As we have all gradually returned to our commercial office buildings in different capacities, many of us have come to appreciate the value of outdoor spaces in our work environments. The pandemic showed us the benefits of flexible access to nature, whether it's for taking short breaks, hosting meetings, or simply finding moments of tranquility amidst a busy workday. As we navigate this transition, it's crucial for businesses to prioritize the creation of outdoor spaces that offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
We understand the importance of fostering a work environment that supports the well-being of employees. That's why we've begun to make it a priority to incorporate outdoor spaces into our own workplaces, providing our team members with opportunities to connect with each other while at work. This doesn’t have to be a one-size fits most situation. You can create an outdoor gathering or lounge space near the entry-point of your building, a break-area space just for employees, or a versatile meeting space for employees and clients to gather in small or large groups. First assess your needs, define your budget, and work with us to develop an action plan.
We believe that access to outdoor spaces shouldn't be limited to remote work. Employees should have the option to step outside and enjoy the fresh air, whether they're collaborating on a project, catching up with colleagues, meeting with clients, or simply taking a moment to recharge. By integrating outdoor areas into office design, we can help our employees have the flexibility they need to work better in any workplace.
One of the key elements of creating outdoor spaces is selecting the right furniture and accessories. For our specific outdoor employee space project, we chose to bring in Lorell. With their wide range of commercial outdoor furnishings, we were able to design an inviting and functional outdoor area that met the needs of our employees. Lorell offers everything from durable patio tables and chairs to stylish umbrellas and hidden waste bins, which is all we really needed for our specific outdoor space.
What sets Lorell apart is not just the quality of their products, but also their commitment to customer satisfaction. With quick ship options and a 1-5 year warranty, we know we can trust that our outdoor furniture will withstand the elements and provide years of enjoyment for our team. Additionally, our furniture installation team is well-versed in assembling Lorell products, ensuring that the installation process is seamless and hassle-free.
We've experienced firsthand the benefits of incorporating outdoor spaces into our office building. Our own outdoor patio has become a hub of activity, serving as a versatile space for work, meetings, and social gatherings. Despite its seemingly small footprint, our patio has had a significant impact on the flexibility and overall atmosphere of our workplace.
As we look to the future, we encourage other businesses to consider the value of outdoor spaces in their office designs. With the right furniture and thoughtful planning, even the smallest outdoor area can be transformed into a welcoming oasis for employees. We're committed to creating work environments that prioritize the well-being and productivity of our team members, and we have a feeling you are too. Join us in embracing the great outdoors and reimagining the way we work.
