How a Serviced Office can benefit culture in a SMB
So what’s on this “checklist” of start up culture? And how can serviced offices help you check the box for each element?
1) Getting the right people for the job – it’s absolutely essential you attract the most talented people for the job, and that you keep them. Serviced offices will mean that you can literally focus 100% on choosing the right business team you need. All maintenance, reception, security and other considerations are taken care of by the serviced office provider!
2) Creating a good connection between team members – organising group activities, days out and team-building exercises is made all the easier when you don’t have to worry about the day-to-day running of the office. With all the bases covered at all times, you’re free to foster a really cordial relationship between each member of your team.
3) Giving employees the opportunity to develop – with the myriad of options available in serviced offices, you needn’t have your employees there all day every day chained to their workstations. Thanks to hot desks, virtual office services and flexible meeting rooms, employees can have the freedom they so desire to get their work done.
4) Create an enjoyable and affable atmosphere in which to work – serviced offices like those at Carrwood Park and Brookfield Court provide a light, spacious, free and open space in which to work, all surrounded by stunning grounds and gardens. They are the kind of places people look forward to going to work at.
5) Attractive perks – comfy workspace, flexible times and holidays, free snacks/meals, subsidized gym membership; just some of the perks you could offer which are made easier by the huge range of amenities available in and around serviced office parks.
So whichever way you look at it, it makes sense to choose serviced offices when running a start up company. The road to success for a start up is fret with risk and difficulties, and it’s a well-known fact that only flexibility and adaptability can shepherd the company out of the darkness and into the light! Serviced offices have these qualities in spades – take the space you need for now, and expand your usage as you grow. You can’t ask for a better deal.
