An office is where decisions are made, money comes in and a team works together. MahaVastu looks at the workplace with those three functions in mind, and a few basic checks can tell you a great deal about how your premises are set up.
The owner's seat
The person who takes the key decisions is generally best seated in a zone associated with stability, often the South-West part of the office, and not directly in line with the entrance. A solid wall behind the chair is preferred to a window or a walkway.
Most office corrections are a matter of moving furniture, not moving walls.
Which way to face
Facing North or East while working is traditionally considered favourable for growth and new opportunities. If the layout does not allow it, a consultant can suggest balancing measures rather than a full rearrangement.
The entrance and reception
The entrance sets up the experience of every client who walks in. Keep it well lit, clean, and free of clutter, broken items or stacked boxes. The same applies to the reception and waiting area.
Cash, accounts and records
MahaVastu associates the North with money and opportunities. Where cash, accounts or important financial records are kept is one of the areas a consultation examines closely.
Team seating
Staff seating is read against the zones that support cooperation and steady output. Small changes to who sits where can make a noticeable difference to how a team works together.
A quick self-check
- Does the owner sit with a solid wall behind them?
- Is the owner's desk out of the direct line of the entrance?
- Is the entrance clean, lit and uncluttered?
- Do you know which zone your cash and records sit in?
In short
None of this requires rebuilding. Most corrections involve moving furniture, clearing specific zones or adjusting colours and objects. A floor plan of the premises with directions marked is the place to begin.
