Must Know Facts About Millennials:
At Calibre Office Furniture, we are delighted to introduce and bring to you our brand new collection of must know workplace facts on a weekly basis. We intend to cover a diverse range of popular and interesting workplace topics.
We will begin this series off with an insightful article we came across by Forbes, on 3 office design trends driven by millennials. What comes to mind when you think millennials? For me, a typical millennial worker would be modern, trendy, interactive, creative and innovative.
The key takeaways from this content piece is that millennials in the modern working world favour nonconventional and more collaborative workspaces. Millennials also tend to embrace deliberately designed furniture and lastly make the most out of high technology wherever they can in the office.
We will look at a couple of the office trends mentioned above in greater detail. Let’s start off with the second office trend outlined in the article. The key learning here is that modern workers perform better when their office desks and daily office essentials are quirky, unique and more personalised in design. This concept has largely been inspired by the popular Perch founder Lucy Lyle. According to Lyle, modern workers perform better if they have an exceptionally attractive and creative workspace to carry out their daily duties in.
The last office trend we will bring to light again is linked with millennials being confident that high technology is truly here to stay. Therefore, if it has anything to do with millennials, you will always find wireless keywords, personal laptops, tablet, smartphones and even game consoles at every part of the business.
In a nutshell, it’s time to ditch the more private and unsociable corner desks and cubicles that you may still use and move towards a more positive, open, collaborative and creative work environment. Millennials are guaranteed to work better in the latter working conditions. FACT!!!
