New Offices Designed for Employees Not to Work There

Many companies offer the option of telecommuting, but Plantronics exemplified the Fresh Ideas strategy ‘Turn Up the Volume’ when it designed it’s new Santa Cruz offices.
The new headquarters “doesn’t have assigned desks, has enough desk space for just 60% to 70% of its employees, and houses a number of giant wall-mounted TV screens, which are intended to bring telecommuters into office conversations. The screens are virtually everywhere, including in the cafeteria…. We wanted to be more open to smarter working, anywhere anytime.”
Starting with something familiar can make a new approach easier to implement – how could you take an established practice and apply it in a bigger way?
