Modern Office Spaces & Design Are Redefining The Commercial Segment

The idea of an office space has been evolving over time and modern workspaces are starkly different from what they used to be. Long gone are the days of jobs that kept us confined to cubicles.

Cubicles and traditional office structures have given way to open seating and design. As organisations strive to keep their workforces engaged and motivated, there are now debates about location to interior design facets - every element is accounted for.

This has been the result of a growing recognition about the role of buildings in impacting and improving productivity. Today, workplace designs are even actively accepted as an important employee retention tool.

What makes an office ‘click’?

Building an environment conducive to high productivity requires a number of things to come together. The pointers below cover a few essentials.

- An environment that hosts a number of diverse businesses together creates a space synonymous with growth, innovation and inspiration. They can be a huge psychological boost.

- Being part of an integrated development is a bonus since it is in line with new-age trends like the ‘walk to work’ philosophy.

- Aesthetics can play an important role too. Research indicates that a number of aspects like the presence of indoor plants, natural light in the workstations and access to long-distance views are rated very high in employee wish-lists. They’re known to boost employee morale and energy.

- Modern professionals spend a lot of time working at their desks. With that in mind, it’s key for progressive business owners to give their team members the opportunity to personalize their workstations in meaningful ways.

- Good location and accessibility can help cut down commute times.
