Four ways the increasingly mobile workforce is transforming office design

As more and more office employees start working from home full-time or only come into work on certain days of the week, it no longer makes sense for employers to keep the office in the old fashion.1. So, be ready to say goodbye to the days of cubicles (隔间) and fixed desk stations and welcome the following changes in modern offices.

Including more resting spaces and leisure areas

While some people tend to work more productively in traditional desk-and-chair environment, others feel better when they’re working from a sofa or bean-bag chair. 2. These could range from joined tables for those who want to work in a more relaxed manner and socialize with co-workers, to sound-proof spaces for those who prefer to work alone or in silence.

3.

Traditional board rooms and conference rooms with tables big enough to host 20 people also fall victim to the remote workforce movement. In the new mobile climate, many employees are starting to come into the physical office merely for face-to-face meetings with co-workers or to bring in clients for presentations. This means that employees are specifically coming into the office for access to these meeting rooms, so these rooms should be sized accordingly.

Using high-tech methods that narrow the gap between office and home

4. To do this, some offices are using VoIP phones, which make phone calls through the internet rather than regular landlines, to help employees around the world appear as though they’re calling from the office.

Creating smaller carbon footprint

There are huge benefits, both financially and environmentally, to offices employing more mote workers. Fewer people in the office equal less needed space. 5. For employees, the ability to work remotely means an erased commute, which in turn will reduce air pollution and help create a smaller carbon footprint.

A. Building smaller conference rooms.

B. Providing more places for face-to-face communication.

C. In this way, employees can find the spot that best suits them on a given day.

D. Instead, offices are transforming in order to better serve employees floating in and out.

E. Huge amount of money can be saved for employers by using less energy and water, lowering their utility bills.

F. That’s why offices are creating a new mixture of furniture zones that offer both relaxing and traditional seating options.

G. With more employees working from home, it’s critical to have the proper technology to connect people together easily.
