UNDERSTANDING OFFICES ELEY J. Księgarnia

Many books on management teach leadership skills or one-minute decision-making, describe doughnut organizations or ways of thriving on chaos. Yet they seldom discuss where such actmties take place ...

Few companies systematically treat space as a scarce resource or make conscious efforts to get the best from their buildings. What is the point, for example, of allotting desks or even rooms to people who will only use them a couple of days a week? This incisive text cuts through the inertia and demonstrates the benefits to be gained from taking buildings seriously. It assesses 'location-free' options, telecommuting and 'hot desking', and then provides practical, commercially based guidance on:

• ensuring your building is fit for its purpose, enhances your image, offers value for money and does not waste space

• giving employees the right amounts of space

• opting for enclosed or open plan offices

• finding attractive and functional furniture and lighting

• stamping out Sick Building Syndrome through improvements to comfort

• incorporating amenities: gymnasia, shops, smoking rooms, car parks and creches

• making buildings 'intelligent', energy-efficient and responsive to changing technological requirements

As organizations change, their buildings must continue to support them and the finał chapter considers renovation, rearrangement and relocation to new premises. This book heips managers take sound decisions about office space.
