Offices adapted to the new generation of workers

In recent years, we have seen major changes take place in the way of thinking, organizing and fitting out offices. Several conventions have fallen, in favor of more creative ideas. This evolution is explained by new working methods, the growing role of technologies and the arrival of millennials on the job market.

Have employee needs changed?

Seeking flexibility and well-being at work, the new generation is connected and mobile. These young workers therefore want inspiring and productive environments that will allow them to be at their best.

Even if your business doesn't have Google's budget, several things can be put in place to evolve your offices into innovative, efficient, and modern places:

• Culture and brand image: your logo, your corporate values ​​and even quotes have their place on the walls. Your corporate culture should be felt in the premises, providing an energizing effect for both employees and visiting customers.
• Relaxation and collaboration: a juice bar next to a small relaxed lounge is quite appropriate in 2018. Open, friendly and comfortable spaces promote team collaboration, while allowing people to relax in order to perform better.
• Boards and slates: Although technology is ubiquitous, magnetic boards and traditional slates are still popular. Today, walls are both work tools and strong design elements.

The layout of the offices must adapt to the needs of the employees. We must find the essence and culture of the company in order to inspire people and increase their commitment.
