And with many businesses in a downsizing mindset, advantage in price shifted toward those in the market to become subtenants. That said, deciding to sublease office space is a process not to be taken lightly, as potential pitfalls await those who enter into unread or unvetted contracts. In fact, it isn’t always advantageous to sublease at all.]]> 2011-10-25T13:56:58+00:00 http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/we_get_it_right http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/we_get_it_right#When:15:39:40Z by: Kristi Bonner, Area Manager]]> 2011-10-20T15:39:40+00:00 http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/the_new_workstyle http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/the_new_workstyle#When:13:45:29Z The folks over at Gist recently came out with an infographic called "The New Workstyle." Check out their post and more info on this on the Gist Blog. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Have you noticed a shift to these things? What do you see five or ten years down the line?]]> 2011-10-12T13:45:29+00:00 http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/high_achievement_office_environment http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/high_achievement_office_environment#When:19:25:58Z Ever work around a true dynamo? If you have, chances are you and your co-workers have reaped benefits from that dynamic person’s energy and vigor. As the effects can be either easily correlated or more discreet and subtle, some of the positive results may even go unnoticed by the other recipients within the office.]]> 2011-10-07T19:25:58+00:00 http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/show_me_the_people http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/show_me_the_people#When:17:22:30Z by: James C.

We have been waiting a month in anticipation of great chili to be served.  We heard lots of stories of old family recipes and all were excited to participate.  The air was filled with the delicious smells of chili from early in the morning until late afternoon and everyone kept sneaking into the room to take a peek at the chili!  The participants were Irene Muncy LPPC, Rob Leon, Attorney at Law, Bridgid with Aflac, Miranda with Status Solutions, Meredith with Lumen Legal, Cheryl with Mid America Health, Jen with Team Builder Search and Laura, Shannon and Michelle.  They set up their chili in the conference room and over 50 clients showed up to taste each one and vote for the best tasting.  Each person was able to vote for their top 2 favorites.  The winner was Rob Leon and runner up was Bridgid with Aflac. Both took home Starbucks gift cards and all participants were awarded free clerical time.]]> 2011-10-03T14:06:11+00:00 http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/sensible_office_design_pays_off http://officesuitesplus.com/blog/sensible_office_design_pays_off#When:21:22:29Z Anyone who thinks that office design doesn’t matter probably has never suffered through a daily work atmosphere that includes a center office cubicle with concrete walls, no windows, fluorescent lighting and water-stained ceiling tiles gradually deteriorating overhead.
