The workplace has changed radically over the last 20 years. Today’s office spaces are far from closed-off or private office driven — they are innovative, versatile spaces that change to meet the needs of the individuals who work there. Custom designed office space and contemporary designs can help you make your workspace more efficient, more productive, and more comfortable for your customers and guests. Here are some recent trends that you might want to consider incorporating in your workspace:

Collaborative Workspaces. Some workspaces thrive through constant or intermittent collaboration. Benching systems and other furniture designs allow your employees to sit together and face each other whenever they need to collaborate. Adding these work areas to your office can be the perfect way to foster greater communication between the members of your team.

Open Areas. Taking regular breaks can help to promote a friendly and more comfortable work environment, but the breakroom spaces in many offices don’t feel very welcoming. Open areas, which can include modular seating and collaborative furniture, make for a great addition to any modern workplace.

Sit to Stand Desks. Sitting all day can be bad for a person’s posture and overall health—and it isn’t necessarily conducive to a productive work environment. Sit to Stand ing desks allow your employees to take regular breaks from sitting while still being able to continue their work. If you want to foster a healthier, more productive work environment, sit to stand desks are a terrific option.

Dynamic Seating. The traditional workspace, in which every employee is assigned a permanent desk, has its advantages—but many modern offices promote a more casual atmosphere by eliminating assigned seating and allowing employees to sit wherever they like. In many cases, eliminating assigned seats can be a better fit for your company’s culture.
