flexible working and unallocated desks

Flexible working has developed into a practical, and beneficial, method used in designing office layouts. From the ineffective hot desking concept, flexible working is now much more than a cost-saving idea. Instead it can improve cohesion between staff from different teams, allow people to work in the setting needed for the task, and to work in teams when and where they are required.

Innovative office furniture is a key facilitator to flexible working, change management and re-engineering a business. However innovative working can be as much about how the office furniture is to be used, as about any radical geometry. Examples of innovation in office furniture...bench desking, the corner-desk before that, have all been based upon an analysis of work styles, interaction, technology and the culture in a company. When furniture harnaces these, innovation is possible.
