The workplace concept is changing with time and it is inclined towards creating a need based environment. Though people still follow the age old practices of a cubicle and cabin philosophy but the work needs have made the work culture and the workplace evolve from the conventional arrangements to a modern and smarter work expression.
Work Expression, as work is a way of expressing one's skills to complete the assigned task allotted to an individual or taken by an individual over the course of his job or his lifetime. Now is the time when people are trying to create a workplace where one wishes to go, rather has to go. Where 'wish to go' conveys freedom and choice of happiness, 'has to go' conveys a forced and imposed compulsion without one's choice, but just for the sake of earning his share of a daily bread and butter.
If it is about earning a bread and butter, then why not make the place where it is earned, a place where one could feel energized and happy about coming to. A place where one could feel motivated and energized has a lot better chances to grow and prosper, as it reflects the intentions of the business owners, that they expect results and efforts from their employees, not just in lieu of the salaries they extend but for the comfort and freedom of work expression they impart to their teams.
Many a businesses face the inter department lobbies and communication gaps, the extent of which may vary from business to business but it still exists and has become a part of everyday work culture. Where creating a problem for one another is a part of a work, rather than creating a solution for every problem. It isn't a practice guided by a healthy competition but is directed towards establishing a survival strategy for one's own existence.
Days have come when the business owners prefer to have a collaborative work culture, as they know that even a silent or the most introvert employee of their camp, too must have something brilliant to suggest. It's about engaging all their workers into discussions, given a chance to express and speak up. Lessening up the gap between departments and bringing them together to contribute is what businesses are trying to do, which helps them in meeting their business goals and retaining their work force, as there are many a hidden costs and expenditures which are involved in developing the skills of each individual employee, that a business owner pays for, and nobody wants their best men to leave and work for someone else.
A workplace where an individual gets the feeling of belongingness, has more chances that he would stay there. This feeling is contributed by the conducts and behavior of the staff and the owners, but the furniture arrangement and and the furniture type too acts as an important contributor to it. As it's an element with which an individual spends the most hours of his day and so the more at ease he is with his surroundings the more are his chances to stay and be a part of that work environment.
We at Pyrotech Workspace closely observe the ever changing needs of the work style and work preferences. We believe that furniture is not a mere non-living element of a surrounding but it adds an essence and flavor of life to the work environment.
At Pyrotech Workspace we design need based furniture and work expressions. Not every work expression is similar to the other. The furniture arrangement and the type of furniture depends on its use. Not every work expression could be confined to a typical cubical arrangement and it is not mandatory for managers to be seated in closed cabins. The arrangements and the furniture types have to be interactive and collaborative.
The furniture must serve the specific work style needs of an individual and the entire work environment, where a manager could not only complete his own task, but could also interact and contribute to the tasks of his team and where each of his team member is motivated to suggest.
We give shape to each work expression, studying and understanding it's level of participation and contributions, so that we could offer the best suited work environment, where individuals wish to come rather they have to come.
