How to Create a Productive Work Environment & Build a Successful Business

When it comes to starting a business and building an office, the design choices that you make can have a profound impact on the productivity of your employees and the success of your company. It’s important to build a work environment that reflects your company’s overall mission and encourages your employees to immerse themselves in your company’s culture. Here are some steps to take when creating your office space:

1. Decide on an office layout. Once you’ve secured a location and built your ideal brand goal, it’s time to design an office that reflects your company values. First, decide on your floor plan. An open floor plan can be great for collaborative creativity, but might not work best for your employees. Evaluate your business goals and think about day-to-day tasks that your employees will need to perform.

2. Furnish and light the space. Proper lighting can dramatically influence productivity in the workplace, but bad lighting can lead to fatigue, eye-strain and headaches, hindering employees from performing at their best. Whenever possible, try to provide as much natural light as possible. As far as furniture choices, think comfortable. Remember, your employees will be sitting at their desks for at least 8 hours a day!

3. Give your office color and character. After you’ve purchased the necessary furniture and made the appropriate layout choices for your office, it’s time to breathe some life into those stark white walls. Here’s where Chief Graphix can help! Choose colors that inspire, like blue and yellow, and create a unique wall decor that’s compelling and motivating. We suggest custom wall wraps that display your business’s mission clearly for employees and customers to see.

At Chief Graphix, we believe that your office decor can truly impact your company’s success. From custom wall graphics and lobby signage, to custom designed nameplates, we can help you transform your office into an inspiring space for your employees to work in and your customers to feel confident in.

Choosing Event Signage for Your Next Conference

If you’re planning a large event it’s incredibly important that you have personalized event signage to help maintain the flow of traffic and “wow” your guests. After all, you never have a second chance to make a first impression! If you’re in the process of planning a conference, fundraiser or corporate event, here are a few questions that need to be on your radar when thinking about your event signage:

What kind of signs do you need? Think about the different sessions that are taking place at your event. Go through everything with a fine-toothed comb and make sure that all of your sign bases are covered. You never want your guests to feel lost or confused, so taking a walk through the venue might also be beneficial so you can see exactly where sign placement is needed. On the day of the event it helps to assign greeters near important signage to help direct your guests.

What is the best way to display your signs? Depending on the function of each sign, you may need to be flexible with placement. That means that the “set it and forget it” method will not work for every sign. For example, if your event has multiple spaces for opening remarks, you’ll want to direct your guests to the proper location with a sign in the lobby or at check-in. However, you will need to be able to change out the location when the capacity for the first space has been filled. Instead of having a pre-attached stand-up banner, try backing your signs with velcro and sticking them to tall stands, that way you can easily switch them out when needed.

How can your signs stand out? Often times conferences are held in hotels or other large venues, which means you may have to share lobbies and space with other concurrent events. Don’t let your guests be confused and overwhelmed by conflicting directionals. The best way to set your signs apart from the rest is by having them custom branded. In addition, take advantage of the opportunity to advertise with interactive signs by including QR codes, social media information and event specific hashtags.

At Chief Graphix, we know that signage and graphics can make or break your event, which is why we’re committed to providing the best solutions in custom branded sign-creation. If you’re ready to check “custom signage” of off your event planning to-do list, call 516-883-SIGN today, and let our sign professionals guide you through every step of the process.

The Necessity of Construction Site Signs

When it comes to construction sites, there are many different sign options and requirements to keep in mind. Sure, those tall fences or perimeter boards make a great canvas for business advertising, but they also serve as a platform for posting necessary safety precautions and information that is required by state and federal regulation. Here are a few of the reasons why adhering to sign posting regulations on a job site is so important to both your company and the people within the community that you’re providing construction services to:

Adhere or Cause Harm: If you fail to post signage informing the public about the presence of construction, you run the risk of causing injury to innocent bystanders. Posting informational signs to announce that construction is underway, as well as warning signs and prohibition signs, helps to deter people from wandering into a construction site. You should also make sure to post signage in and around job sites that can potentially produce hazardous waste, keeping health in mind.

Risk Taking the Blame: In the event that someone does wander onto your construction site, whether accidentally or on purpose, posting the proper signs will help to keep you in the clear from being held accountable for any injuries that they sustain. However, if you fail to post warning signs, you are legally responsible and may be charged with negligence. So, make sure all of your bases are covered and get those signs up! It will save others’ lives and save you the headache of dealing with legal fees.

Employee Safety: Not only are signs needed to alert the public of ongoing construction, but they are necessary for reminding employees to take safety precautions while on the job. Construction is a dangerous business so notifying your employees of any safety hazards is imperative. You must make sure to post signage in areas where hard hats, goggles and other safety gear is required, as well as signs indicating areas of high risk due to heavy machinery usage.

As you can see, construction signage is extremely important to any job site. At Chief Graphix, we can provide you with permit signs, safety signs, barrier banners and more. Whatever you need to get the job done safely, efficiently, and in adherence with regulated construction codes, we’ve got you covered.
