THE MODERN OFFICE Long gone are the rows of private offices that were the norm in many companies to be replaced by open- plan layouts that aim to reduce costs and improve employee relations. Offices are evolving, it seems, and the ranks of symmetrical desks, partitions and swivel chairs are undergoing a sea-change. Areas of informal seating, coffee bars and telephone nooks allow employees to step away from their desks to carry out a task in a specifically tailored environment, while also opening up the opportunity for chance encounters between members of staff. The concept of cellular working is becoming less required, and the whole nature of mobility, of moving freely around the office talking and swapping ideas, is where and when a great deal of decision-making takes place. And this new kind ofworkspace definitely encourages collective thought. Trang 3/8 - M6 dd thi 134 42
A survey of workplaces recently found that more than 8 million people in the UK worked in open-plan offices, but their rigid layouts forced almost 700lo of them to sit at the same desk with the same coworkers each day. The suwey - which covered the whole country and all industries - found that these workers scored lowest in terms of innovation, while employees who were offered a broader variety and choice of workplaces scored signifi cantly higher. To this end, architects and designers are looking not only at the hospitality and residential sectors for inspiration, but also to the technology industry where experience design has played an important role in office design for years. One of the most significant borrowings from hotel design to office design is thinking about the total experience of the visitor from beginning to end, from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. Workplaces with such collaborative, ilrformal and social spaces are the ones where employees report the highest levels of pride, enjoyment and productivity. And it's not just tech companies and start-ups: banks, retailers and manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon too. MISSING PARAGRAPHS A Once the seeds were sown by the tech companies, other companies wanted to compete with them, and soon realised that they had to come up with more innovative ways to engage employees and respond to what people wanted in a workplace. B These results confirmed to employers the benefits of a more stimulating office environment. In fact, employees across all sectors and generations now look for a more stimulating 'experience' at the office- With the average person spending the majoriry of their waking hours in an office, it makes sense to open up offices in this way. There should be more ofan overlap between work, socialising and home environments, many believe, and the new talk is of the 'experience economy' and 'experience design'; indeed, more and rnore people are adopting it. C The rather dull design features ofthe open plan office are being replaced in favour ofplush upholstery, curated bookcases and Ieafy porplants. More space is being given over to socialising to encourage workers to move away from their desks. These features, borrowed from the hospitality industry, are seen as valuable resources in offices. D Greater pooling of ideas is just one of the many positive outcomes of people working in offrces like these. This is what many believe office working is meant to be; it's about exploring and assisting the intellectual capital of employees to the fullest extent. It encourages and makes the best use of what each employee has to offer. E But the frivolous innovations brought in to keep their employees happy - water-slides, themed rooms, and so on - were not wanted by the more traditional organisations, even though they were keen to change. They sought to introduce more sophisticated stimuli. Trang 4/8 - Ma da thi 134 44 45 Another development is that over the past few years, many co-working spaces have opened up, targeting start-up companies and freelancers looking for affordable offices. The variety of users of these shared office spaces has forced designers to create diverse settings within one building. 46
