Catering for different styles of working, with office design in London

We're all the same because we're all different. Every single one of us has our own personalities, likes and needs that need catering for. In the workplace, this means that different people will each have their own preferred working style; finding a way in which everyone can unlock their preferred working style is key in promoting productivity.

Here, we're going to take a look at how your office design in London can help your employees to heighten their in-work experience, helping them to feel more comfortable, functional and part of a friendly and supportive workforce.

The different working styles, found in an office design in London

When thinking about the set-up of your office design in London, it's vital to understand the differences between working styles and personalities. Introverts and extroverts are personality types that relate to a person's behaviour and their approach to social situations; introverts, think internally and are more likely to prefer solo working (often in the same environment), whereas extroverts are external beings who like to work with others and/or in new environments.

Working styles, on the other hand, refer to the methods by which people prefer to take on their projects. These styles include:

Detailed working. Employees who prefer structure and organisation to allow them to tackle problems and to meet their deadlines.

Thought-based working. This sees employees given the means to draw on their imagination and potential to make informed decisions and to create synergy within their teams.

Expression-based working. An approach that makes use of a readily available support network to connect people and work together.

Data-based working. For people who need to take a more logical, analytical approach to their work.

How different working styles can be integrated within an office fit out

By examining how people work, you can begin to see how certain spaces would be more suited to their working styles to achieve maximum productivity levels. Here are the different workspaces that can be included as part of your office design in London; do they cater to the working styles of your team?

Quiet spaces

Agile spaces

Agile office design is important for any type of worker

Flexible/remote working areas and facilities

balance their home-work life

Breakout spaces

These are areas in which a team will be able to detach themselves away from the stressful working arena and be able to socialise and relax; encouraging different workers and teams to mix, building up rapport. Breakout spaces also work well for hosting informal meetings and providing a casual backdrop for idea sharing between different teams.

Collaboration spaces

Areas that have been dedicated to collaboration are useful for all types of working styles to develop ideas and to reach team goals. Collaboration areas are particularly useful for expression-based and thought-based employees to get together and to share their ideas.
