Q: New research finds that offices with lots of this are actually disliked by many workers?

A: open spaces

WORKERS DISLIKE OFFICES WITH TOO MUCH OPEN SPACE: New research finds that offices with lots of open spaces are actually disliked by many workers. Researchers from the global design firm Gensler say the ideal workspace is one that offers both office and collaborative areas and that workers in those type of spaces are 22-percent more productive than those in workplaces without both types of spaces. Researchers say if your workspace doesn’t have both types of spaces try to get a seat where you can put your back to the aisle to avoid losing focus. (Men’s Health)
