Latin America. The management of workspaces is an important factor for many companies, since the design of the place affects both the choice and arrangement of furniture and the distribution of workers within offices, contributes to improving employee comfort, facilitating collaboration between departments, developing collective intelligence and finally boosting their performance, which could generate a 25% improvement in productivity ratios.
Today companies have broadened their horizons by incorporating business initiatives and strategic consultancies that are responsible for the integration, planning and execution of actions related to real estate assets under a single management, such is the case of Facility Management services.
With respect to furniture, the more comfortable and ergonomic, it provides employees with better health and superior work performance. In addition, it must respect the corporate colors, since they are the image that a company projects to its current and potential customers, so it must be especially careful. For example, blue and green colors are generators of new ideas, while red is associated with attention to detail.
As for the furniture, it is recommended to flee from the rectilinear forms and prioritize the rounded ones. The round tables reflect greater collaboration and remove possible imaginary barriers that hinder joint work. Also, lighting is vital, spaces should always have enough light, it is recommended to have large windows that allow a large amount of natural light to pass through. On artificial light, it is important that no light bulb is covered by the furniture so that dark spots or light imbalances do not occur.
On the other hand, the design of the workplace has to adapt to the business culture, the horizontal organization formula offers better results. Less visibility of the hierarchy in workspaces provides a closer relationship between employees, facilitating the flow of ideas and allowing for a closer relationship between them.
