Advantages of Office Cubicles

Whether you are starting a new business, opening a new office location, or updating your layout and design, it’s important to consider the advantages of cubicles. The right cubicles can make all the difference for your staff and your company’s success.

Four Questions to Ask Yourself

How do you know which cubicles will work for your company when you really aren’t sure which style, size, design, layout, etc. is best? We recommend asking yourself these questions and then let the answers help you make a final decision:

Which do you value more – creativity or tradition? When you decide which of these matters most to you, it will be easier to narrow down your preferences for material, color, and layout. Cubicles come in so many different designs; you will have many options to provide your employees with the creativity they desire, if that is what it is most important to your company.

Which is more important – privacy or collaboration? Cubicles can either limit or promote privacy based on the fact that they come in a range of different heights. If privacy is a top priority for you, then cubicles are a great option. If you are leaning more toward collaboration, however, you may want to think about investing in benching systems. You can actually put both to use within your company.

What kind of space do I need for my employees? Consider the positions in your company. Some of the people you employ might not need more than a phone and a computer, whereas others might need filing cabinets and drawers. Knowing the needs of your employees and the daily tasks they need to perform will help you choose the cubicles that are right for each.

What is your employee turnover rate? If it’s high, you need to be honest with yourself. When you have employees that stick around for years, it’s usually a good idea to offer them a space that can be personalized. However, if a large portion of your workforce changes often, having larger spaces or areas for personalization are probably not as important in your choice of cubicles.

We understand that all of your staff members may not be enthusiastic about the cubicles you provide for them, but there are many ways these semi-private office spaces can be made to feel pleasant and comfortable.
