The New Landscape of Work
In organizations around the world, the workforce is changing.
The expectations of workers are changing. How work gets done
is changing. The tools of work are changing. There is a new
landscape of work.
Mobile technology allows work to be done almost anywhere,
yet many ofces are designed as though all the work is expected
to occur at a singular point—the workstation. Collaboration is
increasingly seen as the primary means of generating better ideas
faster, yet few spaces allow for it to occur naturally—and even
fewer actively encourage it.
Herman Miller wants to help you create workplaces that better
support your people while fulflling the government’s requirement
for reductions in real estate spending. When you are ready to
rethink the possibilities of an ofce that can help your organization
do more for the people it serves, Herman Miller is here to help.
