An Agile workspace is generally mostly an open floor plan that will creativity, community and promote intuitiveness within the company.\u00a0 An environment which supports the generation of fresh ideas and open communication will foster increased productivity, ultimately translating into innovation which can greatly profit the bottom line of any enterprise.<\/p>\n

What are some common characteristics of an agile workspace?\u00a0 Perhaps most important is adequate square footage.\u00a0 While an agile office design can be achieved with up to 50% less square footage than its more traditional predecessor, there is still a need for space for employees to move about freely and to come and go as the need arises. There are many “office hoteling” software solutions to allow for easy management of who uses what spaces when.<\/p>\n

Not to be overlooked is the need for quiet rooms and private meeting spaces.\u00a0 Though the main function of an agile workspace is group collaboration and interchange of ideas, there is still a need at some point for a quiet space for certain tasks and privacy when needed.<\/p>\n

The ideal agile workspace also includes computer desks where devices may be plugged into existing outlets or simply rested on open desks for use with wireless technologies.\u00a0 Optimally, fixed computer stations will include anti-glare monitors, as one of the most attractive features of many agile workspaces is the use of natural light.<\/p>\n

With more natural light available, it is encouraged that such office spaces will do well with real plants. Studies indicate that live plants help reduce stress levels for employees, thereby contributing to a more positive work environment.<\/p>\n

Many agile workspaces also include swivel chairs which can easily be moved from individual workstations to the center of the room for spontaneous meetings and conversations.\u00a0 When more formal meetings are called for, a dedicated space with a large conference table and white board is often effective.\u00a0 Along with this, it is a good idea to display a task board, which helps employees track progress toward specific daily, weekly, or monthly goals.<\/p>\n

If you feel that your business can profit from such a collaborative environment, please contact us<\/a>.\u00a0 We can help you find the perfect space for maximizing the potential of your employees by use of an agile workspace today.<\/p>\n
