Creating a cloakroom can be extremely beneficial for any establishment, no matter whether that is an educational establishment or a self-contained business. Offering employees, students or visitors somewhere to change or store belongings can have many positive effects for all different kinds of reasons. In education, these benefits are obvious, but in other areas it might not be quite so easy to see them from the outset.
Offering employees a place to change and store belongings will give them far more ability to utilise their lunch breaks for the things they really want to do. It can also ensure that they feel comfortable bringing very specific items to work, making their workday easier and more rewarding. On top of this, both visitors or employees will be able to do far more before or afterwards without worrying about having to go elsewhere to get the clothes or items they might need. This will save their time, leave them feeling far less stressed, and in turn up productivity and happiness in the workplace.
So, how do you go about creating a cloakroom? Well, the first thing you will need to do is set aside the space. It may seem as though cloakroom equipment will take up a huge amount of room, but for the majority of businesses very few people will need to change and store items at any one time. Therefore, cloakrooms can actually utilise far less space than you might think.
The trick is to find the right storage cabinets for you. The majority of businesses will simply need to get lockers that allow people to store a few items of clothing and auxiliary accoutrements and, as such, many cloakrooms can actually utilise very small storage cabinets. For those who do not wish to offer specific changing space within their cloakroom equipment, lockers may even simply be able to be run along the walls of existing spaces without limiting working space at all.
