CHAPTER 9: THE OFFICE OF THE FUTURE: PHYSICAL SPACE, PROTECTION AND PLACE

What will office space and workplaces of the future look like? * Protection: How will employee monitoring be used in the workplace to benefit both employers and workers? * Place: Where will we work geographically? Apple Park, corporate headquarters of Apple Inc, is an example of how the modem workplace is being redesigned to incorporate the use of green energy, providing opportunities for employee physical fitness, and moving towards work with more work-life balance. (2001) found the following rates for distraction frequency: * open-plan office: 65% * double-occupancy spaces: 52% * single-room occupancy: 29% For workers who need to focus on a particular project, these rates demonstrate how difficult it can be to work in an open area, and the importance of having access to cellular or individual workspaces. According to Bernstein and Waber (2019), it seems that employees find creative ways of letting their co-workers know they are unavailable to interact.
