People’s workplace needs are changing, and it’s the employer’s duty to ensure that their workspace can accommodate those needs. Innovations in design can make you rethink the traditional office space and plan for something new and exciting! The days of drab and dreary workspaces are ending; it’s time to recognize the value of individuals in the workplace and design an office with collaboration, creativity, and possibility in mind. Whether you’re looking to build or renovate your current space, these are some office space design trends to consider.
- Flexible workspaces: As job roles change, so do space requirements for those roles. Office design is evolving to accommodate flexible environments and needs to allow people to connect rapidly and share ideas. Flexible workspaces offer different kinds of spaces that can accommodate casual to formal meetings, quiet spaces, and open areas for collaboration.
- Technology upgrades: In order to attract and retain new talent, businesses need to provide up-to-date and advanced technology tools. These include high-speed internet, data sharing, connectivity tools, and even video conferencing abilities.
- Modernized breakrooms: When was the last time you really looked at your breakroom? Chances are it’s due for an upgrade. Old and outdated furniture and rooms can feel dreary, and even negatively affect employee morale. An updated, beautiful, and comfortable space where employees can go to relax will help them decompress and feel refreshed when they return to work.
- Green spaces: Did you know that being in nature is good for you and your employees? If you didn’t know, now you do, and it’s time to bring the outdoors in. Nature-based walls made from bamboo or wood, rooftop gardens, and vertical gardens are great ways to greenify a space. Why stop there, though? Green energy is trending, and there’s no better time to get on board. Invest in renewable energy sources, air purification, locally sourced food and drink for your space, and more. Your employees will appreciate it!
You’re in your workspace almost every day. Why not make it one you enjoy being in?
