Importance of Having an Office Parking Space

Many incentives can work towards an individual employee’s satisfaction with their job and their career path. And while bonuses and raises are among the most appreciated, they are not the only way to help employees feel respected and appreciated at their jobs. One of the best options for helping employees feel positive about their company is providing dedicated parking spaces. It goes a long way in a few key ways. In this article, we will discuss a handful of benefits of having reserved spaces for your business. 

Reserved Employee Parking is Efficient 

If you own a business in a city or a downtown area, you understand parking is a commodity. Nothing can be more frustrating as a driver on your way to work than to find out there are no open spaces because people who don’t even work at your company have taken up the nearby spaces. This can lead to a few quick drawbacks. Finding parking can waste time, and paying for parking can waste your employee’s money. Having dedicated parking spots for your employees ensures they can get to work right after parking in the lot. 

Reserved Parking Spaces Show That You Care About Your Team

Employees tend to appreciate any signs of ownership with their jobs, from employee-only parking to their desks or offices that they can decorate and personalize as they see fit. Employee productivity and outlook are often shaped by how personally connected they feel to their workplace. An employee who arrives at work each morning not sure if there will even be a spot for them to park and then has to figure out which desk or office is open for them to work at today is going to feel less engaged with their company than an employee who knows that there will be a spot for them and that their desk is waiting for them. This approach to making the morning commute easier helps improve efficiency by creating a clear pathway from the commute to getting to work and improving employee satisfaction.

Customer Parking Spaces Are Also Very Important 

You should also consider reserving spots for your customers and your clients. Similar to your employees, you do not want to inconvenience people who are potentially doing business with you. If they have to hunt for parking, pay for parking, and take a long walk from a garage to your facility, you might start off on the wrong foot. A dedicated parking spot helps start your interaction from a better position.
