Abstract:
The traditional office has evolved dramatically with new technological advancements.
Office space concepts have grown and changed over time. Throughout the course of this paper,
we will dive into the ideal workspace. For example, collaborative thinking is typically paired
with open office plans that force people to communicate and be close to one another. A more
private and traditional office cube can provide a feeling of trust and empowerment for the
employee. In order to fully understand which type of changes and improvements are needed for a
company’s workspace, supervisors must first understand how their employees view their
workspace and identify any key barriers to satisfaction and better performance. These key
barriers can include physical changes while others may be empowerment and perceived control.
Several companies, from various industries, have conversed with their employees and are
beginning to take steps towards improving their employees’ workspaces.
