In today’s evolving work environment, having an organized office space can be tricky. With the workforce more flexible than ever before, it can be difficult to keep belongings secure and readily available when you need them. This makes smart, meaningful workspace design more crucial than ever.

Although flexible working has brought a plethora of benefits to the workplace, it has created an increased need for intelligent and human-centric design to step in and ensure that workers, in all their work patterns, shapes and sizes are still able to benefit from ample storage space, organization and personalization; three key deliverables of smart design.

Research by McKinsey highlights that an effective workspace design, which includes considerations for employee comfort and ease of access to necessary tools, can lead to higher job satisfaction and lower turnover rates. When employees feel their workspace is designed with their needs in mind, it fosters a culture of value and respect, which is crucial for maintaining a motivated and engaged workforce​ (McKinsey & Company)​.

Whether you’re a hybrid worker, have a fixed desk, or work mostly remotely and occasionally hot desk, keeping your workspace neat not only boosts productivity but also enhances your overall work experience. Spacestor offers innovative solutions to help you maintain order, no matter what space you inhabit throughout your working week.

For the Hybrid Worker: Adaptability with Valet

Hybrid work demands flexibility, and Spacestor’s Valet is designed to meet this need perfectly. With its intuitive design, Valet supports problem-solving and creativity, transforming any area into a productive space. It's an organizational tool with endless possibilities, tailored to suit dynamic needs.

Hybrid workers often use their office time for activities they can't accomplish remotely: collaboration, socializing, and team problem-solving. Valet’s kit-of-parts, modular design makes it an invaluable asset in this context. It encourages movement and adaptability, serving as anything from shelving and storage to a collaboration tool. Need a space for team huddles? Convert Valet into a sketch board or mood board holder. Need to organize team materials? Valet transforms into efficient shelving or storage.

In a hybrid work environment, where each day can bring new tasks and challenges, having a flexible and adaptive organizational tool like Valet is a game-changer. It allows hybrid workers to maximize their time in the office, ensuring every moment is productive and every space is utilized efficiently.

For the Hot Desk-er: Smart Storage with the HotLocker

Hot desking requires smart and efficient storage solutions tailored specifically for workers without a fixed desk. Spacestor’s HotLockers are ideal for this, offering shared yet personal storage spaces that adapt to the changing needs of different users. Whether you need a spot for your laptop, personal items, or gym kit, HotLockers provide the flexibility and security essential for a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

HotLocker is a flexible, modular, and secure personal storage system with design appeal, perfectly suited for hot-desk workers. Its electronic, smart locker option means that anyone in the office can electronically assign themselves a personal storage space for the day. With keyless access, there's no need for admin support or keys, making it easy for hot-deskers to access their lockers without hassle. They also allow multiple people to use one locker, optimizing space and accommodating the fluctuating presence of workers at any given time.

HotLockers enable hot-deskers to feel comfortable when they do go into the office, with a space that is available for them at any time. They are the perfect, super-secure system for forward-thinking companies that embrace flexible and activity-based working. The appealing and functional design of HotLockers makes them a valuable asset, ensuring that every hot-desk worker feels catered to and valued.

For the Fixed-Desker: All the Above

While it's becoming less common for workers to have fixed desks, those who do enjoy significant advantages. A fixed desk allows for personalization with family photos, a drawer for favorite snacks, and daily tools kept within easy reach. However, fixed desk workers also need autonomy in how they work and manage their belongings.

Spacestor’s Valet is a great tool for fixed-deskers. Whether you're setting up for a day in the office or transitioning from a meeting room to a collaborative workshop, Valet's design allows you to customize your space effortlessly for your needs at that moment. The Valet can house personal items, photos, fragrance, or serve as a hook to hold your coat or bag during the working day.

Spacestor’s HotLockers provide an extra layer of convenience and security. Fixed-desk workers can assign themselves space within these smart lockers to store workplace tools securely for longer periods. This means less clutter at your desk and more peace of mind knowing your belongings are safe.

In essence, anything designed with flexibility in mind, like Valet and HotLockers, will also serve the needs of fixed-desk workers exceptionally well. The added benefit of design personalization available with HotLockers fosters a sense of belonging and pride in the workplace. Plus, as more workspaces encourage movement and interaction, having these flexible design choices becomes advantageous for all workers.

Spacestor is committed to creating workspace solutions that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal, ensuring that all types of workers feel valued and catered to. With innovative products like Valet and HotLockers, Spacestor helps you organize your office space efficiently, fostering a productive and engaging work environment.
