Building Better Workplaces: How Social Spaces Transformed UKP’s Office Experience

UKP Worldwide – Aylesbury

In a dynamic business environment, the significance of a well-designed workspace cannot be overstated. Recent changes in the operational landscape prompted UKP, a growing enterprise, to seek a new location with a larger warehouse capacity. They recognized the need to revamp their office space to enhance employee satisfaction and productivity. Sagal, renowned for its expertise in workplace interior solutions, stepped in to facilitate this transition seamlessly.

Collaboration with UKP

UKP’s decision to relocate to a space with a bigger warehouse signaled growth and expansion. However, they acknowledged that the upgrade shouldn’t be limited to the warehouse alone; the office environment needed an overhaul to align with the company’s evolving ethos and recent re-brand. Sagal collaborated closely with UKP to understand their requirements and preferences.

Furniture Selection Process

The heart of the project lay in choosing furniture that not only met functional needs but also contributed to the overall aesthetics and ambiance of the workspace. Sit/stand desks emerged as a popular choice, promoting ergonomic comfort while accommodating varying work preferences. Additionally, matching ergonomic chairs were selected to ensure optimal support and comfort during long working hours.

The ground floor space presented a unique challenge and opportunity. UKP envisioned a multifunctional area that fostered collaboration as well as an overflow working space during peak periods, and also provides additional informal meeting zones. Sagal’s expertise in space utilization and furniture selection played a pivotal role in transforming this vision into reality, as well as a full on day in the showroom viewing, testing products and getting fully involved in the colour and fabrics selections together.

Installation and Feedback

Once the furniture selections were finalized, Sagal oversaw the installation process, ensuring minimal disruption to UKP’s operations. Post-installation, feedback poured in from UKP’s employees, with Michael expressing delight at the transformative impact of the revamped workspace. He noted increased interaction among team members, citing instances of impromptu meetings and relaxed gatherings in the newly created breakout zones.

Conclusion

The successful collaboration between UKP and Sagal underscores the importance of creating functional yet inviting workspaces. By prioritizing employee comfort and fostering a sense of community, organizations can unleash untapped potential and drive innovation. As UKP continues its journey of growth and expansion, the revamped office space stands as a testament to their commitment to employee well-being and organizational excellence.
