Hybrid Work Stations
As more and more companies shift toward a hybrid or remote model, there is an increasing need for office layouts catering to workers who split their time between home and the office. Instead of the traditional cubicle layout, companies are creating collaborative workspaces designed for specific activities. Some of these new hybrid workstations might include:
- Virtual meeting rooms
- Quiet spaces for focused work
- Collaborative spaces that promote connection and offer a place for teamwork and brainstorming
- Flexible workstations for those who split their time between home and the office
A hybrid workspace aims to meet the unique needs of a new, diverse population of on-site and remote workers.
Biophilic Design
You often hear people say they get to work before the sun rises and leave after it sets. This leaves very little time to experience the benefits of being outdoors. Research shows that exposure to nature can improve your mood, reduce stress, and increase productivity. Because of this, biophilic design aims to introduce natural elements into corporate spaces. Some of these natural elements can include:
- Natural lighting
- Indoor plants and living walls
- Water features
- Outdoor views
- Green roofs and courtyards
- Natural materials
Creating an office layout that incorporates nature into the workspace will positively impact your business productivity and output, as well as the mental well-being of your employees.
Technology-Focused Workspaces
As technology rapidly advances, we become more reliant on it to complete our daily tasks. Because of this, it is essential to create an office space that focuses on how technology can make our work lives more efficient and productive. Circling back to the need for a hybrid workspace, technology is key in creating a seamless transition between the office and home. Some ways you can incorporate technology into your office layout can include:
- Video conferencing systems that promote collaboration between hybrid workers
- Voice-assisted technology like Siri and Alexa
- Smart systems that control temperature and lighting
- Charging stations
Technology-driven design will not only create a more efficient and streamlined work environment but also create opportunities for innovation and the production of high-quality work.
Health and Wellness Layouts
Employees who have a balance between work and their mental and physical health are shown to be more productive and happier in their work environment. Corporate spaces are starting to shift their focus to providing opportunities for health and wellness activities. Some key wellness features found in corporate spaces include:
- Designated fitness and yoga areas
- Quiet rooms for meditation and relaxation
- Healthy snack options
- Ergonomic seating options
Creating company policies and initiatives specifically designed to promote the health and wellness of your employees is also a vital step in building an office environment that cares about the work-life balance of its employees.
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Spaces
As we move toward a greener, more sustainable future, businesses are looking for ways to make their office space more eco-friendly. Your office layout should be designed with sustainability in mind. Some ways that you can make your office space more environmentally friendly include:
- Energy-efficient and motion-detected lighting
- Updated HVAC system
- The use of natural lighting
- Green roofs and courtyards
- Recycling programs
- EV charging stations
These energy-efficient initiatives can help reduce operational costs while also creating a positive image that resonates with many people’s dedication to protecting the environment.
