Open office makes you easier to get sick! Do you know the advantages and disadvantages of open office?

When they were young, many people dreamed of their future as follows: going into and out of high-end office buildings, sitting in independent offices, reading the materials submitted by their colleagues... After many years, their dream was only half realized, that is, going into and out of high-end office buildings, sitting in open offices, and catching up with the planning plan required by the boss.

The open office is the standard configuration of many modern enterprises. Employees use the same long table. There is not only no personal desk, but also no partition for the long table. The way of sharing a long desk, also known as open office, is an office mode that makes many urban white-collar workers feel "angry and helpless". However, in fact, open office has both advantages and disadvantages. Enterprises should adopt this office mode according to the advantages and disadvantages and their own conditions.

What are the disadvantages of open office?

1. Make employees more likely to get sick. Open office has shortened the distance between employees and made the office environment more intensive, which may aggravate the spread of bacteria and make employees more prone to infectious diseases.
2. Make employees lack privacy. Open office can make employees lack of appropriate factors and independent space. Working in this environment may reduce productivity and sense of work achievement.
3. The environment is noisy and the employees are not focused. The open office environment is usually noisy. In this case, the employees' attention is easily distracted. When a person who is focused on work is interrupted by others, the employees' thinking will stop, and it may take a long time to return to work.
   
   

   

What are the benefits of open office?

1. Increase employee communication opportunities. Open office provides a convenient communication platform for employees. People sitting together can communicate with each other face to face, which is conducive to promoting the progress of work projects.
2. Weakens the relationship between superiors and subordinates. In an open office environment, no matter the commissioners, supervisors, managers or directors, all sit in the same place, which is conducive to weakening the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and also helps employees communicate equally.
3. Reduce costs. For enterprises, the biggest benefit of open office is to save costs. Hundreds of people "share a room", and enterprises can save the costs of house rental, sanitation and air conditioning.
