Did you know that the layout of your office has an important effect on productivity? A well-thought-out layout can help your employees stay focused and maintain a positive work environment. These are some of the most common layouts used in modern offices:

• Cubicle-grid. One of the most familiar types of offices consists of a series of workstations partitioned by cubicles. Each employee has his or her own personal workspace and enjoys a good deal of privacy. In some cases, the cubicles may be divided by glass panels to allow for more natural light and prevent employees from feeling isolated.

• Open-space. The opposite of the cubicle grid, the open-space office layout has workstations but no separating panels or walls. This setup is extremely popular with many smaller companies since it allows for quick communication and easy collaboration. It’s best suited for quieter office environments without many potential distractions.

• Half-partition. If you’re looking for a compromise between an office dominated by cubicles and a purely open space, using half partitions to separate workstations may be the best solution. Half partitions provide each employee with a distinct space without blocking out much natural light. They also help employee collaboration and to foster a sense of community.
