Strategies for Reducing Office expense
(1) Relocate for Savings: Consider moving from a high rent building to a more economical location. Many “value-priced” Class B buildings have been upgraded and now provide new lobbies, elevators, technology infrastructure as well as contemporary office spaces.
(2) Space Reduction and Redesign: Businesses can reduce the size of their offices by modifying the design and the area occupied by each employee. Use our office space calculator to estimate your size requirement.
(3) Flex Work, Business Centers and Telecommuting: Flexible work schedules may allow two or more employees to utilize a specific work area. Some companies use hourly or daily rentals at off-site business centers for part-time staff and conferences. Where practical utilize telecommuting.
