The importance of offering diverse workspaces within an open plan environment. Throughout any typical day, people will congregate and separate, seeking out spaces that best suit the activities they wish to undertake - work, social or personal. Whilst open plan offices facilitate interaction and offer cost benefits they are also notorious for unwelcome distractions and disruptions. As a result, refuges such as meeting rooms that offer seclusion from the grid, struggle to cope with demand. Through better use of existing space, integrated multipurpose and accessible Breakout areas can relieve this pressure, allowing people to choose from diverse settings best suited to their needs. In addition to enhanced acoustic planning, these inviting spaces can encourage movement and activity-based working. Offering a variety of options to mitigate the drawbacks of an open plan office will improve productivity and employee wellbeing. And evidence shows that when people feel better, they work better.
