If you’ve been following modern office working practices, you’ll no doubt have heard about agile working.
This is a specific model which focuses on the task at hand, rather than the person, and allows workers to move around as they see fit ensuring the task is completed in the best possible way. These spaces are innovative, bright, and creative, and very comfortable places to work. They often feature trendy office furniture and plenty of relaxation spaces too.
Despite that, is agile working always the best way to go?

Agile working can be adapted for most businesses, but it does require a large space in order to make it work in the best way. For instance, making use of booths and zones needs a large open plan design, which is something not all offices have. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate elements of the agile model, helping you to grab at least some of the benefits.
Every business is different, and there is no ‘one size fits all’ answer. Despite that, agile working is certainly very popular for modern open plan spaces. It really comes down to assessing your space, the work you do, and the employees you have in terms of whether this is the right option for you.
