Attracting young talent to your organization is powerful, especially if you are trying to shift toward a younger customer base. However, it isn’t always easy to attract recent college graduates when you have an antiquated office and old office furniture. Here are a few ways to design an office with millennials in mind. 

Office Design Tips to Attract Millennials

1. Maintain an Open-Concept Space

Gone are the days of dingy, enclosed cubicles and small, sad offices. Today’s modern worker wants to be in a bright, light, airy environment. Instead of creating individual office spaces or cubicles for your team, try to create an open-concept space that works well for collaboration and communication. When selecting office furniture, try to find minimalist pieces from acrylic or glass, since they won’t interrupt sightlines. 

2. Add Color & Texture

Make your office beautiful and interesting by adding colorful paintings, office furniture, rugs, and even woven knit blankets or throw pillows. Today’s employees value comfort and creativity over traditional professional norms, so don’t be afraid to mix up your design aesthetic. A few fun paintings and a colorful woven area rug could create the kind of bright, creative space millennials are looking for. 

3. Integrate Plenty of Technology 

If you want to attract young talent, appeal to their interests. Make sure your office has plenty of integrated technology, such as a lightning-fast fiber internet connection, gaming systems, cloud backup systems, and everything employees need to work from home. Consider issuing company laptops, phones, and tablets to make it easier for employees to take care of work regardless of where they are.
