New Study on Office Luxury: Google’s Architect said – More Facilities Reduce Creativity
Luxury offices around the world were designed to provide a better environment for the employees at the workplace. Multinational companies provided luxuries like gym, fitness classes, delicious food, organic garden, massage room, laundry service, private park, volleyball court and swimming pool in the office itself. It was believed that they improve the ability of employees to work, but a new study has found that these facilities are not liked by the employees for a long time.
The study found that office luxury disturbs the work-life balance of employees. Architect Clive Wilkinson, who designed the famous Googleplex in US’s Silicon Valley, says that providing luxury facilities in office campuses is a one-sided aspect. It also has negative effects. Wilkinson says that if a company wants to develop creativity in its employees, it should not create a very comfortable workplace.
Luxury couches and comfy sofas make the lazy
According to a new study, if there are luxury couches and comfortable sofa-pillows in the office, then employees are definitely lazy. Their creativity declines. A company like Google provides free food, nature walks and private transport to its employees, but the result is that after enjoying these facilities for some time, the employees also burn out of luxury. They are cut off from the outside world and they do not even know anything about their city. In the era of Corona, there is a need to change the cubicle seating for social distancing.
Now the need to redesign the office
Wilkinson says that it is not right to give over protection to employees. Posh offices can be deadly too. The Corona period has created a need to redesign the offices. Due to social distancing, there is now a need to change the cubicle seating. Do you need bigger project rooms and bigger cafeterias now? Wilkinson says that now we are also making zoom rooms in offices, this is happening for the first time.
