We’ve met many clients that want to replicate a communal space that they’ve seen working successfully in another organisation. One size does not fit allĬommunal spaces come in all different forms and formats. In an age where we are all too eager to send an email rather than pick up the phone, or meet face-to-face, creating an environment that fosters communication and helps to develop healthy working relationships, can only be a positive move. Providing people with readily available, communal space for impromptu meetings allows for a level of flexibility that helps to foster creativity and productivity.Ī communal space also provides individuals with an opportunity to interact with people from other teams and departments that they might not normally encounter. Technology enables us to work from virtually anywhere, so gone are the days of sitting at the same desk all day, with the occasional pre-scheduled foray into a meeting room. This more flexible attitude has migrated into the workplace. Details of social plans can be left to the last minute, safe in the knowledge that friends will have their mobiles with them. These days we can afford to be far more flexible and impromptu.
Something generations Y and Z will not be able to relate to. Before we all became so attached to our mobile phones, our social lives were organised well in advance and diary dates were strictly adhered to. Technology has advanced at an incredible pace, and it has dramatically changed the way we live. Modern offices must facilitate flexible working These forward-thinking organisations recognise that by providing an environment that nurtures their employees’ well-being and happiness, will increase employee engagement, creativity and productivity, which, in turn boosts the company’s bottom line.
