There\u2019s a lot that goes into creating an optimal environment for today\u2019s increasingly remote and collaborative workforce. People are a company\u2019s greatest asset, and their ideas exist wherever the people are, with ideas forming when they work cooperatively together. For this modern workforce to achieve maximum potential, providing the tools to help them meet and collaborate where they work is critical. Enter, the rise of the huddle space.<\/p>\n

The 11-page Huddle Space Design Guide is chock full of tips, tricks and best practices for creating small meeting spaces that can have a serious impact on mobile workforce collaboration and productivity.<\/p><\/div>\n

Gone are the days of pulling a small group into an office for a quick meeting, because with rising real estate costs and trends towards open office environments, the concept of the \u201cprivate office\u201d is almost gone at this point. In the 2000s, facility managers typically thought they needed 200 to 400 square feet per person to build an effective office workspace. Today\u2019s standard workspace averages a little more than 190 square feet per person and could hit a mere 60 square feet in the next five years. Global estimates for Europe and Asia are even less, already as little as 50 square feet in many locations. Without private offices, people now seek out a conference room to discuss things\u2014and there simply aren\u2019t enough traditional conference rooms to go around. This is why companies are adding more, smaller spaces instead.<\/p>\n

With huddle spaces, employees seeking quick collaboration<\/a> find an available meeting space where they can engage face-to-face or through a videoconference. The need for this type of meeting space is only anticipated to increase as more millennials enter the workforce. 61 percent of millennials frequently use videoconferencing technology as compared to just over 40% for preceding generations, meaning videoconferencing is not just on the rise, it\u2019s the new normal. So having a way for employees to quickly collaborate with anyone around the globe is vital.<\/p>\n
