International. One of the strongest trends currently in terms of office design is the implementation of plans with open spaces in which all workers share the same area instead of being separated by walls or cubicles.
Although the above is preferred by many companies as a way to encourage collaborative work, it is also true that this design brings with it some challenges and parameters that it is important to take into account.
In that sense, the recommendations made by Audery Thomas in the business journal can be key to ensuring a harmonious and productive work under this type of office design.
According to Thomas, it is essential to adapt behaviors and habits to create a pleasant and professional work environment. He also offered the following recommendations:
- Do not interrupt colleagues who work nearby without first consulting them if they can attend
- Do not consume food with strong odors in the workplace
- Do not make calls at very high volumes
- Walk to the partner with whom it is required to talk, not because you are close it is appropriate to shout from one side to the other.
- Adapt the voice volume to the space that is shared
- Do not invade the space of the companions
