Chance Encounters by Design A Woods Bagot In the Macquarie Group’s Sydney headquarters, designed by Clive Wilkinson <strong>Architect</strong>s and executed by Woods Bagot, no one has assigned workstations. Executives are granted priority in a booking system for certain spaces.
“The whole idea of activity-based working is that you use the right space for the right task, and by doing so you will perform at your best.”—Amanda Stanaway For Amanda Stanaway, a principal at architecture firm Woods Bagot, updating the modern workplace starts with updating how work gets done. She steers clients of her global practice toward activity-based working, an approach to office design that frees employees from assigned seating and allows them to choose different settings in the workplace that meet the needs of their work. It’s appealing and empowering for employees, but requires a shift in thinking for managers who must learn how to manage through clearly articulated expectations rather than by tracking an employee’s presence in the office. “Instead of me saying ‘You need to work from nine to five because I need to know that you are here,’ [even though] you might work on Facebook all day long….The opposite of that is freedom and trust and managing by performance or output,” Stanaway says. Most of the offices that Woods Bagot has designed share a simple premise: instead of assigned desks where workers sit all day, employees have access to a variety of commonly shared workstations, and they can move freely throughout the office as their project requirements and workload dictate. Team members who are running up against a tight project deadline might group themselves at desks in one corner of the office or even create a “war room” by reserving a private conference room for a day. A colleague who needs to do heads-down work can choose a desk in a more private area of the office set up for quiet concentration. Where you work is determined by what you are doing, not by your title, department, or your manager’s preferences. “Activity-based working was developed with the idea that work is made up of a set of activities and actually no matter what type of a worker you are, you will have some collaborative work and you will have some work requiring quiet and concentration,” Stanaway says. “The whole idea of activity-based working is that you use the right space for the right task, and by doing so you will perform at your best.” The style has caught on in Australia, where office space is at a premium. Flexible workspaces are more economical because they use space efficiently; for example, corner offices don’t sit vacant when the CEO is out of town. Some of the biggest adopters have been the country’s largest banks. Woods Bagot, along with Clive Wilkinson <strong>Architect</strong>s, did a SPECIAL SPONSORED REPORT
