workspace design
Arranging work environments
Workspace design is the planning and arrangement of physical or digital environments where work happens.
It encompasses layout, furniture, lighting, acoustics, and technology integration.
Good workspace design balances productivity, collaboration, and employee wellbeing: The open workspace design was meant to encourage teamwork but made concentration difficult.
The field has evolved to address remote work, hot-desking, and hybrid arrangements.
