One of the most important principles in creating a workplace strategy is that it should encourage desired behaviours. When the workplace is thoughtfully designed, with the right functions and conditions, employees can focus on their work without expending energy on making the environment function.
In practice, this means the office should guide people towards the right behaviours. This could involve creating natural zones for collaboration, ensuring technology always works smoothly, and offering appropriate spaces for different tasks. When the work environment is user-friendly, employees don’t need to force themselves into the organisation’s way of working – it happens almost automatically.
Examples of how strategy can make it easy to do the right thing
- Clear zones – distinct settings for focus, collaboration and social interaction make it easy to choose the right place.
- Simple technology – reliable digital solutions that require no special knowledge.
- Intuitive design – furniture layouts, signage and design that naturally guide usage.
When the office supports desired behaviours, both the work environment and productivity improve. A well-designed workplace strategy therefore not only makes people happier, it also makes the organisation more effective and sustainable over time.
