As a company grows, management needs to carefully watch and evaluate whether the office space canaccommodate staff comfortably. If your staff is not comfortable, they will not be productive.

隨著公司的成長，領導層們要仔細地觀察和評估辦公的空間是否能讓員工們舒服地工作。如果你的員工決得不舒服，他們不會有很高的生產力。

When looking for a new office, here are some simple things to keep in mind:

當尋找一處新的辦公地址時，要注意以下這些簡單的事情：

Is it large enough for your current staff? Work out how much space each staff member needs and then add around 50 percent for extra people and things like meeting rooms etc.

它能容納現有的員工嗎？計算出每一個員工所需的空間，然后加上百分之五十左右，來預備額外人員和會議室之類所需。

Does the new office have adequate infrastructure? Are there enough lifts? Will the telephone system be suitable? Can you install high speed Internet access services?

新辦公室有適當的系統架構嗎？有足夠的電梯嗎？電話系統適當嗎？你可以安裝高速互聯網接入服務嗎？

Is the office near public transport, either the subway or a bus station?

新辦公室離公共交通工具，地鐵或者公共汽車站近嗎？

Is there a good range of restaurants for all staff - not just managers on high salaries? What about banks and office supply companies?

周圍有適合于所有員工的各種檔次的餐館嗎？－不能只考慮高薪的經理們。

Will your clients be able to find the building easily? Does the building have parking for guests?

你的客戶們會很容易找到辦公大樓嗎？辦公大樓能給來訪者提供停車位嗎？

Finally, the decision about whether to buy or rent has to be made. Buying means that you have a permanent base and a tangible asset but you could have to borrow heavily to fund it. Leasing is moreflexible financially but leaves you open to being asked to leave the building by the owner.

最后，一定要做出是購買還是租用的決定。購買意味著你會有一個永久的基地和切實的資產，但是為了這項投資，你可能要投入很多錢。租賃融資更靈活，但是你可能隨時有可能被大樓所有者要求搬離。
