Activity Based Working

Activity Based Working

Imagine having an office space where there are no dedicated spaces for working. With open office designs, it is actually easier to imagine this. Now imagine having a home with no dedicated spaces for specific activities. It is difficult, right? There is where activity based working design comes into the picture. 

We have been habituated to using specific spaces in our homes for specific purposes. You sleep in the bedroom, entertain in the drawing-room, eat in the dining room and cook in the kitchen. When we are so used to the benefits of compartmentalizing our living space, why don’t we think about working space the same way?

The key principle behind dividing your home into these spaces is that each space is dedicated to a specific type of activity. According to the activity, space is designed, organized, and equipped. This is the reason why you feel so comfortable at your home.

If you can bring the same level of organization to your office, you can see a steep bump in productivity. Here are a few dedicated activities based working ideas you should think about:

ABW Or Activity Based Working: A dedicated space for collaboration and brainstorming

Everyone loves the open office designs. They do wonders for teams that are not working on tight deadlines or don’t have to report to the client frequently. That said, when the pressure mounts, teams need their own dedicated spaces to work into. You need immediate briefing sessions, conference calls and a generally collaborative approach to finish the project. For this, you can create a dedicated space within the office by using hush pods, surrounded sofas or meeting rooms using Activity based working principles. 

Have temporary office partition screens

You can use the Activity Based Working strategies for giving teams their own spaces when they need them and use a more cost-efficient approach. All you will need is a set of mobile whiteboards that help your teams conduct more effective meetings while still physically cutting them off from the rest of the office.

Give your employees quiet zones

Collaboration and office partitions are great, but some employees will need their own space to work into. This is not about the C-level employees who need cabins because the work they do is strategic and hence confidential.

This is about employees whose work might not invite collaboration – for instance, someone working in website administration, or backend development, or auditing may not need collaboration with her team all the time. These individuals need their dedicated working spaces for a while.

You can use surrounded sofas and hush pods to create these spaces for them.
