Business benefits- Engaging with an audience requires dialogue – and that does not happen easily in large group settings; So, today, organisations place less emphasis on formal ‘presentations’ and more dynamic and engaged discussions; With more emphasis on smaller group collaborations often a team will gather around a screen to share info; It enables them to share content and (more importantly) to add the team’s insights in real time so everyone is on the same page; The shared perspective that emerges in real time can shift the dynamic of the meeting, resulting in shorter meetings yet higher engagemen; And because everyone can see the same screen, there is less need to print handouts to share information (so you can save a forest; In an open plan office, noise pollution can drain the energies of colleagues who need to concentrate, leading to protocols to avoid discussions at the desk; Instead, team members need to find a work-space they can use for impromptu catch-ups or planned meetings – and often they need that to happen around a shared-screen; Increasing the percentage of standing-height furniture in the workspace can prompt team members to reduce their sitting time at work, helping everyone to achieve a healthier state of wellnessUser benefits; The Shape-Classic Media-hub system fosters small team interactions in the workspace using a shared-screen to promote shared insights; The Shape-Classic media-hub leaner includes a table at standing height plus an integrated media-wall (for your monitor); It is ideal for interactive sessions that involve collaborative focus work as well as team discussions, especially stand-up meetings and huddle; With the addition of this purposeful workspace-furniture, individuals can take few steps away from the desk to continue their discussions; It provides a spacial (rather than acoustic-absorbing) solution to the problem of noise pollution; The ability to position the media-hub in the centre of the room or against a wall can liberate the workspace designer; You can use the media-wall component of the hub to help define a space in the middle of the room; Whether you position the hub near a floor or wall outlet, you will appreciate the extensive cable-management system in both the media-wall and table-top components; Use the inset power and data box and integrated cable management system to manage the cables and leads that come with the screen and participants’ devices; Add your monitor using the screen fixing-system that is an integral part of the hub design; Access the cables for the monitor through any of the hinged doors (at rear and sides) of the media wall; See your team members highly-engaged in generating, debating or sharing content – not rearranging furniture or tripping over cables; Create an inspiring space that signals the contemporary stance of your team and the importance you place on their shared insights; Shape-Classic Media-hub leaner comprises a media-wall component (with cable management) integrated with a meeting-table at standing height (with inset power and data box).

The world has changed, and while this presents a number of challenges, the solutions we engineer will generate new opportunities, not least in how we revolutionise the office, but in a way that not only saves time and money, it needs to deliver massive benefits for our health, wellbeing and productivity also.

What is hybrid working?

It’s a combination of old and new. It blends the traditional way of working, as we know it in the office, with modern technology. Ideal hybrid working is tailor-made to fit your personal situation as well as your business needs.  In essence, it allows staff to work from home or the office from day to day, or even within a workday. A company can give workers the freedom to choose when they’ll come into the office, or schedule a rotation, so there’s always a presence in the office while everyone is still getting the job done. This optimisation means better time management…

Saving time

If we go back to the days of our grandparents, they had to travel to work to and from work daily. Before the internet, this was the case for everyone, except for perhaps a few telemarketers. It kicked off with the industrial revolution where everything was about units of production (even people). But the industrial revolution, with all its excesses and exploitations, is long gone. With a choice of working in the office, or working from home, everyone can save time by not having to travel. A worker can be online and connected five minutes after they’ve woken up if they like.  Not only does this eliminate the end-of-day commute, which doesn’t help anybody’s mental health, but considers the benefits to health, safety and the environment when there are fewer vehicles on the road. At the same time, meetings can be organised and held in a matter of minutes, rather than waiting for everyone to gather together after setting space aside to host the meeting. Time is saved on an individual level, as well as for the company because workers can be set tasks and brought into meetings instantly. Having part of the workforce at home also means savings on space, infrastructure, utilities and rent.

 Cost efficiencies

 Companies can vastly reduce costs by reducing the resources required to house a full workforce day to day. According to research by Global Workplace Analytics, hybrid working can save a firm up to $17,000 New Zealand per employee, per year. Less office space is needed if workers come in on alternating days. A business could hold half the workforce they used to on a given day or even just have a small office for high-priority interactions. For a business, this means less spent on rent, maintenance, and even office amenities such as stationery, cleaning supplies, and coffee. On the worker’s side, it means costs saved on travel, parking and maintaining a closet of work clothes for each day of the week.

Peace of mind

By saving both time and money, hybrid working also creates a greater peace of mind. With more time for everyone, money saved, pressure is eased, and the quality of life at a company improves. A happier workforce is a more motivated and focused workforce. This means an overall improvement in performance, both in how things get done and those getting them done.

Conclusion

It’s then safe to say that hybrid working is revolutionising the office by making it more than a place and transforming it into a new, faster, more efficient, and cost-effective way in which to get business done. Setting up a hybrid office is a science on its own. Visit Shape Commercial and Interior workspace solutions for more information.
