How to make free address offices more comfortable
By Cristina Herrera, manager of workplace strategy at Ted Moudis Associates
summary
Cristina Herrera, manager of workplace strategy at Ted Moudis Associates, offers advice on how to make your “open address” office more comfortable. Open address refers to an office with no assigned seating, and usually provides varied alternate seating spaces. “It’s easy for workers introduced to this type of space to feel like they’ve lost their sense of belonging and comfort. We are used to having a dedicated workspace at the office where we can be found by our co-workers and where our personal items are within arm’s reach,” she said. Cristina’s tips will help create community and continuity in this new environment.
