How to decide which is the best option for your new office? There are many things to consider if you want to choose the best option. Nowadays it is often suggested that the open plan office is the solution for all kinds of companies.
Firstly, not all sort of work could be well done in an open plan office. If your company is responsible for high-specialised work, for instance as engineering or designing, you need concentration, which is difficult at this type of space. Another negative effect could be the lack of company privacy. Each employee has their own space in the open office, therefore that space is totally opened and anyone will see what another employee is working on.
However, we should consider the benefits of the open plan office in relation to the workflow. The basic information can be easily shared between the employees and they can have the option to solve a daily problem. In addition, technical resources are optimized. Not every worker needs to have their own printer or photocopier and that will help to decrease the company’s costs, and the savings could be invested in research or in worker’s productivity incomes.
To sum up, I believe that designing an office space taking into consideration the kind of work to do, the necessities of the company and the people that must work in it is the key to make the good decision.
