Need for flexible Workspaces!

Gone are the days when we entered a workspace that reeked of monotony. Nowadays, every professional office setup demands something different and innovative. Even the IT companies are quite bored of following the same old desktop setup with cubicles. Though there are a few who still prefer that kind of a ‘fixed’ design due to various reasons, the rest of the world is moving forward to what we know today as ‘flexible workspaces’. No! The spaces cannot be stretched; that’s not what it means. ‘Flexible workspaces’ means the office setup can easily be rearranged without any major construction changes. The article talks about how such dynamic ideas are transforming the way we build commercial spaces these days.

Flexible Workspaces 101

For the uninitiated, flexible workspaces are unlike any other traditional office setup. The flexible workspaces are designed to accommodate the dynamic nature of business these days. Whether you are scaling up or downsizing your business, flexible workspaces can quickly adapt to your changing needs, objectives and demands. It’s starkly different from flexible working.

Flexible working, on the other hand, means that you are free to work according to the set timelines or you can choose to work your way to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Flexible working is for the workers who do not have to stick to inconvenient working hours. When the employees get to choose their own working hours, they can make necessary arrangements for their other personal and important commitments such as doctor’s appointments, dropping children to school and so on. Most importantly, they get to avoid the rush-hour traffic.

 

Crucial aspects of a ‘flexible workspace’

Imagine you are a 5-year-old kid and you are being handed over a big box of Lego. What you do with it is completely up to your imagination. You visualize a construct in your mind and try to bring that idea to life. That’s exactly what you get to do with your ‘flexible workspace’. How you wish to use it is completely your prerogative. Here are a few important aspects of ‘flexible workspace’ that you need to focus on –

Shared Amenities: Exclusivity might be a privilege of space but when you have limited space, shared amenities play a major role. When these amenities are tethered to a single spot, you get a chance to use the rest of the space as per your needs.

Quiet Areas: It is a proven outcome of having a well-planned ‘flexible workspace’ where the ambient noise is reduced to a bare minimum. This allows the employees to focus on their work and these areas come in all shapes and sizes.

Open-plan Designs: A widespread phenomenon that was used a century ago, open-plan design helps remove unnecessary barriers/walls, quite literally. This allows for free-flowing collaboration between departments that were once secluded and alienated.

Adjustable Workstations: Traditional setup was such that it demanded people from one department to work in their respective stations. A flexible workspace shifts the power of choice to the employees wherein they get to choose where they want to work from. Also, this kind of setup makes room for natural light and ventilation to enter the workspace making it more acceptable.
