Flexible Working Space is Important

by Janvi Ahuja Content Developer,SEO Consultant,
An office space is where you'd spend most of your time at. Eight to nine hours a day at the same desk and on the same chair can be taxing. For most employers, the need for a flexible working space with ergonomically designed furniture to support your posture all day long is imperative. Moreover, a flexible workspace reduces the costs as you are able to utilise your resources to optimal.

It is the task of shifting from planning to implementation that can take a toll. It is tricky to understand how to achieve this and gain maximum benefits as well while getting everyone to agree to it. Firstly, have a clear understanding of how the workspace is being utilised at present. If you walk up to any manager or a staff, they would invariably overestimate the actual space which is utilised at most typical office environments.

To quote an instance, leading realty developers of the NCR have incorporated pre-requisite requirements to their architectural setup in all office space in Noida to offer a flexible working environment for working professionals and businessmen.

A similar concept has been used for flats in Noida to ensure that each corner of the plot is utilised well without compromising on their spaciousness. Each apartment features a balcony that opens out to a green view. This green belt has been developed and reserved to ensure flow of fresh air and also lend a soothing feel to all occupants.

You can also do so by conducting audits at many commercial setups. Most of these audits, at the onset, have the staff stating that the desk usage capacity for people in the administration line is a hundred percent compared to managers who utilise about seventy percent of their workspace area.

As per study, desk occupation measured was an average forty to fifty percent which is why the need to rethink on your office space layout keeping in mind storage needs such that it is flexible and utilised to the maximum is important. Choosing an expert space designer can help create an office that makes use of every inch of the space effectively. The filing cabinets need to be tackled well to ensure that they do not over occupy the working areas. High dependency on paperwork is evident in any office, but if they are installed correctly, extra space can be made available for better work use.

Re-organisation of space also requires the involvement of those who will be utilising it. If the space is not designed well, it could trigger the tendency to be non-accommodating. The key factor is to incorporate the working style of teams and their personal or professional aspirations as well. Any workspace with cost-cutting as their main agenda will eventually call for unwanted responses leading to an unfavourable working environment.
