Workplace for new normal

Abstract

Office is the place where people carry out the daily work of their businesses. Employees can meet face to face, so they can enjoy professional and social interactions during their work. To do their work requires suitable environment and sophisticated technologies. The office is a fluid space greatly influenced by the requirements, values, technology and culture of the time. The office as we know it was ‘invented’ to solve a problem: the need to host a large number of people and enable easy communication as well as ensure proximity to important documentation. Today such needs are becoming less relevant with cloud-based hosting and conference calls. In our times the focus is very different: to create a space where people feel inspired, motivated and happy, so that employees produce the best work possible. It can be said with certainty that office design doesn’t happen ‘by chance’. Research into work-psychology, developments in technology and other cultural factors have given shape to the office you’re sitting in now, and it will continue evolving. Now in modern world due to the rapid growth of technologies significantly affected on office work place. As computers replace the typewriter, servers replaced the bulk files, punching machine/card machine replaces the huge register, email and voice mail eliminates stackable “inbox” and telephone massage slips and many more. Technologies will change as the world is going on at the same time the role of office workers will change and it will be much more easily in future than technologies which we are experiencing today. When we are talking about the modern technologies mean time we have to think about changes and new ways to do works. In other words, we can say try to innovate our self’s. We have to get experience from old technologies and try to develop new ones. After the impact of COVID -19 so many of us are now working from home and enjoying some of the benefits, like skipping the struggle of a morning commute, there have inevitably been questions raised about whether this pandemic spell the end of the office. Humans thrive on social interaction, and the thought of not stepping foot in an office again is incomprehensible for many people. It’s true that there will be less of a need for one desk per person or masses of meeting space, but we’re still going to rely on the office as a hub for employees
