From the Traditional Office to Healthy, Agile and Smart Workspaces

Companies are changing their structure, processes and spaces to achieve a more agile and flexible work system, taking advantage of the opportunities opened up by technology in addition to enhancing creativity and well-being

A new way of approaching work, putting the focus on what really matters: ideas, projects and people

Castalla/Alicante.- March 9, 2021.- The pandemic has sped up this evolution, aimed at creating efficient, safe and healthy workplaces that respond to new needs in an increasingly digital, flexible, mobile and ubiquitous work environment.

These new ways of using space require offices, and the furniture that equips them, to be able to modify their distribution and layout. With remote working taking off worldwide as a complement to in-person work, traditional offices have become part of an ecosystem that requires us to optimise and increase the efficiency of spaces. What are deemed to be traditional offices have been evolving for some time, currently moving at an even faster rate towards becoming secure, agile and smart work environments.

In-person work now requires offices as we know them to be re-adapted -states Soledat Berbegal, Consultant and Director of Brand Reputation at Actiu-, through safe environments that incorporate agile and smart solutions, and that improve the environment, productivity and, in turn, worker satisfaction. Solutions in which furniture, space and technology place the user at the centre in order to adapt to their needs."

Safety and well-being

It has been almost a year since safety, security and #health became of the utmost importance in the workplace, something which will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. This is why safety, social distancing, human density and cleaning protocols are becoming increasingly consolidated, in which sustainable furniture that facilitates user well-being is also seen as an added value.

New work methodologies

Current global challenges are also forcing companies to change their structure, their processes and their spaces to give way to a more flexible work system, taking advantage of the opportunities opened up by technology while simultaneously boosting creativity and well-being. A new way of approaching work by focusing on what is relevant: ideas, projects and people.

New methodologies are emerging that foster flexibility and innovation through collaboration between people and technologies. This cooperation helps to cut down on operating expenses and lessen the impact on the environment. 

The agile methodology is a key part of this transformation in large companies, enabling work to be organised and assigned quickly and flexibly between different multidisciplinary teams, without losing control and with the ability to make the best decisions at all times. 

All this has resulted in agile solutions and furniture provided by #actiu for collective workspaces, which open the door to the culture of project-based work, providing autonomy, freedom and flexibility regardless of the space used by each team member. A proposal that is in line with its product philosophy, which has always stood out due to a versatility that has opened the door to environments beyond the #office, such as homes, hospitals, universities, airports and hotels, to name a few.

Smart Technology

New smart tools allow the possibilities of technology to be taken advantage of to equip spaces and furniture with sensors, in order to ensure adequate environmental conditions, as well as the optimal and efficient use of the entire working space. 

Smart tools that #actiu has been developing since 2018, following the launch of Actiu Next, with the aim of contributing to people´s well-being and workspace efficiency. A prototype that has evolved into the current Gaia project, an IoT platform with sensors built into the furniture, enabling data to be collected on how it is being used along with the conditions of the surrounding environment.
