The best offices have the transformative power to open our minds.
We already know that the workspace is changing and becoming more digitally advanced through the technologies that businesses are adopting for their employees. I have posted about the various technologies and systems that will change the face of the workspace. But what will look like for the work environment? What precautions will need to be made for security? Well, this WIRED article speaks about what effects of these innovative workspaces will have on a business.
In previous posts, I have shared about how employers will begin creating more contracts to recruit freelance self-employed workers for certain projects. There are projections that many employees will be interested in this structure allowing more freedom and flexibility for the workers. But on the other side, there are some negative outcomes that come to a business. For example, there can be a fear for businesses losing their largest assets, which are their employees that obtain exceptional skill sets that have taken business extremely far no longer have a complete attachment to the business. Through this model, these exceptional professionals can be exceptional for multiple businesses, not just one.
This article will supplement my paper by sharing the different avenues that these innovations can positively and negatively shift the workspace. I have often seen positive things that will occur, but haven’t seen much when it comes to negatives. But it would be interesting to see is if more professionals are in favor of this shift compared to businesses.
