The Covid pandemic saw a rise in hybrid work, with staff working from home, either partially or full-time. This change allowed businesses to reduce their expensive office space.
While some businesses encourage remote workers to return to the office, others are contemplating introducing more flexible working patterns. Business storage can be an important part of downsizing office space as staff transition to hybrid working.
Storage is useful for both the individual worker and the business. Working on a couch with a laptop on the knee is possible, but being more efficient and productive requires a dedicated office space in the home with a desk and an ergonomic office chair. To free up space, however, could mean moving furniture out. If the worker doesn’t want to get rid of the furniture, they may choose to send it to a storage unit. If the home office is in a bedroom, more room can be made by storing seasonal clothes in a storage unit so that fewer wardrobes and drawers are needed.
Businesses that are downsizing their office space can store equipment, furniture and paper documents that need to be kept, but are not used regularly, in storage units. This will enable the office to be a clean, clutter-free space.
Relocating to a smaller office space is just one of many reasons why storage services are useful. If you or your business needs storage in Southport or Liverpool, call Merseyside Movers & Storers. We’ll pick up your items and securely store them for as long as you want.
