WATERCOOLER CHAT: Activity-Based Working Empowerment
Activity-based working (ABW) allows employees to choose from a variety of settings according to the nature of the work they are doing, combined with a workplace experience that empowers them to use a range of spaces throughout the day.
The thinking behind it is that employees will be more productive when they have the right spaces for the specific tasks they need to accomplish. It is not a new concept, it’s the foundation for coworking environments that must adapt to many different work scenarios simultaneously under one roof.
Worklife continues to evolve and adapt to today’s lifestyle, where everything is “on-demand.” From TV shows to food, music to travel, it’s all on-demand. Encouraging workspaces to be this flexible is the next natural step into the future of work. Work environments themselves must become fluid, living, breathing organisms that adapt to accommodate employees’ needs. The workplace will look and feel different for each company or site based on the mix of experiences, demographics, and functions at each location. Undifferentiated open offices with its one-size-fits-all programming template are not coming back.
