NW Office Interiors delivers inspired solutions by trading and bartering information. By communicating
compulsively and aggressively adopting advanced technology.
By focusing on holistic views and using our
skills to see the possible and the forbearance to bring the possible to reality and by inciting the enthusiasm
of the team.

The nature of work is changing rapidly, and the workplace must adapt to keep pace. Technology allows
knowledge workers to work anywhere at any time, improving their productivity while enhancing mobility both
within and outside the office. In the office, employees can be freed from a static, dedicated space, thanks to technologies such as Voice over IP, wireless phones, and wireless computer networks. This allows them to seamlessly move from workstations to team rooms to private offices to café settings — wherever their work
takes them within the office. In addition, these technologies allow employees to be productive when outside
of the office setting as well, including at locations such as client sites, home, the local coffee shop, while
traveling, etc.

Changes in the nature of work allow office environments to be managed as “on-demand” resources, with rooms
and workstations allocated by reservation or on a first-come, first-served basis. The on-demand approach is
often part of
Workplace Strategy (WS) solutions.

 
 



Although technology enables these environments,
workplace strategy should be defined more broadly as a process of leveraging traditional office environments to enable more innovative and flexible workplace practices, settings, and locations for work to take place. The process must
take technology-driven changes into account, but other considerations — sustainability,
aesthetic appeal, and adaptability — are also integral to the process.

For corporate real estate managers, the direct benefits of
WS include reducing per-employee occupancy costs and enhancing space flexibility to react to sudden swings in headcount. Some companies may be able to save money by reducing their overall space usage and shedding unnecessary space. In other cases, WS improves space utilization and provides options for increasing employee density in the future without acquiring additional space.

Even more significant than the direct real estate benefits are the potential benefits to the overall company, including increased productivity, greater opportunities for team collaboration, and an enhanced ability to attract and retain talented employees.

 



More than two thirds of corporate real estate (CRE) managers surveyed said their companies are concerned about an impending shortage of knowledge workers. A non-traditional office environment may appeal to younger workers accustomed to cell phones, text messaging, and working on laptops in crowded coffee shops. The freedom to work remotely also appeals to older professionals who can reply to e-mails from their kids’ soccer games.

Because at NW Office Interiors, we know your successful project is about more than furniture; it's about the people who execute the project on-time and on-budget and who can make the process fun and interesting. That's why we hire only the best and invest in their development, growth, well-being and health. Our people make the difference!

Let us show you the difference between "being an order-taker" and helping you 'build' an environment to sustain leading-edge concepts which meet the requirements of today's office.

Our focus is on relationships and on service, because it is our belief that anyone can sell furniture... not all can service the customer like we can.

We offer an integrated team approach that assures the client that their project will be completed successfully.

 



 



Despite the benefits of WS, the introduction of change may initially be unsettling to both employees and managers. Even at companies where the value of WS is recognized, selling the concept and progressing to its implementation can pose challenges.

Most obstacles can be overcome with thorough planning and expert execution. Workplace Strategy, let's talk about it today.
