The Open Workspace Must Give Way To The Home Office

While some companies have become aware of the productivity problem of open workspaces for employees, some continue to insist on this approach. Indeed, some companies are still focusing on creating large open workspaces for their employees by clearly displaying this decision as a sign of progress for all.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Now, leading companies have understood that the open workspace was one of the biggest scams of the 20th century.

In order to fix this problem, the trend is now towards the development of teleworking or rather what is now called home office. This way, the employee can work from anywhere and especially when he or she wants. He is in control of his time as long as he respects the deadlines specific to his company.

With the Home Office, the employee can choose to work at a time when his energy is at its maximum and thus maximize his productivity.

Imagine what an employee can achieve if he only has to get up in the morning early and work directly from home without having to deal with the stress of public transit, for example.

The prerequisite for this is to provide him with all the necessary resources to do so in the best possible conditions. Currently, just over 8% of companies in the U.S. offer home office to their employees and I am willing to bet that the trend will increase in the future.

The future is therefore part of the home office, which must put an end to open workspace for the greater good of all.
