Types of Businesses That Can Benefit From Open Workspaces: Often called office hoteling or benching, open workspaces encourage communication, brainstorming, and creativity that are essential to success in collaborative and creative environments. What some businesses probably consider a drawback of open workspaces - lack of privacy - other businesses embrace. Often, change has a domino effect (in a good way!) Before you decide how to lay out your new office, consider the pros and cons of open workspaces versus cubicles, consult your employees, and weigh the costs and space constraints. Shaking up the status quo work environment with a bit of office reconfiguration can energize your team. If you'll soon be moving offices, now is the ideal time to consider a change. This ideal does serve as a brass ring to motivate employees, though! Most employees work in either an open workspace or a cubicle, and there are pluses and minuses to both setups. Except for a fortunate fraction of workers, the reality is nowhere near this ideal. If you ask employees to describe their ideal workspace, many would probably describe a spacious corner office with sweeping city views, a fully stocked mini-fridge and a cozy sofa ideal for power naps.
