The days of the knowledge worker have arrived and are here to stay. Working on a diverse range of tasks throughout the day, from focused individual work through to open collaborative work and everything in between. Technology has advanced to the point where people are connected everywhere they go. The ability to check a work email from home or have a business meeting with someone on the other side of the world provides great possibilities for the future of work. So shouldn’t our office environments reflect this?

MotionOffice® is about providing the workplace with a family of products to better suit the diverse range of tasks that workers of today are facing. It’s about empowering employees to choose a space that will work for them. This could be a private work pod to complete a high focus task, a team workspace to provide training to your staff, or an open collaborative area to build stronger working relationships.

Designed with flexibility and customisation in mind, MotionOffice® can provide a range of spaces with our system of office furniture. Because no two workplaces are the same.

Spent another week squeezing new hires into offices already bulging at the seams? Not sure how you are going to reduce the facilities operating costs, with rents on the rise and the current recruitment drive still going strong? It’s time to rethink the way your office works.

While it is true that many businesses do not have any plans to move to an ABW situation, large numbers of companies are planning to do so or have already placed their business in this situation. If you are considering a move to Activity Based Working, there are a number of important points you should consider before you start the move.

Just because the concept of activity based working is believed to be outstanding, it doesn't necessarily mean it is right for you. Or, if it is right for you, you may not be in an ideal position to implement such a flexible working environment. So how do you know the optimum time for adopting this type of physical and cultural change?

Some people who work in an open-plan office think they are in an activity based working environment. They are not. An open plan office is just a traditional office layout with fewer walls and pieces of furniture. An ABW workspace creates areas to maximise cooperation between workers and thus the overall productivity of the business.

Perhaps so many people believe that activity based working (ABW) doesn't work because they don't completely understand the benefits, or at least, aren't looking at them as such. If the end goal of any business is happier and healthier employees who are more productive, then certainly the claim that activity based working doesn't work is a false one.

Mobile devices have freed office workers from being desk bound and led to a new way of working: Activity Based Working or ABW. As more and more companies make the shift to ABW workspaces, the evidence is clear that a more flexible style of working benefits both employees and employers, saving time and increasing productivity.
