Based on this blog, you will make the best choice for your new office space and the required square meters to avoid being cramped in office space.
Legal regulations
The legal regulations for office space state that employees must have sufficient space to perform their tasks without risk. This is a broad concept and therefore certainly positive. You will not easily violate the law when it comes to square meters of office space. Still, you are left with the question 'how many square meters of office space do I need for my company?'. Fortunately, SKEPP is here to help you with this!
Choose the right number of square meters
The ergonomic requirements for the area of workplaces in administrative spaces and offices (NEN 1824:2010 en) state that one workplace consists of at least 4 square meters. On top of that, there are also square meters for the furnishing of the workspace. The layout looks like this: 1 square meter for a monitor, 1 square meter for reading and writing, and 1 square meter for a filing cabinet. When you add all this together, you arrive at a workplace of 7 square meters.
The tricky part is that 7 square meters is more than enough for one person. But if you calculate this for office space for 100 people, then 700 square meters is really too little in practice.
Calculate the amount of square meters of office space with the SKEPP calculator
Of course, every organization works differently, and it also depends on which industry you are in. You ultimately make the choice yourself. Do you want room to move or a cozy workspace? SKEPP has a new calculator that allows you to easily indicate your wishes and needs regarding office space. The calculator shows you exactly how many square meters you need.
For larger companies, there are often additional spaces to consider when arranging office space. Think of a meeting room, presentation area, or lounge corner. Calculating this space makes choosing the right amount of square meters of office space more complicated. However, this is no problem for the SKEPP calculator. You fill in the extra spaces you need, and the calculator simply includes them in the calculations. You can find the calculator when you 'visit' an office on the website and scroll to the available office spaces.
