Concentration, collaboration and productivity – how an open plan affects your work is truly just subject to your disposition.

Despite the success of open office designs, fueled by the prosperity of tech giants like Google and Amazon, many employees from many organizations report a decline in productivity due to the constant distractions and interventions enabled by an open design.

Additionally, employees with private offices report feeling more satisfied with their job performances than open-plan office employees, and some studies show that open-plan offices actually have a negative impact on collaboration because of the lack of privacy.

How many of your work from home? We know – a lot. It so happens that after a while of working from that outdated old nook, it starts to loom on you that something needs to be changed. Homely settings rarely make for the most productive, and to be increasingly efficient, it is imperative that you make the best use of the space at home.

Here is an article from Apartment Therapy that outlines how an outdated home office was turned into a modern (and more productive) workspace.

When you ask your employees how they want the workspace to be, it’s a mixed bag – some want the quiet, undisturbed nook where they can focus on their projects without uninvited interventions from the rest of the workforce while some prefer the bustle of an open office where they can openly communicate and collaborate with different teams and departments working on the project.

Between collaboration and the quiet, if there is an ideal arrangement, we are determined to find it.

7 Factors of Great Office Design

Smart companies understand that workspaces are a business tool. An office environment reflects and reinforces a business’s core values, through the placement of different teams and functions and design elements that reflect culture, brand, and values.
