YOUBE wanted creative, beautiful workspace solutions for their brand-new coworking space—and Poppin was there to help with furniture that met their clients' needs.
What is the office really for? All these months spent working from home have shown us what we need from the office...and what we don’t! An office your team will want to return to should provide what working from home can’t: fostering human connection, driving the kind of casual conversations that inspire innovation, providing tools only available in-office, and continuing your company culture. We’ve made it super-simple to reorganize your workspace with a focus on these “only in the office” goals.
Goal: Maximize Collaboration and Creativity
Solution: The Touchdown Space
In-office, you’ll want to maximize collaboration and communication in order to foster creativity. Don’t recreate their individual desk space (they can get that at home!). Rather, offer a shared table to encourage the daily casual conversations that spark great ideas.
You don’t run into your colleagues in your kitchen at home! (And honestly, thank goodness for that.) Unfortunately, running into your pet at the table doesn’t create the kind of interdepartmental conversations that drives businesses forward. The solution? Be purposeful about creating in-office spaces that encourage chance run-ins and casual conversations.
With employees both in-person and remote, it’s important to create designated spaces for managers to connect with their employees. Instead of taking up a conference space meant for groups, an office phone booth allows for video calls that don’t disturb conversations happening around you.
