National Good Office Week fast approaches
Office design news from Morgan Lovell
Published on 08-08-2006
The British Council for Offices' (BCO) National Good Office Week is just under two months away and a program of research and presentations is planned.
The BCO aims to engage the office design industry in debate on the new strands of office design thinking and new ranges of design features. The whole week will aim to raise the profile of office design and encourage participants to actively engage in the field.
This year's week long event will begin on October 2nd 2006 and continue until the 6th. Themes for this year will involve tall buildings, sustainability and issues of security in modern developments.
Richard Kauntze, chief executive of the BCO, stated: "Credible research clearly demonstrates the impact that the working environment has on employee performance. But great offices go beyond simply 'housing employees'. Today the office agenda is driven by sustainability aspirations, innovative design, fit out that matches brand values and more.
"Corporate real estate will usually be in the top three fixed costs on any businesses' balance sheet. National Good Office Week throws open the debate about the offices we work in, how we manage them, how they will look and perform in the future and how they contribute to the UK's overall economy."
Around nine million people work in offices throughout the UK and office design is a crucial factor in creating and maintaining a good working environment.
A fresh and well designed office can improve staff productivity and general motivation.
