At Just Sheds, we hire out portable site offices, lunchrooms, and ablutions to worksites across NZ’s North Island. Available in almost any size, your building comes with a stainless-steel base frame, study doors, and insulated walls and ceilings.

We’ve got a bloody good product, but there’s more to a workplace than the building itself. You also have to create a comfortable, well-equipped, enjoyable environment that will keep your staff happy so they can work productively. Here’s our expert tips on how to boost their morale.

Offer comfortable seating

Just because your worksite is a temporary doesn’t mean it can’t be comfortable. Make sure your portable site office is equipped with good quality, adjustable desk chairs. Whoever is working in there will appreciate the comfort and proper back support.

Our lunchrooms come with built-in tables and bench seats, but you can enhance comfort by adding a small couch, a couple of chairs, or some cushions to the room. Employees will better enjoy their smoko and lunch breaks and return to work feeling refreshed.

Kitchen amenities

Fit out your lunchroom with whatever your staff needs to fuel their bodies and recharge their minds. A kettle, coffee machine, microwave, fridge. Essential equipment will make a huge difference to your employees’ day and keep them on site, rather than driving off in search of a hot drink. Bonus points for bringing in snacks and quality coffee, too!

Entertainment, games, and competitions

Whether it’s a speaker for music, a deck of cards, or fun competitions, providing entertainment will help create a relaxed environment while your staff are on their breaks. The good mood and comradery will carry on throughout the workday, leading to improved teamwork, problem solving, and efficiency.

Hygiene

Working productively in close quarters relies on good hygiene and cleanliness. Unlike a permanent office with regular cleaners, sometimes the day-to-day cleaning of a portable worksite can get neglected.

Make sure you have good systems and schedules in place to ensure your office, break room, and ablutions are being cleaned regularly, and keep cleaning supplies easily available and up to date.

Productive worksites start with quality buildings

Transforming your portable building hire into a positive workplace starts with good quality sheds. For more advice on setting up your building, or to get one sent to your worksite in Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, or anywhere north of Gisborne and Taranaki, get in touch with Just Sheds today.
