When it comes to office installation and planning services, it’s often tempting to make all workspaces the same. After all, a simple grid is the most efficient layout, right?
While it might allow you to squeeze as many workers as mathematically possible into a given space, the one-size-fits-all layout might not be the most effective option.
Not everybody thrives in the same environment. Some prefer background noise to keep focused, others prefer silence. Some like to be surrounded by high walls and feel exposed or distracted if they can see their coworkers, others prefer to be able to see their coworkers out of their periphery and feel lonely and isolated if surrounded by dividers.
Having a uniform, one-size-fits-all office layout might cater to some types, but there’s a high likelihood that it will harm the morale and productivity of others.
People thrive in different environments. Laying out an office with a variety of workspaces and allowing your employees to choose what works best for them can greatly increase the likelihood that your workers will eventually end up in the environment that is most efficient for them.
Not every job is suited to any workspace. Some positions or projects might require greater collaboration, while others might necessitate a distraction-free workspace. Having a variety of specialized workspaces, such as isolated ‘focus areas’ or open-concept ‘collaborative areas’, can greatly improve your workers’ capacity to effectively tackle a variety of different projects and tasks. For more on these specialized workspaces, see our article on ‘Breakout Areas‘
It’s inevitable that your workforce is going to be comprised of both those who thrive in isolation and can’t focus through even the slightest distractions, as well as those who thrive in social environments and go stir-crazy in isolation.
Again, the ‘Breakout Area‘ is an excellent way to provide some extra flexibility to employees who work on a variety of projects.
