Choosing Office Premises
4. Out-of-town Premises
Many new office developments have been built away from towns.
4.1 The advantages can be substantial.
- There is usually plentiful parking.Some employees place a high premium on being able to drive to work.
- Business parks generally have modern, well-equipped office space.
- The environment will be cleaner, more attractive and usually safer.
4.2 The disadvantages are less obvious.
- Estate maintenance and management charges in a business park can be high.
- Some business parks are located in run-down former industrial areas.Your employees and customers may find this off-putting.
- Employees without cars may find getting to work difficult.
- There may be few amenities nearby.With fewer places to socialise locally, employees may not spend much time together outside working hours.
