you must have conference rooms. These rooms must have a sufficient seating capacity and should be equipped with all the necessary technologies that are used in meetings today like computers, projectors and telephones.

Along with allocation and delivery of work, a proper workflow also takes care of the implementation of work. Ergonomics have a crucial role to play in ensuring that the employees are efficient by taking care of their physical well-being. You must thus take care that the design of the workstations has been approved by an ergonomics expert. The most important component in this respect is the chair, whose height as well as other features must be perfect.

If the office has a good workflow then it will make a big difference to the performance of your firm and will ensure the welfare of the staff. Hence, it is wise to think about all the above factors when starting office design.
