The Importance of Internal Signage

Any workplace should have clear signage that is easy to understand. This not only creates an enjoyable working environment for your employees, but also ensures that you are following safety guidelines and regulations. 

At Brave Design, we use the latest technology and equipment to deliver effective internal signs for many New Zealand businesses. Our team can assess your workplace and recommend the best internal signs that will contribute to a safer working environment. Below are a some advantages of using effective internal signage in your workplace: 

Safety Protocols 

From emergency exit signs to clear safety protocols, internal signage in the workplace is key to keeping employees and visitors safe. The last thing you want to be dealing with is someone getting seriously injured if it could’ve been easily prevented with visible and helpful signage. What to do during an emergency, or how to handle equipment properly are examples of scenarios that require clearly displayed signs with simple language and visuals. 

Positive Workplace Environment 

There’s nothing worse than struggling to find your way around a building, especially if there are many floors to get through. Utilising internal signs is important to help employees and customers navigate their way around the building, to avoid confusion and frustration. This will ensure a positive experience when employees come to work or when customers visit your business. 

Clear Communication 

Starting with where visitors can locate the reception, to employees being kept informed about important announcements or changes, internal signage should be strategically placed around the workplace to enhance communication. This will also avoid any confusion and ensure that everyone is kept on the same page. 

Types of Indoor Signage 

No matter what type of internal signage you are looking for, our team has got you covered! From point of sale, 3D reception signage, wayfinding signage, backlit, neon signs and more, we can help transform your workplace. 

Directional Signs

Strategically place these signs around your workplace to direct employees and visitors through the space. This will ensure they are able to easily navigate and find their way around the building. 

Digital Signs

Digital displays or screens are effective signs in the workplace to communicate information, announcements or any important updates. This will allow employees to stay up to date with relevant information and messages. 

Wayfinding Signs

These signs are a bit different compared to directional signs, because they are perfect to use in larger buildings with various floors and departments. They might include floor plans that are visually easy to understand so that employees or visitors can navigate their way through the building. 

Reception Signs 

Clear and helpful signs that direct employees and visitors to the reception area. These are important internal signs to place around the workplace and at the entrance of a building, not only for information purposes, but also for safety in case of any emergencies that need to be reported. 

Compliance Signs 

In terms of safety and compliance, these signs are helpful for communicating where emergency exits are located, any safety procedures that need to be followed, or regulations such as ‘No Smoking’ signs where applicable.
