The contemporary office design features an open-space interior design. Most of the reasons behind it is the rapid expansion of new technology that allows us to communicate and work with less restrictions than ever before. Although there are plenty advantages of an open-plan workspace, including increased flexibility, collaboration, creativity, there are some disadvantages also.
People who work in open-space office complain that they are distracted much easier and more often by their colleagues, moreover, employees say that the lack of privacy affects their work effectiveness also. In order to deal with such issues, some organizations have thus created special spaces in the offices where employees can work on their own without any distraction. For example, one of the new Coca-Cola's offices in London, have considered the negative aspects of hot-desking and designed their offices in a way that each employee has its own desk. As a result, it should provide employees with more privacy and less distractions, while there are plenty of room and offices that a designed for collaborative work.Thus, the number of organizations that consider the well-being and effectiveness of its employees regarding the workspace is increasing. It seems that there is a probability that the contemporary office design that features 'hot-desking' will slightly turn back to a more 'traditional' office style.
