From a recent Gensler survey, more than 16,000 office workers said they hack their own workspace to make up for poor design.
A good office layout must balance four work modes: focus, collaboration, learning and socialising.
Your office space should accommodate:
▪️ Quiet rooms, acoustic panels and low-traffic desk zones.
▪️ Breakout areas with close teams seated together.
▪️ Lounges/kitchen to help your employees rest and recharge.
▪️ Multipurpose rooms for training, presentations and meetings.
Pick a layout that works best for the people using it. You can refine it over time!
