How to design workspaces that support employee mental health – The Business Journals.
Here is OPC Inc’s Ergonomic and Accessible Design experts reply to this theoretical based article:
“The idea of having meeting spaces which can be booked so an employee or team can quietly work together is great in theory & on ID & Architects Autocad drawings. OPC’s research in follow up surveys & anonymous questionnaires finds 1. there is a lack of meeting space to actually book regularly 2. the ability to book meeting rooms spontaneously is limited by technology & availability. The current designs of offices which continue to occur on the part of ID and Architects in the absence of human factors data (ergonomics) will cause these designs & implementation to fail the employees who also happen to be the most important & expensive asset in the workplaces. Save on real estate, lose in human productivity and innovation.
