Office.Info
Dear Reader,
A new year, a new series: We start off with the question of what’s next in terms of new working environments. Taking a look into the past as well as ahead, we develop scenarios that are still a reality for some, already a reality for others - and for yet more, the distant future. Are you curious about where you fit into this picture?
Someone whose job it is to constantly deal with the new world of work is the architect Martin Lesjak. In our interview, he reveals his office habits and work methods. And he tells us how good office design not only results in "atmospheric" improvements but also increases a company’s economic efficiency and productivity.
We’ll also bring you atmospheric improvements of a different kind – unique and engaging tunes from our Office.Playlist!
Those who prefer to stay in the office will find something new to discuss in our pros and cons section. That’s all we will reveal here.
We hope you find our first Office.Info 2012 a stimulating and pleasant read.
Yours, the Bene editorial team.
OFFICE TRENDS
What's next? Just where are we heading with our fast-paced world of work? What will come after the non-territorial office, the open space office and home office? Just where will future job-hoppers and knowledge workers take residence? What will companies have to come up with to dominate in the war for talent?
PERSONALITIES
Work and lifestyle on the cutting edge: In our conversations with contemporaries, we examine the claims, clichés and ideals that circulate about our workplaces. In his work as an architect and concept developer – sometimes for entirely new work environments – Martin Lesjak from Innocad has already seen and heard plenty of them. Brigitte Schedl-Richter interviewed him about his experiences and his personal work environment.
TRENDS
Everyone has experienced this: You go to an agency, a consultancy or office – and suddenly notice that your conversation partner is wearing slippers. Then, with some irritation, you ask yourself where you are - is this place the lady’s or gentleman’s extended living room? Comfortable or inappropriate? Here we will address what kind of statement is made by wearing slippers at the office.
