A spacious workplace, separated by partitions where workers see and hear each other work. The open space has very quickly replaced the classic offices and is becoming the concept of the new head offices of large companies.
The particularities of the Open-Space
The open-space or open workplace is a concept whose origin is "open-plan offices" that was developed by the Shnelle brothers in 1950. A collective workplace separated nowadays by a partition, where different workers at different jobs are grouped together.
The open workspace breaks down the barriers between employees, a very good means for better communication and cohesion leading to teamwork. Noting that better communication naturally strengthens collaboration between employees and managers at all levels.
The company therefore provides a better condition for its employees while ensuring that everyone has the space and equipment necessary to do their job well.
The privilege of a classic office
A classic office is a place where the employee feels comfortable performing his or her tasks while at the same time finding their "home" through the personalization of the workplace.
Perfectly adapted to workers whose work requires confidentiality, a classic workplace or a partitioned space allows them to be more concentrated in carrying out their tasks.
This workspace encourages each employee to become more competent and improve their productivity. It also limits the pressure and stress of the worker who is not constantly under the gaze of his or her superior and colleagues.
The difference between an investment for a classic office and an open space office
An open space reduces the company's real estate costs because this type of workspace already includes high-speed Internet access, the necessary equipment, free refreshment areas and professional cleaning services.
While a traditional office is a source of expense for the company because it is necessary to invest individually for each office for the purchase of furniture, heating equipment as well as the materials necessary for the realization of the tasks of each one.
An open-space workspace is a very good investment for a company because it limits the investment while giving a better working condition to its employees. While a workspace with classic offices requires a lot of investment on the part of the employer because each employee should have in his possession the furniture and the elements necessary for the realization of each person's tasks. It is strongly recommended for companies with confidential tasks to carry out their work in the heart of a closed space.
