Since we spend so much of our lives in the office, if a candidate doesn’t see themselves enjoying your office environment, they will likely go elsewhere. At Titus Contracting, we are the trusted commercial contractor for the Plymouth area and are here to provide you with a few design ideas to attract the generation of workers; millennials.
Millennials will soon outnumber Baby Boomers in the workforce. So, if you haven’t already, it is time to build a workplace that’s more appealing to this younger generation. By accommodating their needs, you can attract the candidates you want, ensuring you get top talent for your business. Here are a few design trends millennials look for in a workplace:
Communal
Millennials are ambitious and tech-savvy. They have a different working style than previous generations, so it’s important to hire a commercial contractor who can put together a design that understands this. For instance, their ease with mobile technology enables many of them to work anytime, anywhere and they can be more productive sitting in a communal space than sitting at a desk. Your blueprints should include an open floor plan with communal spaces to accommodate the employees that may prefer to work somewhere other than their desk.
Work-Life Balance
Your commercial contractor should set aside a small space in your renovation plans for a quiet, relaxing area or a place to unwind. A quiet space to de-stress, game room, cafe or gym can help encourage employees to relax and can also encourage creativity. Giving your employees a place to de-stress could also result in fewer sick days, and increase morale.
Flexibility
With so many talented people entering the workforce it is important to accommodate more people in less space Commercial contractors such as ours should design a strategy that accommodates techniques such as desk sharing.
Beige-Free Zone
Your commercial contractor should also incorporate color into their design. Bright and bold colors on the walls can bring energy to the office and to your employees. If you don’t want to paint an entire room a bright color, consider accent walls. Have just one wall painted blue and the other walls painted a more neutral shade. This is a huge trend in offices right now and can be easily incorporated into your office remodeling plans.
