As we see an increase in open office plans, we are challenged by the lack of privacy and organizational inconsistency. In a survey by OfficeMax, employees felt that clutter within the work space has a negative impact on their productivity, mentality and happiness. With an open office floor plan, more people can see into an individuals work space creating risk for being judged as disorganized, inefficient and unproductive. According to research staffing firm Adecco, the majority of employees admit they judge coworkers by how clean and organized they keep their work spaces.
With any open office floor plan, a functional workstation that is both organized and comfortable is important. Today's work culture is heavily reliant on technology and often requires us to connect to multiple devices. Recent surveys show that a large amount of employees agree that they can improve on organization within the work space and have admitted to spending more than 1 hour searching for a document or file within a short period of time due to being unorganized and operating in a cluttered space. So how do you limit work space clutter in an open floor office plan?
