Four Types Of Signs That Every Workplace Needs

5/26/2025

Employee expectations for their workplace have evolved over the last few years. Has your office changed along with them?  

Your office should ideally provide your staff with an environment that fosters collaboration, provides a focused atmosphere and motivates their best work. Studies show that employees work 20 percent better when feeling motivated – but that only 23 percent of employees worldwide actually feel strongly motivated (1). Ensuring that your office is one that fosters collaboration, provides a focused atmosphere and motivates their best work can help keep you ahead of your competition! 

Your creative partners at Signs Now Marquette have a few recommendations for signage updates that you can make at even the smallest level. Even if you’re making use of a space on the smaller side, you can leverage the power of good signs and graphics to make a visit to the office one worth looking forward to.  

Here’s a few ways you can make use of every space around your office: 

1. Brand your ADA signs: Signage that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act doesn’t have to be sterile. You can enhance the overall employee experience – and your branding – by including your logo and colors. Make sure you work with professionals like the ones at Signs Now to ensure that you remain compliant, even with customization! 
2. Go wall to wall: Plain walls are plain boring! Instead, leverage the power of vinyl wall graphics to enhance your space. Use them to display art murals to upgrade an employee break area, or to showcase the products or services you provide your audience. 
3. Elevate glass surfaces: Did you know that you don’t need to have actual etched glass for that classy, frosted look? Etched-glass vinyl can be applied to any glass surface and is a great way to embellish conference rooms and executive offices.  It’s also a lot less pricey than actual sandblasted glass windows! 
4. Lettering tells your story: Vinyl lettering is a great way to upgrade your office space. Use it to display inspirational or motivational messages for your staff, or to showcase your branding and tagline for visitors and guests. You can also use it as part of your wayfinding system to ensure everyone gets where they need to go with ease! 

Is your office ready to see more faces return to work? If not, it may be time for some refreshed signs and graphics. Be sure to reach out to your Signs Now team to discuss your office’s needs!
