6 ideas for optimising a hybrid workspace
Enable focused work – yet make the most of your space
Desk screens let you section off individual workspaces in a space-efficient way. Besides minimising noise and visual distractions, they also double as handy noticeboards. Even so, colleagues can easily reach out to each other when needed, for quick answers as well as lunch plans.
Set up a lifesaver wall
We all know them. The everyday accessories we don’t need all the time – but when we do, they’re crucial. Set up an easy-access, dedicated space for shared equipment. Besides reducing the need for multiple sets, there will be less clutter on individual desks.
Sit and stand at your own command
Height-adjustable desks are ideal for an office with non-personal desks, letting anyone swiftly customise the height. Even better, alternating positions over the course of a day is known to ease strain on your body and generally benefit your health.
Please leave it as you found it
Provide everyone with baskets or organisers for having your personal belongings – paperwork, electronics or your favourite break activity – collected and mobile. This works twofold. Downtime when coming and going is minimised, and you keep all your stuff in check.
Arrange a docking station for personal stuff
In a fluid office or co-working community, some items fall in a category between outerwear and the things you want handy at all times. Make room for them (or they will show up as clutter). Like this collective storage wall – complete with wheeled storage units that also work as makeshift seating.
Encourage people to roam
Last but not least: Desks are great, but they aren’t everything. As much as possible, give co-workers the benefits of room to roam, uncharted workspaces to discover, soft seats to sink into.
