Must-Have Checklist for Hosting Office Guests and Clients

Whether you know it or not, your office design speaks volumes for your company, and when you host a high-level guest or client, they associate the design and atmosphere of the office with the work you produce. But how do you create the perfect space for hosting office guests?

If you’re planning to host a single executive meeting or a multi-day session, follow the steps on this checklist to ensure your attendees walk away impressed.

5 Must-Haves for Hosting Office Guests:

A Warm Reception

Perhaps the single most important area of your office is the reception area because it’s the place where first impressions are made. How you greet your high-level guests or clients can elevate or deflate their expectations. A warm reception area starts with a modern reception desk.

Boardroom Design

Boardrooms are the inner sanctums of most offices, where teams come together to make important decisions. Comfort and style are critical components to your conference or boardroom design, and they tell your guests how much your company values teamwork.

Avoid the Confusion

If your office feels like a maze, your guests may end up feeling more trapped than welcome. Try to plan an agenda that utilizes what open spaces your office has available, and you’re office will feel more inviting. The layout and design of your office can greatly transform the experience.

Collaborative Workspaces for Hosting Office Guests

Breaking out from the norm, collaborative spaces can provide a more relaxing, intimate environment than most traditional office spaces. StrongProject offers a number of unique designs that will help your high-level clients open up and feel more comfortable.

Break Room Layout

If you’re planning meals in the break room, make sure your layout is memorable. An uncomfortable lunch can ruin all the work you’ve done impressing your guest or client with your office space. The breakroom is the center of conversation, connection, and comfort.

 

Follow this checklist before you host your next guest or client and you’ll start leaving them with strong, lasting impressions.
