For owners and managers looking to increase productivity and get the most out of their employees, having an office with an open floor plan can be a great idea. Taking workers out of private cubicles or offices and placing them in open spaces can help encourage interpersonal interactions and, in turn, productivity. According to
The Wall Street Journal, “email traffic dropped by more than 50%, while decision making accelerated by some 25% because workers were able to meet informally instead of volleying emails from offices and cubes” when GlaxoSmithKline made the switch to an open space. But because every office has at least
some need for privacy, interior glass
sliding doors can be a great addition.
