The way we work has changed in the last few years. We’re now more connected to the rest of the world, we can talk to someone the other side of the planet in seconds, share documents and ideas instantly. This modern, information and results-obsessed society has meant a shift in the way we work, play and collaborate.
A traditional or old-fashioned office would be made up of many smaller offices and lots of corridors. This type of office feels constrained and closed in. A modern office should be open plan, allowing lots of natural light to flood in and should promote collaboration – not squirrelling people away behind doors in a small prison cell-like rooms.
Whilst having an open plan office is great for employee wellbeing and productivity, there’s still a need for private space in a modern office. How could this privacy possibly be achieved in an open plan environment?
Simply incorporating office partitions into your existing office or as part of your office refurbishment allows you to achieve privacy yet maintaining an open plan feel.
With a glass office partition, you can easily create new, private working spaces whilst maintaining the open plan feel with the use of glass for its walls. Glass partitions allow the maximum amount of light in whilst offering a high level of soundproofing enabling workers to make calls and meet in private.
Partitions are amazingly versatile as they can be erected and relocated in a matter of minutes. Partitions also require no planning permission which is a massive bonus if you rent your office and helps negate red tape and building regulations.
Partitions can be taken down and brought with you if you moved offices – so it’s an investment, not a cost!
