Regardless of being one of the first to accept remote work, Google is determined about getting its representatives back in the workplace. This hybrid, “flexible workweek” is important for the organization’s conviction that face to face — and frequently spontaneous — associations prod novel thoughts and arrangements. Google today shared its arrangement for post-pandemic workplaces.
The New York Times sums up Google’s impending vision as “IKEA meets Lego.” “Team Pods” of movable chairs, desks, and digital whiteboards could supplant columns of desks, while a “Campfire” conference room idea includes enormous wall screens for those on video so that “virtual participants are on the same footing as those physically present.”
Different advancements incorporate movable walls, “fabric-based overhead air duct system that attaches with zippers,” and privacy robots that inflate balloon walls. Google has for quite some time been keen on the possibility of mobile actual spaces that can adjust to the current necessities of a group. One shared work area model can consequently change stature and screen slant once representatives identification in.
These plans will be applied to 10% of Google’s worldwide office space throughout the following year. One spot where it will actually want to execute these plans all the more completely is impending workplaces in Mountain View. Charleston East and other also styled structures could be finished by ahead of schedule one year from now.
Google is additionally constructing open air working spaces on parking areas and yards that element outside tents and teepees. Other transient changes incorporate cafeteria buffets changing to boxed suppers and separately bundled snacks, while workers will have a pivot timetable to get back to their perpetual work areas where they will have no quick neighbors. Workplaces will just utilize natural air instead of an outside/recycled blend.
At last, Google needs to factor how most — around 70% — of its representatives have enjoyed telecommuting while rethinking and upgrading post-pandemic workplaces.
