Office desksSelecting office desks is often a cost & space planning driven solution with little regard for the distinct fuctional work typologies to be undertaken within the organisation. The one desk fits all approach is common. A single office desk size certainly aids space planning but may not necessarily deliver the most efficient results in terms of space usage nor, yield the most productive work environment. Companies readily accept that status dictates workspace size allocation but, are seemingly reluctant to allocate work space and office desks based on activity.Activity based allocation of office desks & types of work space based on functional needs may result in different types of work space and office desks being provided. Research suggests that this is particularly appropriate for knowledge workers who work both independently and collaboratively. |
