Challenges to Find More Office Space
Common scenarios:
“We want to launch a new project and hire some experts for it, but we don’t have enough room in our current office. We also want some of those people to work in other divisions. We can’t make any changes to our current office so we need short-term temporary space for the project team”
“Our Headquarters are located outside of Tokyo but most of our clients are in the city. Our back-of-house team can stay at Headquarters, but we want some of our sales people in Tokyo. We need something flexible to suit the team size and in a central location”.
“We are growing fast and employees are increasing, but our office is becoming too crowded now. Ideally, we want to move to a bigger office but it is not so easy to find and we can’t move out so quickly because we are still in the contract with the current office. We need a temporary office to deal with the new people and keep our existing people happy”.
“Our headquarters are overseas but we would like to establish our business in Japan as well. We are planning to hire a local expert in Tokyo for this plan but we want to have a flexible office contract to manage the potential risks of starting in a new city”.
If you fall into any of these scenarios, you’ll realize that finding an office that meets all your requirements may not be easy. Chances are your satellite office may not be as nice or comfortable as your HQ office. Keeping employees happy in the new office is important to help them settle in quickly and feel valued. You’ll also need to pay close attention to costs to make sure your budget isn’t exceeded.
