Every week, we’re inspired. Every week, we’re inspired by many collaborative workspaces from around the world. The large creative and tech companies behind the workspaces have made an impact in the way offices are designed today. As more workspaces are adapting to the new generation of employees who seek more social and collaborative environments, it’s important to understand which products and furniture could make a difference and encourage these employees to work productively and enjoy the surroundings they work in. So what’s changing? In 2020, collaborative workspaces will be incredibly popular and will open up the opportunity to work with a variety of people within the workplace with the use of new technology that introduces a flexible lifestyle. Mobile technology will allow employees to work on the move and seek new areas away from the desk.

Collaborative spaces will become more popular as well as instant messaging and web conferencing in the workplace. The rise of technology-based working is evident and with the rise of collaboration, it’s important for companies to understand that these key changes are going to have an impact on the employees they attract. In a recent study by Cisco about the rise of the collaborative workspace environment, organisations are having to adapt to the generation who not only use fixed desktop computers and laptops but also smartphones and iPads. So a space to foster creativity as well as encourage collaboration is becoming more recognised and needed.

With the rise in mobile technology and free roaming gadgets, new employee generations will seek spaces that are vibrant, comfortable and inspiring to maximise productivity. Adding a range of fun and cool furniture and creating collaborative spaces can boost and inspire employees to work away from their desks and among others too - engineering serendipity and increasing the amount of chance meetings which fosters a creative culture.
