MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT OPEN
OFFICE DESIGN
Tips, suggestions, and inspiration from GennGlobal
Misconceptions About Open Office Design -  GennGlobal
INTRODUCTION
 Creating an open office layout is one option to
consider when designing a productive office
environment.
 However, there are various misconceptions about
open office design, both good and bad.
 Next, we will discuss some of these common
misconceptions about open office design and what
they might mean for your office.
Misconceptions About Open Office Design -  GennGlobal
PRIVACY
 One misconception about open office designs is
that there is an inherent lack of privacy.
 However, this is not necessarily true.
 Privacy can be achieved through many different
ways. For example, you might try arranging desks
in such a way that provides more seclusion for
employees.
 It is also important to remember that privacy means
different things to different people, so you should
ask your team what they are comfortable with.
Hey, whatcha doing?
PRODUCTIVITY
 Some also believe that open offices will always
increase a team’s productivity.
 There is some truth to this, but is not true 100% of
the time. The effect of an open office design on
your team’s productivity entirely depends what kind
of team you have and what type of work they do.
 For example, if your team regularly collaborates
with each other, they may find an open office useful
for communication. However, if your team works
independently, they may find this design distracting.
INTROVERTS DON’T LIKE OPEN OFFICES
 A perceived lack of privacy might appear to be a
serious problem for introverts in the workplace.
 However, while this may be the case, there might
be a positive impact as well.
 For instance, an open office can make
communication easier for introverts in the sense
that it makes all of their coworkers more
approachable.
 Once again, we suggest that you check with your
team to determine whether or not an open office
design will be beneficial or not.
Yay, socialising?

Misconceptions About Open Office Design - GennGlobal

  • 1. MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT OPEN OFFICE DESIGN Tips, suggestions, and inspiration from GennGlobal
  • 3. INTRODUCTION  Creating an open office layout is one option to consider when designing a productive office environment.  However, there are various misconceptions about open office design, both good and bad.  Next, we will discuss some of these common misconceptions about open office design and what they might mean for your office.
  • 5. PRIVACY  One misconception about open office designs is that there is an inherent lack of privacy.  However, this is not necessarily true.  Privacy can be achieved through many different ways. For example, you might try arranging desks in such a way that provides more seclusion for employees.  It is also important to remember that privacy means different things to different people, so you should ask your team what they are comfortable with.
  • 7. PRODUCTIVITY  Some also believe that open offices will always increase a team’s productivity.  There is some truth to this, but is not true 100% of the time. The effect of an open office design on your team’s productivity entirely depends what kind of team you have and what type of work they do.  For example, if your team regularly collaborates with each other, they may find an open office useful for communication. However, if your team works independently, they may find this design distracting.
  • 8. INTROVERTS DON’T LIKE OPEN OFFICES  A perceived lack of privacy might appear to be a serious problem for introverts in the workplace.  However, while this may be the case, there might be a positive impact as well.  For instance, an open office can make communication easier for introverts in the sense that it makes all of their coworkers more approachable.  Once again, we suggest that you check with your team to determine whether or not an open office design will be beneficial or not.
