Activity-based working (ABW) is one of the most innovative concepts in the corporate world. In various settings, employees can have multiple activities in relation to their work scope.
In a cost-efficient office space setup, the workers can have an access to a viable amount of resources and technology-based tools. The “work culture” also plays a big part in conceptualization.
If you’re facing a challenge of appealing to many different employee needs, activity-based working could solve a lot of the issues on a daily basis.
Since the individual workload is quite diverse, ABW encourages teamwork and fruitful collaboration. The exchange of ideas will be more productive since there is no visual division that hinders the people to reach to each other.
ABW possibilities are endless — from having a game room work setting, hot desks, informal booths, to standing desks. Some organizations even have ball pits and treadmill desks!
Having the right balance of activity-based working setup, collaborative spaces and open areas should be the focal point. Since diverse teams are expected to work together in their designated home zones, being flexible to adapt also gives interaction benefits.
Privacy in open-plan offices becomes difficult. The architectural plan should consider having enclosed pods or sections that are equipped with acoustic and noise-reducing panels.
Office reshaping can be a hard sell to some structured businesses. Activity-based working should then maximize the use of improved office furniture to fully justify the ABW concept. One of which is having ergonomically designed chairs to make the hot desks more purposeful.
ABW offers more benefits than challenges, such as having increased employee efficiency and wellbeing.
Being design-trendy
In an ABW environment, mobile office furniture is another noticeable design trend. Moveable furniture can be rearranged to accommodate random activities and match different business needs.
For example, if there’s a need for increased headcount, the ABW plan alleviates the issues of the open office design plan as compared with having traditional desks. Now that’s a cost-efficient business unit reorganization!
Be mobile with ABW!
Since employees have different work ethics and behaviors, there is a need to highlight the importance of a stress-free and well-patterned environment.
It is very important to work with professional architects and office interior designers to achieve effective workspaces. Since ABW has a positive impact on workplace aesthetics improvement, more and more businesses will apply this concept. Productivity and efficiency go hand in hand.
