The Privacy Crisis whitepaper provided by Steelcase discusses the issues that companies are facing on the back of more modern workspace layouts. As more and more workplaces adopt ‘open-plan’ designs to promote collaborative work within the office, one type of space is often neglected and that is an area required for focused and private work.
Whilst most organisations argue that collaborative work is a big driver for innovative and progressive work with the benefits being reflected in a businesses bottom line, it is essential that workers are given a good balance to enable them to complete their tasks within the correct, supportive settings. Steelcase discuss the benefits experienced by companies that provide employees with a choice of spaces to complete each task dependent on the type of work they do, and the type of options that are available.
