Some additional information
and resources as you consider the alternatives for your private office
furnishings:
1) Herman Miller Research Summary: Beyond Four Walls and a Door:
Understanding Privacy in the Office:
When people need privacy to
do their work and don’t get it, they
report significantly lower productivity and job satisfaction compared
to those who say they have the privacy they need. Conventional wisdom
suggests enclosed offices would address the issue, but this ignores research
that indicates floor-to-ceiling walls and a closable door don’t
necessarily translate into privacy. In one study, people defined privacy
primarily by the ability to own a “territory.” According
to an office consultant, “High-quality work settings allow people
to control contacts and to have a choice about when and how much interaction
they have with others.”
2) Herman Miller Research Summary: Workforce Diversity: What it
means for Job Performance in the Office
To get a preview of the
North American work force in 10, 20, or even 50 years, simply look
around nearly any office and imagine the same scene, only with more
women, a broader range of ages, and more races and ethnic backgrounds
represented. This diversity brings challenges and opportunities for
managing human resources and giving them environments in which they
can contribute their best. Since diversity will only continue, organizations
would do well to consider measures that help the workplace accommodate
a wider variety of people, keep people interested and involved in their
work, and support a person's individuality.
3) Herman Miller Research Summary: New Officescapes: Moving from
Private Offices to Open Environments
There's a growing trend toward
executives leaving their private enclaves to be closer to the action,
to their customers, and to each other. They want to be able to communicate
more easily and make decisions more quickly. They're also looking for
more egalitarian work environments that reflect the goals and cultures
of their organizations. Several top executives share their experiences
about making the move from private offices to open or common areas,
and tell you why the tradeoffs are worth it. Along with other industry
experts, they also offer sound advice to others who may be considering
a move into the open.
