THE FOUR WORK MODES

Fundamental to understanding workspace design is understanding the four work modes, workers need to thrive in the workspace.

  1. FOCUS
  2. LEARNING
  3. COLLABORATION
  4. SOCIAL

 

PREPARING FOR AN OFFICE RELOCATION

Closely changing workspace design trends and the impact of the hybrid work strategy have led to an increase in office relocations and space decommissioning. In most cases, little to no existing furniture will be moved to the new office, yet it must be removed from the old office to surrender the lease to the landlord. So the success of an office move today depends on managing the decommissioning of the workspace and the removal of unused assets.

THE FUTURE OF WORKSPACE

 
Currently, businesses are confronted with big decisions on how to plan for the future workspace. Office space has always been one of the largest expenses, second only to the investment made in people. Remote work has changed the rules of working with many companies increasing productivity while the office sits empty. The challenge now is how to plan for the office while embracing the changes around people, processes, and culture.

DESIGNING FOR THE HYBRID WORKSPACE

 

Many of our clients have contemplated what their next steps are for designing their future workspace. Most are challenged to build an environment of workstations and offices that support collaboration and social connection. Understanding your employees and supporting their desires will help you to determine which of several design solutions will accomplish the goals of your team.
