Design an open-plan office with the right technical equipment

The first question you will ask yourself when designing workspaces is, of course, what requirements your office concept must meet. An open-plan office should be characterized by short communication channels and generally friendly cooperation. Collaborative creative work is thus promoted in a particularly productive way.

First of all, the design depends on the industry. Depending on the size of the team that is to work together in an office, different challenges arise. If the team is manageable and only a handful of people sit together, think and communicate with each other, then employees need not be too afraid of strong noise.

However, if your company has ten, twenty or even more people working together in a large room, appropriate precautions must be taken. In this way, you can enable your employees to work in a comfortable and concentrated manner. In addition to pleasant lighting and a good indoor climate, it should also be possible to withdraw if necessary and enjoy some privacy. Therefore, break rooms or lounges are also essential. This allows employees to use a separate part of the office for phone calls, short breaks to think or to talk to colleagues. The other workers are not disturbed.

Of course, you shouldn't skimp on the right office equipment, such as tables with integrated power strips, ergonomic chairs and other furniture. Nowadays, however, the focus is increasingly on technical equipment. In times of video conferencing and the like, an open-plan office must not only enable direct communication with colleagues within the room, but also online communication with customers and colleagues.

 

In order to combat possible noise pollution, sound-absorbing room dividers or table dividers can be used to good effect. But noise-absorbing headsets can also be an absolute game changer here; this allows the noise to be blocked out if required, but also to participate flexibly in video conferences and telephone calls. In the context of globalization and the possibility of working in the home office, spontaneous video calls are no longer a rarity.

In addition to audio technology, video technology should not suffer either. Employees should be provided with high-quality screens that ensure particularly eye-friendly and longer concentration thanks to their high quality. For conferences with several participants, on the other hand, a well thought-out video conferencing system should be available in a conference room. Nothing disrupts a focused and productive working group more than having to deal with technical problems or missing deadlines due to technical difficulties. This can be avoided by taking the appropriate precautions.

An open-plan office continues to stand for good communication with each other. This should be possible both on site and online. For this reason, all computers should be linked to each other and be able to access a common platform. This allows collaborative and fast working to be implemented productively. We would be happy to advise you on selecting and setting up or optimizing your software.

 

Designing a conference room with technical expertise

A coherent room concept is essential for every conference or meeting room. This includes lighting technology, furniture and also the technology. As business partners and customers often meet the company in conference rooms, these rooms also have a representative function. Stylish furnishings and modern technology are particularly indicative of a competent company.

With a high-performance video and audio system and the appropriate technology for presentations, every conference room is well served. Whiteboards, flipcharts or projection walls round off the modern look.

 

 

First and foremost, the needs of the employees are paramount. A discussion with your employees will give you clarity as to what requirements they place on your open-plan office concept. This is the best way to design the optimal open-plan office within your available financial resources, in which employees feel comfortable and can concentrate on their work.
