The office environment of the company is open. What are the advantages and disadvantages?

From the employee's point of view, the daily performance is clever and dare not talk nonsense. The decrease of privacy forces employees not to do private things and play computer games. It seems that when you go to work, the work is done and the work efficiency is improved. In fact, I was forced to pretend not to work hard. For example, if someone approaches you, you can accept it around 1 m, but when you are away from 10 cm, you will unconsciously retreat. Why? Invade your personal space! The work is the same, with private space and open office.

It is easy to be disturbed. Everyone who works in the office is doing mental work. Whether you are writing a plan or writing code to fix bugs, you need to concentrate, but the probability of being disturbed in an open office will greatly increase. The disadvantage is that the office is inefficient and affects each other, especially when discussing problems and making phone calls, which will affect the people next to it. On the whole, it is not worth the loss. But the latter boss won't care, because most bosses want book data, so there is no need to mention inefficiency.

Some office space will also have a negative impact on memory. This is especially true for companies that adopt the "public desk" model, which is an extremely open office where everyone can sit on any workstation and place the surrounding equipment at will. There are many advantages of open office space: 1, the screen desk can work flexibly and move at any time as needed; 2. Compact layout, high density and higher space utilization rate; 3. Save the area (walls and doors) on the office decoration.

The open office environment is also conducive to the communication between departments, which brings the distance between employees and leaders closer and helps to improve the unity and cooperation ability of enterprises. Moreover, once an employee encounters difficulties, other employees can brainstorm to solve them. To a certain extent, the mobility and interoperability of this world and society determine that we can't exist without reality. People who need high concentration, such as programmers, editors and designers, will prefer a private and quiet office environment.
