Over the past decade, the
idea of an office has undergone significant changes. With the mobile revolution
in full swing, people can work from anywhere they want and still be in touch
with the team using communication services such as internet phones and video
conferencing. Since the employees are not physically in the office, many
businesses will need to rethink the idea of an office and how it is laid out.
It might be a good idea to have desks that are shared for people that come in
at different times of the day or different days. The entire rooms themselves
are changing to include standing desks, treadmill desks, and even recliners and
sofas to allow the employees to be as comfortable as they can so that they can
be as productive as they can. Since there is also a lack of need for a lot of
space, businesses could share office space. So the costs of having a conference
room, lobbies and break rooms. There are any number of arrangements that the
two businesses can come to. The office as we know it is being reshaped and it
will continue to change with the changing technological landscape and the fact
that the internet will be available anywhere.
