How Needs are Changing the World of Work: New Demands for Remote Work, Office Design, and Ergonomics
- Reduced Office Space: The shift to remote and flexible work models has led to a decrease in office space. Companies save costs by needing less physical space since not all employees are onsite simultaneously. However, this model requires new approaches to office organization, such as the shared desk principle.
- Shared Desk Challenges: With multiple employees sharing a workspace, productivity and emotional attachment to the company may suffer. According to the Gallup Engagement Index, employees without a dedicated desk often exhibit lower engagement and feel less connected to their organization. Adjusting to a new chair every day can also be a hassle.
