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.
Modern Office Furniture

Maybe not. Based on recent findings from the Journal of Environmental Psychology, higher levels of distress, irritation, fatigue and difficulty concentrating were reported by workers in open-plan offices rather than those who work in private offices. 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.

THREE OFFICE DESIGN TWISTS TO NURTURE A WORK-LIFE BALANCE
The elusive work-life balance. It’s been reported that a typical employee spends between 38-60 hours at the office. Now, with the exponential rise of connectivity, employees feel pressured to check in for work using their smartphone, tablet, or laptop on the go–during their lunch break, commute, and even at night after dinner or before bed.
This is counterproductive to an employee’s mental health and workload stamina because it forces engagement instead of fostering it.
Even though we can’t all have offices that literally disappear after 6 p.m. to discourage employees from working late, we can embrace work spaces that mimic some of the key comforts of home. These design twists help an employee feel relaxed and engaged on their own, while understanding they can take breaks to increase focus and productivity in projects.

Here are three ways to shift your modern office design to invite more balance:
Recreate the family hearth with your employee lounge or cafeteria
Even a company with hundreds of employees can create a cozier feel in their lounge or cafeteria. By using acoustic furniture pieces or lounge couches and club chairs, the staff will appreciate the little details that help them relax. Acoustic furniture helps deaden echoes in loud open spaces such as cafeterias and lounges, while creating coffee break nooks and private conversation areas over lunch. See full post here
