We want to work where we can be productive and relaxed. We're looking for flexible working environment solutions to our fast changing working day. Big heavy office desks in rigid rows, cubicles, banks of shelves and partitions are no longer offering us the environment we need. We need a flexible portfolio of furniture that's moveable, adaptable and scaleable.
Dragonfly understands that the workplace is changing. We understand that we all want to work in our own individual way. Dragonfly offers office furniture products of infinite choice and design to provide a high degree of configurability. We have a wide selection of office tables and office desking of all shapes and sizes with wheels and flexibility. Moveable storage units and filing systems. Flexible mobile screens. In all you can adapt, change and modify your office in an instance. Teams can merge and disperse as the need arises. Individuals benefit from being able to work almost anywhere within the office.
The furniture industry has continuously offered up new ways of working and new ways to organise and influence the workplace. None has been so hot and ubiquitous as the breakout zone. A zone that's open to multiple interpretations from the 'don't know what it is but we should have one' to the downright wacky. The conclusion to come from this however, is the widespread acceptance that within the workplace there is a real need for multiple working scenarios and it can no longer be a desk, task and tub chair.
One way of making mobile or home-based teleworking a practical option is by creating "touchdown sites". Essentially, touchdown sites enable location-flexible employees to drop-in and have access to corporate systems or specialist facilities, meeting rooms, secretarial services, and so on. They can be based at an organisation's own premises and this is, by far, the most common approach. However, they can also be at third party premises, and this second approach delivers most benefit if it is accompanied by a significant reduction in property.
The term "hot-desking" has acquired a negative image, largely because of some poorly devised implementations that have been well publicised. The underlying idea is that "personal space" is replaced by "team space". Crucially, hot-desking is not a question of reducing space, but tailoring facilities to modern work practices and processes. When implemented well, it can reduce facilities costs and provide staff with a better working environment. Best practice implementations offer a variety of work-settings optimised for different tasks.
There are a variety of hardware solutions for touchdown sites and hot-desking areas, for example the use of mobile PCs and docking stations coupled with "follow me" telephony. In this way the concept of working "any time, anywhere" becomes seamless and practical.
