The Modern Office
by Oxford TeamAug 1, 2019Tenant Representation, Tenant Tips

Ethonomics is the study of the delicate balance between ethics and economics.
It has become somewhat of a buzz word in modern office management culture. Why is that important from a
commercial real estate perspective? Because it is literally changing the way offices are designed.
Numbered are the days of cubicles and long hallways of doors to hide behind as we drudge through our 40 hours, counting down to the weekend. Office design is a reflection of our awareness that work-life balance is not just important for employees to be healthy, happy, and productive. It is imperative.
There is a radical transformation happening.
The modern office is a place for interpersonal connection, collaboration, and co-creation. It is no longer necessary for phone calls, accessing computers or files, attending meetings, and pushing paper. In fact, more and more companies are going paperless and most productivity and communication are digital.
Office spaces feature WiFi throughout, gourmet kitchens, and unconventional, creative meeting spaces in open plan settings that feel more like cozy cafes or living rooms than dedicated workspace. Design is taking advantage of technology and integrating the promotion of living healthier lifestyles. Fitness rooms are as common as blended schedules that offer employees the opportunity to work both remotely and on site. Ultimately, staff are more productive and happier and the office provides efficient, as-needed space.
