Chris Johnson from JS Online who specialise in ergonomic office chairs and boardroom chairs said, “Experts are calling this trend the ‘Soft Environment Office’ partly down to the introduction of PDAs and other hi tech devises which have made working in more comfortable locations a reality for many which has in turn removed the need for the traditional cubicle style layout.”
Backed by findings from the Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, which found that an employee's physical environment can have a major impact on both their overall performance at work and their overall mood, this new trend is expected to be favorable among health officials worldwide.
As the physical environment of workers in addition to their office layouts are found to have a huge impact on overall productivity, adding support to the view that a fluid set up is the way forward for office interior design.
Mr Johnson added, “Traditionally the cubicle style office layout was introduced to keep employees focused on their work, but today the main focus seems to be on making sure that employees are both relaxed and happy within their working environment and encouraging a more dynamic working environment.
“Some office spaces are even incorporating soft style chairs into specified communal working areas to allow employees to work from their laptops.”
