Here are a few tips for turning your office relocation into a green move. Think Green When Purchasing Packing and Office Supplies Relocation often means the need for restocking supplies. Since you will be updating your address for supply deliveries anyway, you may want to use your relocation as an opportunity to order supplies that are composed of recycled or compostable materials.

Go green with your move as well by using recycled boxes and compostable or low-plastic packing supplies. Think Green When Purchasing and Installing Equipment You can turn your relocation into a green re-design by rethinking the way you use your office equipment.

“CORT polled nearly 700 attendees at IFMA’s 2009 World Workplace and found that 70 percent of companies supported employees working remotely”, according to the most recent white paper featured in our Furniture News Center. Our study finds that there are several financial benefits of granting employees work-environment flexibility. Reduced emissions, higher productivity rates, employee work satisfaction, and even a more secure asset management strategy through office furniture rental can all be gleaned from having a regulated telecommuting policy in place for your business. According to the case study,”Furniture rental as an asset management strategy also can increase the benefits of a mobile workforce in the office, as day-to-day furnishing needs may fluctuate when remote employees or guests need a workspace in the office.” Before selecting an office furniture rental package for your business as part of your asset management strategy, there are a few things you should consider: Functionality Choose an office furniture rental package that mirrors your current office workspace.

Are you relocating your business, starting up a new one, or looking to hire and add new employees? If so, a comfortable, well-placed office is a must. At CORT, we truly understand a comfortable, pleasing working environment can result in improved employee performance and morale. The right office furniture rental solutions can indirectly lead to better meetings and customer interactions. We have focused on home-staging in our furniture blog, and those same tips may be applied to an office of any size. Well-placed furniture, even in the office, facilitates traffic flow and limits obstruction. A minimalist approach to furniture placement also helps reduce clutter. Managers, human resource personnel and business owners alike are typically concerned about furniture placement and communication between employees.

Employees positioned with their backs to doors or entryways to cubicles may feel vulnerable. This can result in employees losing focus or needing to change their positioning to communicate with fellow employees. Additionally, comfort may be of some concern to employees. While it may seem like a small issue, employee comfort may lead to better workplace morale. If finding …
