As warmer weather approaches, it’s essential for businesses to adapt their working environments to maintain comfort, safety, and productivity. Preparing your workplace for summer not only supports employee wellbeing but also ensures outdoor areas remain functional and welcoming.

From investing in office cooling solutions to maintaining outdoor furniture and shared spaces, this guide outlines key areas to focus on — all supported by a range of summer workplace essentials.
