Top Tips For Hiring Out Your Meeting Space

This article is brought to you by Clean My Office Space.

Do you have a niggly feeling that your meeting space is underutilised? Well, you’re not alone. 

With the growing trend of hybrid working, it’s still important to have a space for your team to gather and connect when they do visit the office - but did you know you could be monetising on that same space on work from home days or during off peak times? 

We've teamed up with CMOS - New Zealand owned office cleaning specialists, to bring you five top tips for hiring out your meeting space.

Consider Modular Layouts 

If you have a larger space in your office, think if a modular layout could be applied to help meet the requirements of a range of meeting types. Including features such as sliding partition walls can transform a space in an instant. Featuring tables that can form a U-shaped setting or individual pods can accommodate everything from group brainstorming sessions to training workshops.

Make Health and Safety a Priority 

Provide reassurance to those hiring your space by outlining your Covid-19 measures and policies, provide wipes for desk space and hand sanitizer in and around the meeting space. When it comes to catering, consider switching from a buffet-style option to something individual, like bento boxes, or grab-n-go lunches. 

It may also help to disclose how often the space is cleaned. To make things super simple, engage with a professional cleaning company such as CMOS and they’ll reliably clean your space with world-class service and keep any stress off your shoulders!

Spotlight Your Space's Point of Difference  

Whether those looking for meeting space are visiting from out of town, need a large space for an annual meeting or are simply looking for a change of scenery, you want to make sure your space stands out from the rest. 

Spotlight your space’s key features, whether that is a prime location close to public transport, a breathtaking view to enjoy, cutting-edge tech or show-stopping catering that you can organise for them.

Keep Up With Design & Tech Trends 

The days of the fishbowl are over. Do your research on current trends for meeting and conference space design. For example, adding plants to your meeting space has a proven positive effect on a room’s environment. They can add beauty, decrease eye strain and help to absorb sound.

Speaking of sound, ensure the acoustics are leveraged for your meeting space. Spaces without acoustic planning can be loud and distracting. Acoustic panels are now designed to be more subtle than ever, or can even be a design statement of their own.

Consider Offering A Virtual Tour Of Your Space 

For those with larger spaces that can be hired out for conferences and seminars, consider organising a 3D tour of your space. This allows people to gather a strong visualisation of the space, better than photos alone could provide. People will be able to see your space from different angles and make informed decisions when planning their conference, meeting or corporate event.
