“自由地址”的工作环境能创造地方感吗?

“Free address” workspaces in which employees no longer have a permanent desk space are becoming increasingly popular. 在这个系统中, occupancy sensors are tied to each workstation to track which ones are occupied each day. Employees can track and reserve their spot for the day through a software application and view the seating assignment on monitors throughout the office.

Employees can track available seating on monitors throughout the office.

根据 CBRE’s 2018年美洲居住者调查, “52% of respondents anticipate implanting some level of unassigned seating in their workplace to promote space efficiency and space plan flexibility”. Tech-focused companies are keen to embrace this trend as the industry lends itself to more telecommuters and the desire for flexible spaces as needs and technology change. 代替指定座位, offices are incorporating spaces for teams to gather when working on a project or developing a software application together. 随着公司转向免费地址环境, 他们还能创造一种地方感或归属感吗, 或者员工会觉得他们总是在移动?

IBI Group recently completed Interior Design services and Furniture Selection for a 25,000ft² IT office renovation that delivered flexible team workspaces along with free address work stations to meet the demands of the company’s new flex workspace program they are exploring. The space needed to be transformable and flexible for current and future uses that can adapt to changing needs and technology.

该公司的愿景专注于健康、健康和生活质量. The switch to free address work stations will enable this vision by creating more movement and encouraging higher employee engagement in the workplace. 然而，这也可能让一些人渴望一种地方感. Employers and Designers must play an important role in this transition by:

• Offering a variety of seating (open and closed offices) or view choices to allow employees to work at their optimum comfort level.
• 为团队工作和协作创建公共空间和小组空间.
• Providing common storage or filing cabinets for long-term and permanent project files to reduce the need to tote large amounts of work around each day.
• Creating seating sections for full-time employees so it’s less disruptive for them to adjust their workstations and carry paperwork/files each day.
• 提供配备跑步机工作站的充电空间, 按摩椅, and yoga/fitness rooms allow employees to keep active during their breaks, 在不断变化的工作环境中减轻压力.
• 设计舒适的办公室. 根据 西榆树公司对办公趋势的研究, providing plush textiles and natural woods similar to one’s home make people more relaxed, 增加他们的情绪健康.

员工还可以通过以下方式培养办公室归属感:

• Choosing a space close to team members for increased face-to-face communication and collaboration.
• 个性化他们的空间 个人照片 在他们电脑的屏幕保护程序中代替物理图片.
• Taking advantage of the amenity spaces or breakout rooms when in need some time alone to work or decompress from the everchanging environment.

几家公司正在表演 research 在自由地址工作空间. More post-occupancy evaluations should be done to determine if they are a benefit or a detriment to the employees and the company. Employers and designers should continue to engage the end users in the design process and take their emotional and physical wellbeing into account in order to support a sense of place.
