How Much Office Space Does Your Team Need?
One of the most common mistakes businesses make when renting an office is choosing a space based only on the number of employees.
Team size is important, but it isn’t the only factor.
Start With Your Team
Create a list of employees and determine how each person works.
For example:
- Full-time employees
- Hybrid employees
- Managers
- Executives
- Sales teams
- Customer service teams
A hybrid workforce may require fewer permanent desks than a fully office-based team.
Add Private Spaces
Consider whether you need:
- Executive offices
- Meeting rooms
- Phone booths
- Interview rooms
- Training rooms
Consider Shared Areas
Don’t forget:
- Reception
- Kitchen
- Break areas
- Storage
- Corridors
- Waiting areas
Plan for Growth
If you expect your team to grow from 20 to 30 employees, consider whether the property can accommodate that growth.
Final Advice
Don’t choose an office based on square meters alone.
Think about how your team actually works.
A well-planned smaller office can often be more effective than a large space with poor layout and unused areas.
